Default what do flashers on mean after a street race ?..... more

so i raced a souped up CRX on a nice stretch tonight on my way home. Of course he couldnt beat me , but he held up pretty well. Then i dropped the gas and let him fly by ( he almost killed himself when he locked the wheels at 70 mph right after).

Then he was in front of me for a nice part of the highway and he turned his flashers on. I was wondering if that meant something seeing as i gave him the thumbs up as he flew by.

Anyone know if this means anything, or he was just having problems with the car so he turned them on.
the car looked like he just came out of fast and the furious

usually means they won. maybe he got confused, a buzzing engine\exhaust can do that to you.

Default In that case he probably meant "good race". :)

If he comes up behind you and flips them on it means "lets race".

Na, "they won" from a CRX is usually the finger. :-/

Default dont takl about melting, i already miss my ski getaways...

this year i decided to buy a condo in the alps
( somewhere where there is skiing all year long above 2000m). Zermatt sounds nice.
So i decided to do this in steps:

1. buy lottery ticket
2. keep repeating 1 untill proper result is obtained

They also use them for "follow me to the street races , or whatever" usually "I win"
