Well, I got busted for drag racing the other night <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>. I was driving my g/f's Del Sol, there was my buddy's Integra LS and my other buddy's VW Golf. (You can see them at http://www.teamhyperrev.com).
Anyways, we lined up at Sunset & Boulder Highway (just got done bowling at Sam's Town). Light turns green and I launch. I look over and my buddies didn't launch, so I go into 2nd gear. Right after I shift they both take off. Now, if you've ever driven a car with a B16, you know they have no low-end torque whatsoever, so I'm at 3500 RPM when they go flying by, and I floor it. I easily pass my buddy in the Golf (115hp, 8v, 2.0L), but catching the Integra is another story. By the time we hit 80 I'm passing him. At 85, I see flashing lights behind me.
We pull over (all 3 of us) and proceed to get sweated by the cop. Luckily, he let us off easy. We got tickets for "Driving at an unreasonable speed" rather than reckless driving. The ticket was only $95 <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>. I got caught drag racing about a year ago and I got a $675 ticket for reckless driving <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>.

I drive a slow car.
0 to 60 in 11 seconds (look out!)
