Red face wana be ricers

ok this is a funny story so here goes...im on my way into work about 20 minutes ago on 76 merging onto 676/central phila exit when i look in my rearview and see a newer 4 door red cavalier LS and it appeared that the door was vertically opened?!?! so i say wtf and slow down to see this 17-18 year old kid messing with an s2000, all i saw was a 2 or 3 gauge pillar with gauges and the vertical doors, no body kit or rims (he had the spare "blackies" i think you call them?) so the s2000 blows by the cavalier and i slow enough to let the cavalier pass while im laughing at them the whole time and the cavalier driver gives me a look like , "dont mess with me i have an ecotec(or whatever engine is in there)" so i just laugh harder and proceed to pull in behind him and ride his *** the whole time i see him hunching forward mashing the gas not going ANYWHERE fast so i get in the other lane and just blow by him laughing to make sure he knows that his car isnt even worthy of a v6 explorer lol but yea it was just a funny thing to see these kids thinking cause they have vertical doors and nothing else that their car is fastr or something??? anyone know this kid i want to laugh at him again hahahha
later

Didn't you know? Vertical doors are more aerodynamic... compared to having your regular doors open while the car's moving.

I wouldn't mind having vert doors on the Camaro though, so that I could actually GET OUT OF THE CAR in parking lots. I hate people who can't park.

w/ our huge doors.....yeah that would be nice... I let this girl sit in my car once.....and, uh....no. Never again. She opened the door to get in and dinged a minivan sitting next to me. It didn't hurt mine too much but it left a nice white mark on my door.. Right where there would be a pinch weld type thing...

If you ever get stuck in a tight jam. . .exit through the T-tops. I've done it before. Pulled a Dukes of Hazards.

Lambos on a Cavi? Don't Lambos cost over 1K?

Lambos can be had relativey cheaply. All you do is swap the stock hinge with a new hydrolic hinge that lifts instead of expands.

actually, we should encourage more ricers to drive down the road with their lambo doors open (preferably at a high rate of speed, with no one else around, of course), maybe they'll fall out and die, then there will be a few less retards to cloud the gene pool.....
