Default Got another one.

Man... I'm getting good at this.

Scored another kill in my Chevy Astro work van.

Dodge Neon with a massive fart can that had to be angled funky to fit.


I wont go into the details unless someone requests. But I think I might cry if my super omni mega badass race car lost to a work van.

I think they call that angle the "gangsta" exhaust style and it is done on purpose, if you can believe it.

Although, I'm guessing it's a fad that started very much in the fashion you mention, and then some dumbass decided it looked badass, and everyone copied it on purpose.

Hey now, hey now. This is some serious business. That angle gives them that extra +5 whp AND it's aerodynamic. The only reason you beat that neon is because your Astro is more aerodynamic and is most likely boosted and on NAAASSS!!!

And anyway's, we all know the Chevy Astro ExpressVan is nothing to laugh at.

Yeah, I beat a Civic recently.

Same super omni mega fast race van, too.

For a living, I pretty much just drive around all day.

And I'm going to rename "gangsta" style to "*** who can't work a welder" style.

And PowershifterNC: I don't care.
