well, it is a 4cyl mid line economy car from gm, so i knew it woudl happen at some point.
i got my first "race" in the alero adn got owned pretty bad.
black integra, had type r badges(don't they all), some wheels that were actually tasteful, and at least a cat back(prolly header as well from the way it sounded, but cat must have still been intact cause it wasn't hella loud).
i got the hit by a little when the light changed, didn't dump the clutch or anythign cause this car wheels hops like you wouldn't believe. i did ok in first gear, then grabbed second cleanly and suddenly the situation changed a bit. the integra caught traction and took off on me. it was bad enough that i didn't even bother to grab third, i just watched him walk on me.
i jsut threw it into 5th and cruised the rest of the way home.
oh well, i guess i will have to pick on an even lower class of citizen to get teh new car a win. anyoen know where there are any yugo's or daiwoo's that wanna race?
later
