V6 89 Firebird vs. Eagle Talon

Well, I see people posting their street racing stories so I will share one... I was just cruising around 40 mph and this Talon just comes out of nowhere and revs his engine (fart can of course) so we just take off and I fly by him and just to be a smart ***, I wave good by to him and he got all pissed...Im not bragging about being fast cuz Im not...All I got is the V6 with a Flowmaster 40 Series Dual Exhaust.

he did say "we just took off", so maybe it was a race and he actually pulled ahead? ive seen N/A Talons pull 17s and 18s at Cecil so a V6 beating one isnt TOTALLY out of the question

i could be wrong though, well have to wait for the original poster to verify what happened

I took all the pics I could of the F-Bodies and muscle cars at the shows. There are mostly all imports there though. But I tried.

How can you have the vocabulary to use the word "snide" but still spell "your" as "ur"? Is your "y" key broken?

Because the whole entire point of short hand is lost if it's more difficult to read, that's why.

I'm really trying to drop this and not go off topic, but you're giving me too much material. "ur" is not an acronym. Sigh, anyway, nice job on whatever happened in your post.
