AWESOME! I just read this entire thread. it is quite amazing. I am at work so I almost got in trouble for laughing out loud at some of the posts. I don't really have too many embarrassment moments. I guess one would be... I pulled up to a stop light with my girlfriend in the car. I was fairly new driver (1-2 months) and had never really street raced before. Well a 96 celica pulls next to me and starts revving his engine and wanting to race. Well, the sun was right in my eyes so i am like squinting to see the light and was still wondering if I should or not. The light turns green and he takes off, i drop the clutch in at 2k and my car just gasps and doesn't have any power. i then proceed to shift into 2nd at 4k and actually start to catch up... i felt like such an idiot... Later on I found out that he is a complete idiot and thought he had turbo on his car because it made a constant "pfff" high pitched sound. oh well. LONG LIVE THIS POST!
