So I'm sitting at a red light yesterday, minding my own, when a white Ford Ranger pulls up next to me. In it are two teens, the driver had to be 16 or 17, thinking he was cool cause he just got his first vehicle. They've got their windows down, must have heard my exhaust burbling and decided they wanted to play with the V8. Now, it's about 8:15 in the morning, heavy morning traffic and I've got no intention of racing this punk, but he starts revving up his engine. It sounded like a 4-banger and he's bouncing it off the rev limiter thinking he's just hot ****. Light turns green, the Ranger lurches forward and stalls! He went from the "I'm hot ****" look to "beat red embarrassed" in no time flat. I hear the guy in a 350Z behind me yell "learn to drive a stick dumbass!" and I pulled away laughing like hell. I had to share.

 

Hahaha!

 

Would have been funny to be there.

 

He was probablly "learning" to drive stick, literally. (If he looked 16).

Your just lucky that he did'nt know how to drive well yet, and that he was'nt driving a 4.0 V6, with the 4.10 gears, or he would have taken you, no problem.

Then you would of had the red face.

 

Wouldn't have matter, I wasn't going to race him. To race on the road we were on at that time of day with the kind of traffic there was would have been monumentally stupid. And besides, even that four-banger Ranger (with a competent driver) stands a pretty good chance over a 5200 pound underpowered Ram.
