Fartcan Exhaust

__________________________________________________ _______

So I'm on my way back from school and I'm coming onto Bells Ferry of off I-575N and there's this red Cavalier with rims, a drop, and some random APC fartcan exhaust. I laugh and go around him, stopping at the next light. Well Slim Shady decides to pull up next to me at the light at try to laugh at my Yaris. I'm like, alright then, here we go. I silently rev my 1.5L beast and the wait for the light.

The light turns green. The Cavalier makes this "rising from the dead" groning sound and takes off like a fat man trying to ice skate. I dump the Yaris at some random RPM (No tach) and spin for a quick second before gaining traction and launching like a lawnmower on crack. The Cavalier continues to fight itself at it struggles to gain speed thru it's lackluster, slushbox transmission. I shift the Yaris hard into the second and it scrubs the tires. We're about 10 seconds into the race and about to hit 70mph. Oh shizat! He's already back at my rear tires. I shift into third and it's pretty much over. The Yaris proceeds to pull away as it painstakingly climbs to 85mph in near silence. The Cavalier gives up and falls back, the exhaust bellowing into the night.

I laugh, turn into my neighborhood, and realize that some poor b@stard just lost a race to a Yaris. Oh well, it made me feel better.


+1 for da Yaris!
