I hope you total your illegal car and get a new perspective on your waste of a life before you kill somebody doing your stupid street races. Go to a fucking track if you *need* to race. Fucking fool.

Wow... you are about as dumb as they come. 55mph and not wearing your seat belt? Are you one of those people who think that being ejected from the car is better than being in the car with a seat belt on?

He came up behind me and honked his horn as to says lets race, so I stepped on the gas and pulled away from him like he was standing still.

The next thing you know I am in Las Vegas and he catches up to me and we have a hot dog and fruit punch at the am pm and talk about how great the race was. He wanted to check out my ride cause he was shocked on how fast it was. Needless to say he was jealous on how mch cash he spent on the F40 cause my car was faster by at least 60 mph if not more, and the fact remains I still get more chicks then him with my ride. We are now good friends and do perscription drugs together on a weekly basis. He is a famous heart surgeon and I am a very powerfull CEO of a large paperclip company.

Nominated for best post ever.
It just needs a conveyor belt.....

You'd be wrong, it certainly does make it into the cylinders and into the oil, too.

Those yugo cabrolets are some bad ass cars, they were forced to discontinue them because they were deemed too powerful for any human.

You were sure nobody was around? At that rate of speed if someone came along you would not have the time to react, and even if you could you wouldn't be able to maintain control at that speed.

What kind of tires do you have on that rice? Are they speed rated up to 145mph, or were you taking your own life in your hands? You have a child you fucking idiot, how good of a daddy can you be with your brains splattered all over the highway.

Sober the F up and start acting like a man/father.

modern cars are mostly relatively easy to handle at speeds like 140.

Older cars got hairy due to sloppy steering and suspension setups.

I was at 145 in my VW VR6 behind a M3 and Corrado on the way to Moroso in a light rain. It was not much different than 80. Yes it would take longer to slow down but there was no entry on this road ahead of us and if we saw a car on the horizon we'd all have been able to stop way ahead of time.

Remember the Explorer issue Ford had with the Firestone tires? I did all the testing on the failed tires, including the international accidents. The only tire manufacturer that produces a product free of inherent manufacturing defects is Firestone, and it is only one model. No tire with more that 10k miles on it is truly safe over 70mph. That was Fords fault BTW, though Firestone got shafted with the responsibility.

Cars are not hard to drive in a straight line at high speed, but the time you have to react and the ability of the vehicle to handle evasive action is seriously diminished. He could have killed innocent people on the road, or himself.

Sorry baby zane, daddy didn't care about seeing you grow up.....

No replacement for displacement is how i remember it.

Yeah, it has many different phrases, but it is mostly uttered with conviction by morons, so it does not matter.

Don't get me wrong, I love displacement too, but that does not change the fact that there is no replacement for volumetric efficiency and displacement means jack squat.

Another zanejohnson thread of idiocy.

I'm not sure exactly what you're story is, but it seems sketchy at best to me.

These are the things I have learned from your post for the past couple years:

You have a car that can run with just about anything on the road. It's a 98 accord with a h22a motor swapped into it, that you seemingly know nothing about (as evidenced in this thread).

You also have a hotter wife (picture has been posted, not bad), nicer house (this one or this one?) that the mortgage is almost paid off on, and you have more money than 90% of AT (reference can be found in same thread as h22a motor).

Now you manage to do all of this while having a situation like this and working at a computer repair shop.

You also carry the cross of being a drug addict, you fancy yourself a recovering addict but that's just a bunch of bullshit. This thread which everyone knows about has thoes details, but also links to this thread where you admit to being full of shit.

So are you following me so far? It shouldn't be too hard unless you have a hard time at keeping your fabricated internet personas in order (common problem with rank amateurs like you). Ok since were on the same page, let's move on.

Now you claim to have a mortgage that is almost paid off, yet you just got your first credit card, in order to "build credit". I understand that mortgages were easy to get as a subprime borrower the past oh, 5 years. Though being 22 now, that would have made you rather close to being a minor at the time where you would even be let into a bank. Not to mention you must have been making big payments to pay off a mortgage in just a couple years. I guess that computer shop pays huge huh? Or it could be that your "parents are holding the mortgage", I'm not sure because you can't keep that straight.

At first you were an employee at a computer repair shop, now you're the owner (would you do business with this?) of a rapidly expanding computer repair shop. I hope you have a good accountant and hopefully a secretary, because your grammar is atrocious, math skills are non-existant and you simply can't keep anything straight.

I suppose I could keep going on, but why bother? You already know how much bullshit you spew here, so does the userbase as well as the moderators.
So I will summarize for you.

It boils down to you being a stereotypical post-teen, low self esteem, drug addled, sewer dwelling poser. I'd venture to guess you are some form of trust fund baby, or at least are blessed with semi-tolerant wealthy parents. Having wealthy parents is almost certainly in play here. How else do you explain an early 20s drug addicted entry level tech monkey who claims to own a house, has a history of moderately riced up cars and a stay-at-home wife with a child? I suppose that your claims of billing $300/day at "your" business is decent money in a trailer-park, but not so much for your gated community on a golf course.

So basically (if you actually exist in real life) you are an early 20s pill-popping scum bag, who knocked up his early 20s trailer-park queen girlfriend, has a decent history of drug arrests, work at a computer repair shop and get your kicks by posting complete bullshit on an internet forum.

On top of the fact that you can't keep any of your stories straight to save your life, you can't even form a sentence properly or spell for shit. Yet you run a successful business above the board, maintained a $500/week drug habit, took care of your daughter and constantly end up in jail. Right.

I don't have to tell you this, because you already know, you're just another bottom-feeding loser. Do you think your parents would continue to support you and your illegitimate "family" if they knew the shit you do, or even the endless bullshit you tell others? I'm sure that at this point in your life you were allowed to install a lock on the basement door, so that probably keeps them away.

At first I really felt for you when you posted about your drug problems and the steps you were taking on seeking help. Now I have no sympathy for you at all. You're just another shitbag drug-sucking child who thinks they can do it all. I hope for the worst for you.
