Civic vs Neon (Big Surprise)

First off, no offense to any Neon owners out there, but I think they're gross. Secondly, this story shows them in a good light, but it happened to my ex-boyfriend so that's why it's funny.

My ex drives a 2000 Civic EX. He hasn't done much to it except for an intake and exhaust. (He claims he has a DC header (is it plural: headers? I really don't know, this subject makes me feel inadequate) but I and all of our friends know he doesn't.) He pulls up next to a Neon that's all "riced" out. I mean it was HORRIBLY done. Anyway, my ex revs up his engine and so does the other driver. When the light turns green, he pulls out in front. But not for long. After a few "zip zip zip's," that TURBO Neon laid him out. I laughed when I found out.
