Idiot on the road

So last night I was in the camaro with my roommate. We were headed to walmart to pick up some groceries and stuff and we stopped at an intersection in the right lane. I look over and a 2007 green GT500 pulls up next to me. I then hear him shift it into neutral (automatic) and rev it a few times. Didn't exactly sound good, I'm not sure if he had a bad aftermarket exhaust or what. Anyways, I already have the clutch in and rev a few times in response. I had no intentions of racing, but clearly this guy wanted to be c*cky, and I could see his girlfriend in the passenger seat. I turned to my roommate "He must be trying to impress that chick, haha"

So the perpendicular traffic lane's light turns yellow and then red. I see the guy get ready to take off and think to myself "I hope he f*cks up somehow.". The light turns green and he FLOORS it.

Guess which light turned green? THE LEFT TURN ARROW. And the same left turn arrow comes on for the opposing traffic! So he burns through the intersection and the opposing car (trying to turn) lays on their horn. He swerves wildly to avoid them and then continues to floor it, without a doubt running away from all the traffic to hide his shame.

My roommate and I with the windows down are laughing our asses off! The light turns green for us and we roll off in the direction the GT500 went. Never saw him again though.

After all this I WISH I had my GoPro running right then!!!
Nothing against the GT500. Coulda been any nice car. It just proves that money can't buy you smarts.


P.S.: His girlfriend was ugly.
