So I was heading out to grab some food and get lined up at a red light with a Challenge Bumble Bee. Google says it’s got more hp then my Tundra. Light turns green and he floors it, me being a guy has to accept this challenge. Light after light my truck pulls on him. I had a good laugh. The look on his face getting pulled on by a Toyota... priceless. Then I noticed the badge on his shirt sleeve, time to back off.

Good kill. Tundras do get off the line really fast for some reason. As good or better than the Dodge Hemi's I think. Most Tundras run about 15 to 17 second quarter miles. 2011 Challenger SE about 14.5 ish SRT as much as 2 seconds faster in the quarter. By most metrics he probably would have won in a longer stretch. Maybe the badge was a Security Guard badge?

It may have been the auto (me) to manual (him) advantage. Whatever the case it was fun. I haven’t had the chance for a true drag in awhile. Maybe security, maybe prison guard or popo on his way home. Once I noticed it I backed off.

Git 'em! Errr, excuse me. I meant to say street racing is wrong. Don't ever do that. When I had my Mustang I kept taunting a guy in a Camaro. Got up beside him and dropped a gear and jumped it at him repeatedly, looking to show him some tail lights. The passenger and I were laughing, till he pulled out a wallet with a badge and yelled, "Act like you've got some sense!". One of my friends was in a nearby town in his Mustang and an officer in a marked town police car pulled up beside him at a light and told him to go when the light turns green so he could see what it's got. Light turned green and the cop took off and my friend just drove normal. He said, "No way. When I smoke him he might get mad and pull me over." I told him he should have reached back and turned the bottles on and made it worth the risk. Some prison guards and security definitely have uniforms that look like police. I've had a prison guard pull up behind friends and I when stopped and complain about something that we did. Said someone threw an empty plastic Pepsi bottle at him, which was totally untrue. Think it flew out of the back of a friend's C10 at speed. He threatened to have it finger printed to find out who threw it. According to him, it never hit him or his car BTW. Eventually just left. He looked just like a state trooper to us. Prob 2 years later I sold my stock Mustang wheels and he came up to buy them. He didn't recognize me, but on closer inspection the dude was just a prison guard. Talked about his Boss Mustang and I told him to bring it over sometime. He did and he did a burnout and took off from my house. Also talked about street racing. Does whatever he wants, but uses his "close enough" uniform when it benefits him. Actually had to sorta collect the last $100 he owed me on the wheels, because I was nice enough to let him buy them 1 at a time (dumb move really) and the last wheel went for months with no contact. Went to his house and he got mad and tried to pull the officer card again, but he did come pay within a week and get the last wheel.
