Think I know which one you're talking about. And have you seen the orange one with white stripes and mag wheels? Is it a v6 or v8? I saw it at heb the other day and when he started it up it sounded like a v8 but I didn't see the little vent on the bumper that the v8 have

No SS badges? I haven't seen it. I know another orange one a kid drives, He is 19ish. Parents bought for hit. Cockiest dude I ever seen in one. Right before I bought my G8. They got it in at the dealer,. They called me so I could look at it. It was the 3rd one they got in. I was one leave from Iraq. SO I shoot over to look at it. Me and another guy. SO we are looking at it. Salesman shows us some stuff etc etc. It still has all the wrap and crap on it. Just came off teh truck. Like 5 min ago. Well while he showing us stuff kid shows up. Young punk kid. COmes over says get the **** away from my car. WHo you think you are. I ws polite at first. I said hey man he just showing us cause we might buy one. He gets rude. You don't look like can afford it. My parents just paid 40k for this. I went off. Slammed the door. Went to go at him. Teh sales man is a friend grabbed me. Todl me he wasn't worth it.

Anyway I ened up buying the G8. Having all my work done. COme in to see wife one day and same kid in there. Running hsi mouth. How fast it is blah blah. How he hasn't been beat in Killeen by nothing. I just laughed. Again he gets smart. Oh ya what you got. I just laugh and walk off. I here the salesman he don't want to race me. He comes over. Ask hey I hear your car is slow. I will beat you blah blah. I finally tell him ok catch me when I leave. He does. Needless to say he lost bad. When I stopped up the road at the red light at Stan Sluaghter he came up beside me and I just started laughing. Told him his **** was slow. Two days later he is at the dealer. Telling them how he won. I walk in. Wife told me. I called him out in front everyone. Told him not only did i smash his car he is lucky I don't break his face for being such a ride little *****. His parents and all this time since they was with him. His dad got pissed. Come to find out he had wrecked it twice already in 6 months racing. Then find out later when they gave it back he ended up wrecking it again.

I didn't see any. He's at TAD sometimes. Oh and about the orange camaro you were talking about earlier, I remember him. He used to always park with the camaros right across from the challengers which is where I parked with my dad back when it was at target. And wow that kid seems like a total dick. I wish you would've decked him when you had the chance. Can't believe some of the kids in this area. Now don't get me wrong I know not all of them are like this, two of my friends got brand new cars cause their dad owns action pawn and uncle owns automax but they're far from dicks and one of them was behind me when I totaled my mustang and he helped me and everything. I'm so glad I haven't let all my cars get to my head either(I'm 16). However there are some kids I know that like to brag and put down cars which just annoys me especially when they start bragging about my truck and putting down cars that I personally really like. It's like don't put down stuff when you haven't put the time and effort into building a car up and some of them don't even have cars lmao

Wow that's crazy! I swear money is just pouring into this area now. If you don't mind me asking, what does your wife do at the chevy dealer that she gets to hear all the gossip?

She works up front. Does credit apps and helps put finance deals together. Enters every one into auto base. Inputs cars into teh system. ETC TEC. SHe is the sales secretary really. But she does a bunch other crap. She just moved though. She moved to a better position. So she will not be able to get all the latest and greatest out front..HAHA

She been there for about 6yrs now. She turned down a few positions before. Now she decided to take one. It was great though. Her working there saved me like 12k on my new silverado when I bought it. Plus got employing pricing plus military discount on my G8.

Oh before I bought the 5.0 I ran into a 5.0 convertible owner just as bad at the track. He had new plates on it. It was my first time seeing one. Walked over asked if I could check it out. He got all cocky. ya go ahead. Fastest thing here most likely. I just looked at him and laughed. He then asked what I was driving. Oh just that G8. Oh is that a V6. I replied yep 6.0L V6. Get beside me we find out if you are the fastest car here. (not saying I was) Just knew faster then his stock car. Anyway. We finally end up together. My first run of teh night. He has made 2-3 passes. All slow really. Mid 13's. SO we get up and I am in stage lane next to him. He revs his car. I laugh and let my beast rev. The look on his face was that look people get when the bit off more then they could chew. I was only running bolt ons and a 75 shot. Cut a 1.8 60ft spinning and ran a 12.1@117. He ran a 13.6@109 or so. I pulled over parked my car. He stops and ask what the **** is that thing again. Holy ****. HAHA. WHat was better I drove his car to a 13.2 that night..HAHA.
