Default maybe

maybe ill have some new "killed" or "got killed" stories for u guys this weekend. i put the cobra in the shop about an hour ago and they said it should be done tomorrow. my friend rob told me that theres a guy that i have to race when i get it fixed. its a new guy that came out to the street race last weekend that has a lil engine swap, turbo, and sprayed honda hatch. rob said while i was flagging the races he told that guy that he had a cobra that would race him and the honda guy said ok. maybe he will show up again this weekend.

These types of posts tend to get locked because they're speculative. They start out saying "so and so is going down" and most times it never does, hence why I said to be sure to post follow-up.

If it does get locked, you can always repost when it happens.

The point is, this is a worthless thread. Nothing has happened other than your car is in the shop for an alternator? I heard those are hard to change!

Maybe the guy has an extended warranty. Regardless, give him a break. This isn't tech.

do u always react to new members this way? ill make sure i dont judge the ls1tech members on this forum by things u say.

u could have easilly said that this forum has strict guidelines and we prohibit threads that dont contain a race that has already happened. would that have been so hard?

I posted the link, you chose not to read, don't get butt hurt. This is the street racing section, don't expect alot of politeness

On that note, sorry if you got offended, i'll play nice.
