After hearing, why did you get another Trans Am without a stick? for the 15th time this week, I need some new show stoppers.

My usual, "You don't know anything about drag racing?" used to be sufficient. What do you guys use?

Tell them you like to be able to eat cheeseburgers and get road head at the same time. I gave up on the "It's better for dragracing" response a long time ago, now I just say the most offensive or stupidest things I can think of.

There is nothing bad with having an automatic. Some people prefer auto and some prefer stick. I have been driving an auto for a while and would really like to get a stick. There are pros and cons for both. Just comes down to what you like. The people going "Oh! Its an auto" arent driving it so they can kiss you ****? I say go with the road head and cheeseburger line. Or something along those lines. It had a good start for a college student.

Nice Car Evan Even if it is an auto,lol

with the taste of rubber in their mouth....

Yea I get it from all my friends. "Dude your a ***** for getting a A4 manuals are so much more fun." Every person I meet who says that doenst drive a manual car everyday. Manuals can be fun but they get old quick when you drive them day in and day out in rush hour traffic.

I love how much **** everyone used to talk until I got my converter, then after I smacked them down in rapid succession: "Of course you won, launching an auto is so easy."

I just can't win, lol. I go from being a slow auto, to not being a man because I won.

gotta love the "i missed a shift" excuse m6'ers have. I just say, even if you hadn't missed a shift you still lost.

It's called sore losers broken 10 bolts, torched clutches, and still slower..

oh wait the m6'ers have 400whp. dyno-queens.

shrug it off. its pointless. A4's own the strip, m6's own other areas. I bought my fbody for one reason: Cost too much to make my vw a 11/low 12 second car without breaking it all the time. I bought the car to take to the strip,deflate tires, kick ***.

I accomplished my goal for this car. Took me 4 tries to get a 12.1 (not having a clue how to launch/etc). my bro has like hundreds of street/strip races, and i beat his best 1/8th and 1/4 mile on my first 4 runs. Lol. His best cost him a t56.

I didnt buy the fbody for quality interior, quality handling, quietness, etc. I bought it to kick *** at the strip and i was tired of shifting (city driving) for the past 5 cars.

What can i say? i love my car, and you can talk all the **** you want, but when the lights drop the bullshit stops..
