new found respect for the ladies....

Ok, so there I am in my 96 Civic EX, driving through my wonderful sexist world where only guys with faster cars can beat me. I mean, the day before, my near stock Civic beat a girl in a V-6 Eclipse. Pure driving skill of course right??? Ok, so I am at a almost deserted intersection at about 1130 at night when I hear this loud rumble, and a 98 Civic EX pulls up. Hmm, must have headers, intake blah blah blah. I roll down the window to see whats up and to my suprise, its a chica on the other side of the tint. All my male pride comes to the surface and I challenge her after finding out, like me, she only overhauled the exhaust. As I am thinking of how to console her at the end of the run, the light turns green and off we go. I pull about a length in front and stay there until dropping to third at about 50-55. Then she pulls even and overtakes me, beating me by about a length and a half in something over a 1/4 mile. So, after all that, I have to say, ladies, do your thing. n I was truly impressed and have that new found respect for girl drivers all of you prob find pretty sweet. Take care and drive fast.
