Found myself next to a kid in a riced-out prelude yesterday.
My car is ULTRA slow, but thanks to a crafty 2.5" mandrel bent, mufflerless, turbo-back exhaust, it sounds pretty mean, especially just coasting up to a stop and the turbo winds down (weeeeoooooooooo)
So the kid hears this and gets all 'in my face' --well, as much as you can being in two seperate vehicles.
The road was wet from a piss-ant rain cloud that had quickly passed over.
This should be funny.
I whiz my turbo at him a couple times and he sinks down into his cheap racing seat. Hardly anything more in sight than a ball cap and a set of white knuckles death-gripping the top of the steering wheel in this classic ricer pose.
This should be really funny!
The don't walk light starts to flash in the opposite direction and the amber lights up.
I hold a steady 5000ish rpm and slide into 2nd gear.
The light turns green and he's instantly spinning the crap out of his wheels, barely moving thanks to them being on the thick white painted crosswalk line.
I marvel as he creeps forward bouncing violently off the rev limiter.
Wow, this guy is serious!
I dumped the clutch and the syncro squirts forward on the flywheel inertia, --almost stalling, and puttered away at 800rpm billowing smoke.
Perfect.
I was three or four carlengths on the other side of the intersection when he finally emerged from the cloud.
Good God what a newbie.
I just shook my head at the eyes peeking out from between the hat brim and the windowsill as he humbly passed by.
what a tard trying to race fwd in the rain...
it was truly the most rediculous thing I'd seen in quite a while.
Another classic smoke Tale from Dr Diesel,well done :lol:
Iloved the story, and I love that cup too, Doc! :lol:
Reminds me of a good story that happened to me a few years ago... I had borrowed my brothers car (after I smashed my seat toledo TDI up) a subaru trendy (I know itīs a gasser) a little piece of... car with a 3 cylinder very weak engine but it is 4wd anyway I come up to this redlight in a slight uphill and it was snowing. Next to me a couple of kids in daddys BMW pulls up and starts laughing at the little car next to them... so I rev it up to the redline and engage the 4wd, now they look angry revving the bmw but as the light shifts they are getting nowhere with the rwd bmw and the little subi just sails away from the light.... Felt really good...
it was truly the most rediculous thing I'd seen in quite a while.
Something to look forward to when you do my 89 over? LOLOL
Stay safe, stay well.
