Default SAFE RACE

SO i was at my house with my buddy getting my drink on at like 9:00 last night ( friday night) when my other boy swings by in his 95-96?? oldsmobile cutlass. he thought he could take my car in a race. so i told him when i sober up i will race him for sure. waited till 2:00 before i did , to be absolutley sure i was sober. we hhit the main street , i ruined him. at one p oint we passed a NEON at 120 ( on the highway by the way) so i drop it in to third pass this neon then proceed to pass my buddy , the vtec kicked in i wind it up to 6500 rpm and slam it in to fourth. leaving my buddy about 20-30 cars behind me easily. so then he wanted to see if he would win at a redlight. ( by the way the highway was deserted, so if one of us crashed we would be killing ourselves not innocent people! SO i say fine and we drive till we find a nice redlight,. i smoked him ripped her up to 90 and had him about 6-7 cars behind me ! that felt good, especcially when u got a 12 pack on the race !

3rd gear in your car goes to 120 mph? Last time I went that fast, I was in 4th at about 5k rpm. What mods have you done to your car?

Are you sober as you're writing this? To get a civic in 3rd gear at 120 you really must have been drunk... or reading the kph. I dont believe this story at all

you burn off .015 Blood alcohol content per hour. and depending on how many you had 5 hours might not have been enough. I've seen people drink a ton and then sleep 8 hours and still get a DUI. You might feel sober but thats not always a good indicator.
