oh....i have a story from the trip home.

First i had the kid in the parking lot ask me what kinda car it was...then on the way home a young couple driving a cavalier i think pulled up next to me at a light and asked me what it was. WHen i told them, the girl goes..."see, i told you" haha

THEN...theres this white Z28 in the same group of traffic as me for a while and he waits for me at a light and says "man that is a SWEET car!!" I said thanks. Then at the next light we wound up first next to eachother he repeats that he likes the car then says "wanna hit it off the light for fun?" i said, "what the hell, lets see how close i can stay". so we go and he just leaves me off the line, but i actually started to hang with him once i was in 2nd at about 8000rpm. he waited up a little and i said "NO TORQUE!!" He laughed and said, "but i still love that car"


Makes you feel good when a guy in car faster than yours likes your car anyway. Its not all about speed i guess, style must count for something.


(but remember, SIZE does matter...haha)

I was next to some loud @ss cavalir or saturn or something, every time he took off from the light he'd hit it and it sounded like an amplified coffee grinder. I got tired of the noise, so I redlined 2 and got way in front , out of hearing damage range.

thats funny, i pulled up next to a integra at a light on my way to work this morning. Of course riceboy had to rev it and start inching up. I left the light normally as he took off, didn't even want to waste my time. But of course the kiddie had to cut me off like he was hot **** or something. Next light we caught up again. He rolled his window down and apparently thought i raced him the last light. I told him I didn't even come close to trying to race he didn't belive me so when that light went green I nailed it. I must admit I had some tire spin in first and thought he might pull on me for a second. Once I hit second and third it was like he was standing still. Funnest thing I've done so far in the car.
