Talking Killed an Escort today

Hehehehe couple kids in an escort pull up beside the kia and decide to run me from a light. Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig mistake on thier part.. LMAO .. dual overhead cams. Hahahahaha I'm not affraid to blow it up so I dont shift until I cant stand the noise of the chainsaw in the glove compartment. Needless to say I layed the smackdown on them by a good 2.5 cars lengths fr the first 100 ft or so and then ran away from them. Might have a 17 sec 1/4 in it? Anyone ever take a kia to the track? LOL

I love beater war stories.

As crazy as it is to say, my Metro has a few kills under it's belt. It does have the 'upgraded' 4 cylinder after all.

I like the time I pulled up to a light in my clapped out '91 geo Prizm (at 220k mi) and some ricer'd 300ZX pulled up, he goes tearing off.... next light I pulled up tell him to roll down the window & so he does, I tell him.... "Wow, that thing's fast! It just beat a $50 POS!"
