[b][u]My First Sparrow Race[/u][/b]
I'm using Graverobber. The race starts. I floor it.
Nothing happens. Sparrows don't have pedals.
I used the super boost and beat everyone else. I'm in first.
I'm too busy pooping my pants with excitement to noticed the fact that I go into overdrive.
Sparrow explodes.
I respawn in last.
Continue in the race. I move up to fifth, then up to fourth. I do a flip across the finish line. My mom is so proud.
Realizes there's still one lap.
I go through the course again. I'm now in fourth place.
Last 100 yards before the finish. I use overdrive again.
Sparrow blows up just before the finish line.
I respawn and immediately boost.
I finish in fifth place.
Spaghetti falls out of my man-purse.
Feeling sad. Exotic chest engram pops up on the screen.
I remember that I used Three of Coins.

I go to the Tower. Run to the Cryptarch.
He glares me in the eyes as I hand him the engram.
Our hands touch when I give it to him.
My skin is crawling. His hands are so greasy.
He decrypts the engram. I look at my screen.
It's the Tarantella.
And it's 310.
He comes close and whispers in my ear, "You lucky boy, you."
I barf with excitement.
Foot slips, I land in my puddle of vomit.
Face first.
Cloak is soaking.
People are looking over.
I look retarded. I slowly get up.
And put on my Tarantella.
Realize that it was in my man-purse.
I now smell like vomit, shit, and spaghetti.
But I don't care.
I love it.
Hahaha awesome man.
I had a similar run, my first race was shameful, somehow I was pressing r2 to accelerate for half the race and I thought everyone was going so fast because they already had the new sparrows... Then I realize my stupidity and hit L2 :p still didn't finish the race in time.
Same thing, I see an exotic heavy engram pop up, figure it was because of 3oC. It turns into a 310 dragon breath :)
