I am taking in nice and slow, am about to shift out of 1st and the kid starts accelerating he pushes it up at least 60mph, so how I have wonderful choice between stomping on the gas and getting rear ended. So am stomping the gas and take it <6k rpms and freaking out my date, so I don't' get hit by these idiot kids. Then latter at a stop light they roll past with a big grins on there face and are laughing.
