Beat a pizza guy...

Ok its about 10:00pm and i am on my way to pick up my roommate from work. As i was walking out to my car i see the pizza guy go by in a civic 2dr, fart pipe and mad tyte subs yo. Any way i just kind of shook my head and went on. Any way its like 20 degrees and the pavement has lost alot of its grip (not ice, just way slick and cold) and i has haveing fun with it just kind of gooseing it to slide a bit. Anyway i am coming up to a light and as i roll to the line it goes green. About this time the white civic pizza guy rolls up and guns it. So just to **** him off i slamm it. Both tires are spinning (dispite lack of posi) and spun through 1st and into second (really quite strange) with him looseing ground. Finnaly got traction and he went buh bye. Not much of a story just kinda sad.

Both tires are spinning despite lack of posi? howd ya do that?

anyways....i used to be a pizza guy for domino's and believe it or not that job funded a large part of my car. (i just worked there during the school year) where i go to school there is 4 colleges in the immediate area, and its a densely populated area to start with. I used to make about 300 bucks a week on the average, and i was only working 20-25 hours a week. thats not bad for a part time job.

anyways pizza people are usually nuts, i know i was, cause the faster you go, the more deliveries you get, the more money you make lol. and we hook up the cops with food, so they dont bother us while we were working. And yes....when i first bought the black camaro, i delivered pizza in it....but it was bone stock with the 305tbi then hehe. that was still a badass pizza vehicle lol ok im done

383 all it takes is an equal lack of traction on both sides. So with the tube sand sitting in the back towards the passengers side and some slick pavement it happens quite easily. Heck i started going sideways this afternoon when i was leaving the apartment and hit some gravel/salt.

regardless of traction you shouldnt be able to spin both tires without a posi or LS diff. you dont need to spin both tires to get sideways either though, one is enough to make it let go. If you do a burnout on pavement, where traction is equal between both sides, your still only going to spin one tire. thats just how an open differential works. not trying to a de an a s s or anything, just doesnt sound right to me

Do you have anymore lines besides "good kill" j/k. Civics seem to be a popular choice for Pizza delivery vehicles. Perhaps the Civic was late in delivering a pizza and could not afford to be late again. All delivery vehicles drive fast. I once had two mail vans blow by me going like 60 in a 40. Those guys make a living on delivering stuff quickly.

I'm going to save the "good kill" line on this one. You might of well as thrown a keg of dynomite in a fish tank - not really much of kill there. Oh well, a kills a kill - am I right?.

We've got a crew of pizza guys like that around here too in a town about 20 miles down the road. (Morton in case any central IL people are readin) I've never raced any of them, don't know if they're "Rcrs" of Legit Import guys or not. By the look of it though... mostly high school kids who took a movie too seriously.

i used to get placed quick in the camaro....but not as fast as i did with my truck......yes folks i delivered pizza for 3 months in a 1989 1ton gmc sierra extended cab long box with a 454 and th400 tranny. its beat up and silver, and it hauls ***. delivering pizza fast isnt about being faster than other cars most times....its about knowing where to go, and having a vehicle that can force people out of your way hehehe. all the guys i worked with were almost as crazy as i am too.....man that was a fun job for awhile.

I do the same and I am almost sure I don't have a clutch type LSD ( the only type found stock in my year of rx7)

but both tires spin when I dump the clutch

Done a few burnouts were i did get two rubber marks. It was on a flat with two people in it, but most of the time it is a one wheel wonder (especially in the snow). Anyway doesn't matter much. Point was i wasn't hooking up at all and still whomped on this guy.

oh ya....when i was the friendly domino's guy....if ya didnt tip me, you got a smoke show at the end of your driveway...everytime lol. that was before the locker though

and guys, if you ever feel the need to call the pizza place and complain about the pizza guy...dont bother...they just laugh at you when they hang up the phone. People used to complain about me being a dick to them after they didnt tip me, and when i got back to the store the manager and I would have a good laugh about it hehe :rockon:
