Red SSR gets on the highway next to me. Top down, grey haired guy driving. I downshift to third when I hear his engine rev. I pass him no problem (of course). The guy just smiles and keeps driving.

Very cool.

Okay, not the best kill, but I'd still drive one.

I'd drive one, but I wouldn't purchase it to do so. ******* Chevy should have made a truck to compete with the Dodge SRT10 and the Furd L. Not some wanna be car dressed up in a damn tube top. Where's my gavel damnit.

P.S. The other guys gotta RACE to be a kill. Not just rev.

How do you make an automatic rev up on the highway?

I'll give you a hint, it isn't by using neutral

There was one I saw a month or two ago with a new radix sitting under the hood. It wasn't bad but the money would have done more and looked better in a vette IMO.

Yeah, beer is something you acquire a taste for, but once you do, there's nothing like a cold one...

Vodka I hate Vodka

I do love me some whiskey though. As far as beer goes, and if I'm not broke, I love Foster's.
