Ok - now if you are really old - you may have done a Chinese Fire Drill, For the uninformed - the term is used to describe a prank (also known as red-light green-light) performed by a vehicle's occupants when stopped at a traffic light, especially when there is a need to swap drivers or fetch something from the trunk. Before the light changes to green, each occupant gets out, runs around the vehicle, and gets back inside, but not necessarily in their original seats. If one of the participants lags, the others may drive off without him or her.
We used to do them out on country roads in this area, especially near the homes of some girls we were trying to impress with our commotion. My brother FeastBeast2 had just gotten his first car - an old Ford with stick shift, and we had a blast doing "wild stuff" like this!
