fixed car!! and raced a impala ss

if you didn't know my car had sugar put in gas by sore loser.
got done doing repair$$
me and my wife heading to my brothers house
down eola by butterfield
i was taunting this guy w/his girlfrind
when we finally get to a light side by side
he revs and i smile. just then you guessed it my wife starts saying don't race w/ me in the car blah blah blah
next thing i know while i'm looking at her light turns green here squealing look left he is already crossing intersection
could not help myself smashed the gas pedal
lit up bad and still drove right by him at about 65-70 mph
i have got to give him credit though atleast his wife wasn't mad
first race since repairs didn't skip a beat

Glad to hear about getting the car fixed.
Sounds like you need to repair the wife mood now, hehe. Believe me I can feel your pain, at least with the wife thing!
So what did you do to fix the car?
Did you have to replace the injectors?
Obviously, empty the gas take.
Now, did you get a locking gas cap yet?

Well what ever you did to the car it seems to be working GREAT!

Good Luck!

Hey mean,
Glad to hear your all fixed up. I always have spent the $5 on a locking gas cap for the peace of mind. Eola is a fun road, I raced a mustang there a week ago . You should have smoked the Impala. They run low 15's stock. I dont have a wife, but with a woman in the car it does suck. Every time I am driving with mine I seem to line up against some ***** or mustang. Hell, I need to find a woman who WANTS me to race. Anyway good to hear the car is running well.
