"Drying out the brakes, officer"

This story happens in ******. I have an old Dodge with a 318 that can
power brake really good, but is a dog off the line. I bought and paid
for it myself too. This little rich guy at school had his dad buy him
a cherried out red 1957 truck. Lowered, big tires, 327, 4 speed, the
works. Well, leaving the parking lot everyday, the drain ditches flooded
and he spins the hell out of his tires, showing off.
One day, leaving, he is right behind me and shouting something about a POS Dodge.
I cup my hand to my ear, and slowly apply pressure to the gas. He rolls down
the window and leans out just in time to catch a mouthful of molten rubber and
oil. I lay into the pedal harder and now I can't even see his truck. I play
with the power, revving it and keeping them spinning and I can barely see
in front or behind me. I slowly let off and roll out of my smoke screen onto the
main street to see our local law. He never did buy the "Just drying out the
brakes, officer!!" line.
