This is not my kill story, just something I found and thought you guys would enjoy.
Camaro RS Vs. Audi S4 - Great Kill Story!!!
This was posted yesterday on the E21 Message Board. Enjoy it!!
Poor hapless kid in the new (to him) Camaro RS wants
to race...
He works at a suntan parlor 2 doors down from my store and has seen me fiddlin with my UrS4 out back for nigh on a year since he started work there. I can't imagine how he got this car w/payments and insurance as he's had a ton of tickets and totaled his last car (an Accord EX) by rear-ending an Explorer at a stop light.
Anyway he asks me if I wanna race and I tellim "I'm a road racer, not a drag racer... my car isn't set up for straight line." He was smart enough to say "I won't race you on the road course but I'll race in a straight line with you from a 30-35mph rolling start." I ask him if want's to put any money on it as "jus for grins in a straight line doesn't much suit me." He says "I can't afford to race for money" but then three of his friends say they'll run to the ATM and come up with
$500 that says he'll take me to 120mph. I agreed and told em to go get the money and meet me at "X" spot at 7pm tonight... a little rural road 20 minutes northeast of town.
Now I've got the guilts. They just returned with the money and showed me... all 20's, ATM fodder. They're all stoked and I feel awful. Hell, I like this kid...he works next door and he aint got a friggin clue what he's up against. His car is stock, 3 years old with an auto tranny and Road Hugger 245/50/16 well-used tires. I'm nigh on 400HP and running 26psi of boost and we're racing at 6,300 ft elevation. He's 25-26 years old, I'm 51. I'll kill him or dally with him and
beat him by as much or little as I choose... easily... fretfully
easily... no contest! He's a good kid and he'll take it in stride,
but I don't wanna alienate him. His friends worry me since they're the ones gonna be out a metric butt-ton of money... maybe their rent money or car payments. I don't want my car keyed or vandalized as a result and I don't want to embarrass him in front of them.
But I agreed. I can back out or I can race. I'm thinking, race him, beat him, then tell them to keep the money and be more careful challenging what they know not. I could easily mop the floor with him but I feel guilty about how this little banter has gotten outta hand.
What's yer vote? What would you do?
