Smoked my wife's Lexus SC400...

Well, I have to say it was funny as hell when we both got to the light, and I rolled down the window. I had a feeling that it would be an easy success, and boy was I right. Off the line and all the way to 50 mph, I was leaving her. It was awesome! Then when we got home, she didn't even bring it up once. Funny!

The only problem with this is now she wants to S/C her SC400. Uh oh! But, she probably would have eventually taken me at the top end, but we couldn't go that far on this small road.

Haha.. My wife and I do that all of the time in our 4Runner and my Tacoma. BTW, my Tacoma doesn't beat the Runner by much. It really suprised me..

I can see the headline now

Local married couple arrested in Maryville, TN for drag-racing. The husband was in a modded out, supercharged, half-bumper cut off 4Runner, while the wife drove a stock Lexus. Witnesses say that the incident started by the husband rolling down the window and mooning his wife and threatening to take away her charge cards if she didn't "floor it when the light turned green." After the ensuing smoke and squealing tires, the 4Runner took the Lexus in the quarter-mile and the husband proceeded to exit his automobile and dance around doing an electric-slide victory dance. The wife had no comment.

My 4runner is far from stock for those that didn't look. My wife's SC if stock. It was just fun to hear her saying for weeks that hers was faster, and then I smoked her.

I like 2WD right after rain, coming down to the street my school is on, I can powerslide into the right hand corner, very fun to have a friend later that day talk about a crazy guy in a black truck sliding through the corner.

*Note: I only do this when there are no cars to the inside lane (double right hander), and only at speeds of 20mph or less. I may be stupid from time to time, but I don't risk other people's cars/bodies.
