Default Son of the bitch.

Pissed off.

Went to the track last night in a honda accord,....since my car's down for the time being.

Reason for being pissed besides that?

When we left,...I ended up watching about 15 races take place between 4 cobra's all at the same time. I was trailering them as best I could but,....they obviously where pulling away.

I was kicking myself for not haveing my car. The cars were pulling on me but, not super hard. They would start from 10mph or as high as 60mph. Either way, I was on there bumper for the start of every race.

Later, we all happened to pull over at a gas station. One was a 97 cobra with a 03 cobra powerplant. Says he layed down 480 to the wheels. And it was a vert, so I was really pissed that I didn't have my car, since it seemed like he thought it was the real deal.

I belive there was also a procharged 03 vert(black) cobra, everyone says it makes 6 something to the wheels. Again, I wish I had my car,...on spray.

Another time I guess.

Ford bastards had some fun though.

lol. I was keeping within 50 yards or so of them. They were way faster but, I just wasn't impressed on how these cars were pulling on me. We were like "thats it?!"

The accord is bone stock,...with a slipping tranny. POS

Just pissed we missed out on another race. Seems like I see all these cars running around town when my car is broke. Figures.

To top it, my cousin broke his car at the Z06 at te starting line last nite. Another Diff.

seems as though every time im in my beater something comes strolling by that would either be a race of a life time or something worth getting into a little scuffle with. i cant count how many times im in my beater rolling down the a/c expressway when all of a sudden an exotic comes flying by...it sickens me. last week alone...a murcialago on the way to a/c and a srt-10 viper on the way home..

I think you are stretching the capabilities of the accord a bit..."not being pulled very hard" by a 480/600 rwhp Cobra....hrmmm...

I'm not exactly retarded chief. I can tell when a car is on the throttle. They were racing without a doubt. My grandmother would have noticed.

They raced atleast up to 140mph. Atleast.

The accord was no competition for them, whatsoever. However, I was the only OTHER car there without a V8,..and or a blower in that regard.

Not trying to say I had a chance at all.

Infact I was saying I wish I had "MY" car there,

...cause I would have rocked them all similtaniously(or however you spell it, dammit).

Though he's pretty cool. He lets me drive it at speeds like 185mph. WIth him rideing shotgun. No questions asked.
