Blew a Eclipse away!!!!

Ok It was 10:20 tonight and I had taken my dad's 69 Camaro out cause he has mine in Vermont (but getting it back in 2 weeks!!). Anyways...I had to go to the store to get my mom some stuff and so on my way home Im sitting at the redlight and no one around. All the sudden this ***** I hear is pulling up behind me and Im hoping he wants to race. Anyways he pulls up and gets in the lane beside me. All I thought was this is gonna be fun. And so I reved my engine but he didnt so I was thinking that he didnt wanna race. So all the sudden the light turns green and he hits it and he gets about half a car in front of me until I realize that he was racing me. So I punch it and about the time my car shifts out of 1st Im back next to him and after I get into 2nd a little Im already doing 50 mph in a 35 mph zone and he is a good car behind me so I just give it all I got and he gets smaller and smaller so I let off so I dont get a ticket and plus I didnt wanna be to hard on the 69. But the sad thing is he is selling it. But I have enjoyed it all my life and it is one FAST ride. Just gotta be nice to it.

No actually he needs to. I mean he has had it sence 69. And he is just ready for something new. So he is getting a new Z28 or SS.
