So I was with my friend in his '86 Camaro.. just a V6, nothing special, when we stop next to some ricers at a red light. My friend revs it a couple times but isn't actually set on racing. The light turns green and he takes off fast, but slows his acceleration. The ricer next to us sounds like a lawnmower as he flies by us.
That was funny in itself, but what's funnier is that soon 3-4 more ricers were flying by us left and right. They were all going at LEAST 90 (55mph), probably around 100 (62mph) on this boulevard. We sped up to 90-100 (55 - 62mph) ourselves as it really is a nice cruising speed for that road (which has a limit of 50 (30mph)). I thought we were going around the speed limit because all the cars around us were going the same speed, but I looked at the speedo and we were going about 100 (62mph). We looked behind us, and everyone BEHIND us was going the same speed too! Some old fart in a buick passed us going 110 (68mph)! An old fart wanted to join in on it!
I've never, ever seen anything like that in my life 🙂
