Merry Christmas boys and Gals

Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light,
Was a domestic V8 and no cops in sight,
I will try, I will try, I will try with this small motor,
To beat this damn Firebird, even with it's big blower,
As the light goes green and I pull like no joke,
The Firebird erupts in clouds of tire smoke,
Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin,
These are the names of my four VTEC pistons,
Racing ahead I'm the Star of the action,
But I know I'm in trouble when that V8 gets traction,
Grabbing second, I hear the RPM sing,
My mirror is blocked by my Shopping Kart Wing,
I now hear the roar, of that big monster gaining,
All I can do is keep that four-banger straining,
In a second, the shockwave hits with a blast, And my stickers go flying now, a thing of the past,
Don't bother with third, cause now it's too late,
Just try to act cool, like you can relate,
Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller,
The driver backs off just to give me a holler,
"You can't win them all," he says in fling,
"You may not win any," in that silly thing,
I smiled and revved as he pulled out of sight,
With my new mods tomorrow...it will be a better night

Not bad...and how true. That forced me to hunt down this one:

The TPI Owners' Song
To the music from "Deck the Halls"


Take apart your TPI
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
So often that you just could cry.
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
Trying to find that leaky ‘O' ring
Oh my back, oh my back. Oh! My back...
Makes you want to scrap the damned thing.
Oh! My aching back! My aching back!

Reinstall the cleaned injectors.
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
At least last year nobody wrecked her.
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
Should I bypass the EGR?
Oh my back, oh my back. Oh! My back...
What should I do now that I'm this far!
Oh! My aching back! My aching back!

Where the hell's that ‘F'ing gasket?
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
I hope it's in the damned parts basket.
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
New ‘O' rings for injectors and fuel lines-
Oh my back, oh my back. Oh! My back...
I hope the plenum fits better this time.
Oh! My aching back! My aching back!

When I'm done, it had better run good.
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
At least enough to beat Fords like it should.
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
If this doesn't work, I'll do it again.
Oh my back, oh my back. Oh! My back...
I'll get it running, but I just don't know when!
Oh! My aching back! My aching back!

Sing this song like a gay mechanic -
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
Don't worry, I'm straight. Just a joke - don't panic.
Oh! My aching back, my aching back...
When I'm done, I'll be beating up Fords,
Oh my back, oh my back. Oh! My back...
So I can get back to the ThirdGen Tech Boards.
Oh! My aching back! My aching back!

Vader

If i was skilled enough to sing without cussing, i would have one, but all i can say is "The MTV Best song of the year goes to.....drum role please....VADER!...Sorry vader was not able to accept the award due to being tied down the appreciative people he helps at...thirdgen.org"
