    So there I was....the wife and I had just picked up our 16 month old daughter up from the "Kid's Depot" (daycare). I see a 2004'ish Mustang GT pull up beside me. We are on E. Palomar (for those locally). It's two 18-20 yr old kids looking over and oogling at the car. They give their car a couple of throttle blips to see if I would play along. We're only going 25 mph so I drop it in first and hammer it until it shifts to second...they have big smiles! We line up at the next light...no one around...and we both launch. By the time I hit third gear and shut her down they were 7-8 car lengths behind. I slow down and they pull up beside me giving me jubilant thumbs ups....I roll down the back window...they see my 16 month old waving at them and their jaws dropped. I wife just looks at me, rolls her eyes and says "nice"!

    Let me be the first to congratulate Rick on getting his illegal & impromptu-street-race cherry broken.

    ... my boy's not a virgin anymore... :cry:

    You're just jealous that at 16 months, Rick's daughter has more street fortitude than you!

    Yo Rick. Nice kill my man...I'm REALLY glad you didn't take it deeper into third with your little one in the back. I have been 'tempted' at least 4 times in the year of ownership and stifled it each time. Your wife must have nerves of steel (even with your driving skills) as mine would be going apeshit (even though I can drive). But, up through second isn't anything that I wouldn't do when merging on to a freeway. 7-8 cars by 3rd gear? That's what's called an ass-whoopin'.....niiice.

    and has won as many races as you have?

    By the way, just a heads up, it's only women that do the month thing until the kid is in kindergarten. Once they have their first birthday it goes by 1/2 years...

    Mains, since I don't see any smileys, LOL's, or haha's I can only assume you disapprove. I don't ever street race. There was no one around anywhere. It was a quick display of acceleration up to 65 or 70 mph. I give it a little WOT all the time with her and my wife in the car...she claps and says "awwiiight". Please, no moral police! :beer:

    Fo' Sho! Even when you're an awesome driver..that other driver could have clipped your ass-end sending you in a spin. Just a possibility however small.

    Sweet.. nice takedown... and passing down that need for speed addiction to the next generation! :cheers: All of us survived growing up in the back of 4800 lb cars with 400 hp, no seatbelts, no airbags, no child seats, marginal brakes, zero handling, and the worst thing that happened was we wanted another ride in the car.

    My wife is scared of my car and she would be pretty damn upset if I even tried to race someone with her let alone my son in the car.
