got my first win

had the car for about a week. leaving my apt and i see my friend drive by in his 2000 civic si. not much done to it. fart can and sts. i think that is about it. so i go and catch up with him, and we do a couple races froma roll. still getting used to driving the car so i lost all of those. kept putting it in 4th instead of third. but we get to a stoplight and nod at each other. light turns green and i babied it thru first and a little in second ( bad wheel hop). we went up to 60 and i had him by atleast a car length. just wanted to let everyone know about my first kill in the new car. it is always a good one.

Good kill man, though as said before I don't know how you lost to a 2000 Si from a roll in an SS/SC.
