I'm really surprised by the guy, even after you show up drag ready he still mouths off....what a tool. He should have at least told you to lay off the spray or something.

Great kill! It's the stories that go along with kills like this that make it worth telling. Also, props on keeping it classy the next day at work. Maybe he will learn from your example.

I just smile and nod my head waiting for the conversation to be over.
Stuff like this is why I don't like talking to people who aren't into cars.

You got to bring it to their level of understanding. I say something like, "you know John's Corvette (it's a c6, but that wouldn't mean anything to the dum dum), the blue one?" They say yes, then I say, "that is slow compared to my car."

Fortunately, I work with a buddy that works on his own stuff and knows a lot about cars. He knows way more about cars than I ever will. I've had people there try to tell me some of the craziest stuff, though.

Yep, had to use these kind of references before also.

Try again now. There for a little bit, the links were all jacked up, the words were actually the link. Not sure what happened. Looks to be fixed again.

The best kind of puppy punting

I've only seen ONE Subaru ever that impressed me. The owner is very cool but he told me it took alot of money into it to get it to where it is and they're not that easy to make this fast.

I wanna say it ran 11s @ 128.

Great job buddy, good way to stay humble and not stoop down to his level. I respect that in people b/c that is how I am.

I'm pretty sure you will never receive a call... especially after he plays around a bit and gets his *** handed to him.

The funny thing is... everyone compares how fast their car is to a Mustang GT. They're usually talking about the old 4.6 L mustangs that were slow as ****.

Yeah man, you should have seen it... I walked a "Mustang" in my blah, blah, blah car.

I will say though... the new 5.0s are nothing to take lightly. They're proving that over and over now.

A little bit of ricer bashin' going on. Hey at least he had a nice, decently quick newer car, right. He wasn't very smart to say it could take your car. How would you have felt if the dude had a bone stock 92 civic with one of those giant fart cans on it and some sort of oriental writing all over it? Oh and a ginormous wing on it. I hate those, but I would take that Sube or an Evo any day. He just needs to race you off-road.
