Okay get this, you know my car is a real piece right? (mid 18s - high 18s quarter mile [91' mercury capri pushin like 95HP]) lol.... well I pull up next to this kid and he's got his seat ALL THE WAY DOWN and he's grabbin' the steering wheel with one hand all the way down there like a real pimp....lol all this in his teal / greenish pimpscort from the ealier 90's and he's got the SWEET chromed out HUBCAPS...bahahha.... and uh, i think he even *gasp* debadged his car....well mine is too but only because it fell off, lol. Anyway, we're stopped at this light and i pull up on the white line but i dont know what the hell he was doing I don't THINK it was a stickshift because I dont know it was weird we were on a level street, i mean LEVEL, and his car was rolling back- lmfao. Maybe he hit reverse when he put it in nutral or something- haha- or maybe it was a true stick who knows (if it was, more points for me because i'm a auto). Anyways it looks like he's having trouble in his lane because he's getting pissed at me or his car or he was just feeling the fury of a race, lol. :confused: So the light turns green and I launch and barly hear my tires squeal (i'm lucky if i pull off a 2 inch spin :p) And i'm about 1/2 car length ahead then all of a sudden his gear is pulling and he's a 1/2 length ahead of me but he's already in second while i'm still pulling in first and the LIFT kicks in on my DOHC engine ;) at around 4K and tops of around 6.5k redline and I man-shift it to second and pull car on him and he floats in and out about at my bumper range in his lane trying to keep up and I shut down at 53 (in a 45 zone) and let him fly by so I can make my turn that's coming up.

Man.... i'm telling you, I do NOT win cars that often, if ever, in my car and it's just made me so thrilled that I shut it down and esp. with a guy like that driving it. :p :p :sigh: good times, good times. :)

There was a Mistubishi Galant out on 128 last night, and he thought he was a rally car or something - because he had these two GIGANTIC fog lights mounted on his hood. And he had some bodywork done to accomidate them, so it looked like the hood had an enormous snout. I pulled up next to him to see if the car was for real, he started moving towards the right side of the hiway, and exited - too bad, I wanted to laugh some more :D

I have an Green/Teal Escort GT but I didn't order the GHetto kit, that's why mine is still fairly quick to drive.

I seen a few of these too, just don't understand why someone would spend $50.00 in hubcaps on $100.00 car???

84 Mercury Capri 4 cylinder auto with the big ass bubble hatch back. That car was the worst POS that I have ever owned. I was so raped when I bought that thing with my highschool graduation money back in 89.

I can remember this one time when I was next to a school bus at a red light..... I got smoked. :eek:

After having the car for a little over a year, I sold it for $200. $200 for a car that I paid $3200 for... I never needed to learn that lesson again.

It's even better when the japanese characters are sitting SIDEWAYS (like they had no clue which way was up)! I saw one kid running around town in a saturn with large letters diagonally across his hood like this:

SATRUN


I am not joking :Q

Gotta love those plastichrome hubcaps.

There's some car around here that is completely decked out. I mean it's bling bling!!!!!

He's got the plastichrome windshield wipers, some sweet plastichrome hubcaps, a huge wing on the back, and some kind of fake carbon fiber decal that covers the whole hood. LED windshield things too :Q What I wouldn't give to drive that car
