hopefully this isn't a repost:
One day a hick was filling up his Ford Pinto at the local gas station when a Ferrari stopped next to him to fill up it's tank.
"Golly gee mister, that there sher is a fancy automobeel." the hick said to the Ferrari owner.
"thanks. Yours is kind of a legend itself." the man answered.
"I don't reckon ya'd be up to a race would ya?" the hick said, peering inside the car.
The Ferrari owner laughed but thought, 'how often does this guy get to see a Ferrari in the backwaters?'
"why sure. why not? we'll start as soon as our cars are full"
After they topped off their tanks, they lined up side by side on the road. as soon as they counted to 3, they were off.
The hick was jamming on the gas as soon as they took off, but the Ferrari was barely at 1/3 throttle, calmly shifting giving the poor Pinto a fighting chance. But once the Italian got to third gear the owner though 'ok, enough is enough. time to leave him behind', so he mashed the accelerator to the floor and before he could blink the little Pinto was just a speck in the mirror.
Thinking he had won the Ferrari eased off mid-way through 4th and glanced in the mirror, only to see the Pinto screaming up from out of nowhere! Just as quickly as he caught up to the Italian, he passed him!
"Noway am i going to let this slack jawed yokel beat me!" he thought and shifted back into third and gunned it. It didn't take long to pass up the Pinto again, and this time he didn't let off until he was safely in 5th gear. But once again the Pinto passed him!
Again he downshifted and gunned it, and again passed the little Ford. This time he made sure he was in top gear at the end of his tach before letting off and glancing behind him. but again there was the Pinto coming up fast :!:
Thuroughly confused the Ferrari slammed on it's brakes and skidded to a stop hoping the Pinto would do the same. Sure enough it did, and out climbed a very frightened looking hick.
"Golly gee mister! that thing sure is fast. I ain't never gone so fast before!" he said, trying to catch his breath.
"just how the hell did you manage to keep up with me?" the confused Italian owner asked
" It was easy after my suspenders done got caught in yer door back at the gas station."
