It was a little more than 1/8th mile and i was quickly pulling and had very VERY poor traction at the start, spun through the whole first gear.

You just don't normally see flowers in a guy's car.... or at least I never have.

Again, it was my bad. I didn't realize the sentimental value they had.... moving on

Were you guys racing to the funeral?

By the way that GLI kept missing a gear didnt it? It held pretty good during the first few seconds of the 2nd pull and then dropped back. Im guessing he couldnt find his gear.

I have a kid around here in a matte black slammed Jetta revving at me and giving me the 'head shake' like 'No No No'. I was waiting at a red light last week and he was going the other way and got the green arrow to turn. I knew what was coming... yep, dropped clutch and took the left hander wot and almost hit the front of my car. Sounds like nothing but some noise makers on that car too. Judging by how he took off, I wouldnt even have to launch.

But I know these kids all too well, it will turn into a 'why are you being a douche and picking on me ? you have a turbo wahhh big man picking on a N/A jetta wahhh' type of thing once he gets destroyed' so I wont even bother.

I know he's friends with another friend of mine who has a swapped and turbo's 280. He is like god to that crowd. I am sure once he finds out what I did to that 280 he'll stop shaking his head.
