was out on the freeway the other day when this car with full body kit, muffler, blue headlights, and ahuge wing came up next to me and started reving it.... could tell it was auto cause the 2 second delay from when he hit the gas and then the tranny downshifted.


sad thing was everytime he downshifted it wasnīt like he was accel any faster...


oh well I just put it in 4th nice and calm like and gave it about 3 /4 gas and he just more or less was moving behind me

donīt know what kind of car it was only know it was from cali

Well he had about 500 bull power.

Hey, that's what we should start using for these type of cars. The level of clownishness or riceyness should be measured in Brake Bull Power. Brake because you have to hit your brakes before they can "beat" you. If it's several different colors and wrecked or damaged in some way, yet it still has the same goofy, expensive useless mods...it will be measured in Gross Bull Power. Because its disgusting. Hey, I'm on a roll here.

Hey, RX7speed...I was thinking that your engine blew up...or was that your Toyota? I keep thinking someone lost an engine not too long back and it wasn't a Chevy or Pontiac.

It may sound strange, but I actually like alot of the older Imports. I would have loved a car like that Celica. Of course, I can face the fact that it's never going to be "that" fast. So I'm kind of an Import guy too. I'm just not into the new stuff. And as far Wankels...I'm lost there. I know nothing. I'll have to find one someday and look it over. Try to figure out what kind of bizarre animal I'm looking at. And how it works.

Yeah, what the hell is it about those old cars like that? Is it an overactive imagination? Is it actual love for the car? Is it just the fumes leaking through the floor getting you high?
I don't know.
All I do know is if you see me in, say, a Subaru like I used to have, I'll have a stupid grin on my face. And that could be for many reasons too. The fact that you can beat the hell out of it and it's still there, the fact that if you so liked, you could avoid that hairpin curve(since you don't have power steering) by simply cutting through it...and the fact that you can give people ulcers in bad weather. You in the left lane, them in the right in a vehicle that could blow by yours like you're parked...on dry terrain. And BANG, you smoke them horribly while they're spinning and getting sideways. Now that's fun. Beat 3 newer 350 trucks from traffic lights on a rainy day. Then that damn 4x4 pulled on me.
