RE: dreams I'll never see
LOL nice story Word...
I haven't had any real comments yet. Interestingly I was on the highway yesterday for a second and there was this convertable firebird getting on with 3 youngish females in it and the one in the passenger seat was waving and checking out the car. I had to do like a double take.
As far as negative havent really got any yet but I'm always getting people trying to race, reving on me, turbos blowing their BOVs off, etc if you want to consider that negative. To me that means they take the car as a threat regardless how much sh*t people may want to talk.
It's funny though, I've had more POS cars actually try to race me than actual fast cars.

Word look at my car...you think you have it bad? I like my car and all but I always here skittle this or ricer that...on a daily basis, what even worse is Ive got ppl claiming they have granny cars or too big to get out of their own way trucks claimin that they can take my car...Even worse a truck well known to do 16s claimin he does 13.8s in a 1/4 mile (fullsize extended cab z71 325 CI Chevy Longbed) wont even take me up on a race...he now knows that im goin turbo and claims Im goin to need it against his big bad truck when I get done w/ it. I used to get so steamed about it but now I could care less he obviously bought the truck to overshadow his dwarfed (member) LMAO Maybe he thinks it will grow with his bull**** track times....LOL

As far as the "ask what they drive" theory goes, there is no better way to smack a smack talking punk. If the punk had a faster car then you, it might not work so good, but it's pretty easy most of the time to tell who is for real and who is just a mouth.
About six months ago, before I traded it in on my Neon, I had a ,97 Mustang Cobra (I know, it's a wierd trade, I'll explain later, LOL). I was hangin' with some buddies outside of a local resturaunt when some punk who doesn't know how to wear his ball cap properly walks over and starts looking at my car. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to him as people looked at that car a lot. I heard the comment : Punk: "Mustang huh? Who's car?" Me:"Mine." Punk:"Looks cool, too bad they are slower than #@!$." Me: "Excuse me?" Punk: "They look cool, but they are slower than !@#$." Me: "Ok, see ya." He shrugged and walked away. My buddies kinda rolled thier eyes and laughed. We went back to talking. A couple of seconds later the punk pulls up in a Pinto. A PINTO!!! It had multiple different colors on the various body panels, dents, expensive rims, a fart can exhaust, and the best part, a hood scoop rivited on. My buddies are laughing thier asses off and I hear "Wanna run?" Now, I was actually giving the kid the benifit of the doubt here. I am fully aware that the 2.3 found in those cars has been used in various applications as a race motor with relatively good results. I know there are turbo upgrades and the like available for them. I try not to be too judgemental as I know sometimes cars are a "work in progress". Heck, I have a buddy with a 77 Maverick that's ugly as hell, but if you're smart you won't mess with it, oh hell no! Anyway, bottom line was I agreed to race the guy if he would put down $50. He agreed, so I figured if he was backing his mouth with dough, mabe he actually had something going under the hood. We went down to a well known streatch of flat, straight road. We raced from a stop. By the time I got to 3rd gear, his headlights were so far behind me that I just stopped and pulled over. He pulled it behind me. "What the hell did you do to that thing?!" "Nothing, it's stock except for the exhaust." "Bull!@#$. Let's see under the hood." So I opened the hood. Just as I promised, bone stock. A 320 HP aluminum 4.6L 32V SVT engine. And you know what I hear? "Stock my ***, you have a V8 in there!" What a dumn ***! It says Cobra in big bold letters right on the rear bumper! Good grief, some people are so stupid! To the kids credit, he did pay up on his bet.
