I've done plenty of dumb stuff. Luckily nothing bad happened. You learn from your mistakes I guess.

The weird thing is the wife and I never spoke of it. Never. The car was dead silent for 20 miles to the hotel. 5 kids in complete silence and disbelief.
The other night after we went to have dinner together I'm driving the Expi home and I take off from a light in a similar situation but not where I have to beat somebody or anything. I look over at her and say "This thing is REALLY slow." She says it goes pretty fast once it gets moving. Duh.

I call it "The Land Yacht"
When we test drove it she said "What do you think?"
I said "It handles like a block of wood. But if its what you want, I just wanna make you happy."

My cousins have one of those. Riding in those things is freaky. Plus they're not safe at all. I saw one at the salvage yard once, and the font seats were pushed several rows back.

We used to have a big green GMC conversion van. That thing was a piece of crap.

they really dont even look like the same car man!
I never told y'all this story from the most recent Sea World trip...
We left that night when the park closed so as you can imagine traffic was bad. We were on basically the only freeway from the park to get back toward San Antonio. I had to make a left turn and then presumably onto the onramp of the expressway and back to the hotel. So as I round the corner I don't see an on ramp but another stop light. And I'm in a left turn only lane. I slow down and try to move into the lane to the right of me which would take me a few 100 yards straight and then directly onto the freeway on ramp. The lane I was in would take me 2 miles back down the road only to have to backtrack back again. So when it becomes obvious that with my blinker on that no one is gonna let me in the right lane. So I'm starting to get pissed. I don't blame them. I blame the engineer that came up with this stupid design. So I slowly roll up to the light, all seven of us in the Expi. The light changes to green. I'm still rolling and without hesitation I PUNCH IT. I'm gonna beat that front car no matter what. I've sold out. If I don't make it I'm ****ed. There is no continuation of the pavement in front of me. Its a curb! I have to make it. And not only that I have to clear his bumper of it'd be like Carl Edwards at Talladega but in a SUV holding 7 people. I have to make it. The guy to the right cuts me no slack. None at all. In fact I think he's trying to wreck me. The curb gets closer, I've got to make my move. It's all or nothing now. My wife is screaming her head off. WTF ARE YOU DOING!!! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL US!!!!
I don't listen. It's too late to try to stop now. The SUV would never slow down in time. **** I NEED MORE POWER!!! WHERE'S MY BOOST!!!
Well I dart to the right and cut in front of the guy. I cleared his bumper. But I put the drivers side tires up on the curb before I did and we caught a little two wheel action in a 3 ton rollover machine. I kept punching it and never looked back. I made sure none of those SOB's could catch up to me to even get a glimpse of my plates. My wife didn't speak to me the rest of the night. I think she almost had a coronary.
I completely ****ed up. I should NEVER have done that. I would not do it again. I just snapped. I had been at that **** amusement park and didn't want to wait in anymore lines. I willed that beast over that curb and in front of all those cars.
What a dumb ***.
