Thought that most of you would get a kick out of this, but I had to tell this because it's so funny. Down here in Y-town they are opening a SpeedPeople.com store... This is where all the little riceburners are hanging out - Anyhow - They are all trying to strut their stuff now that they have a place to do it..
I was sitting at a main intersection waiting for the light to turn, I looked next to me and saw a mid 90's Escort GT, teal green - basically a regular car. When I looked closer I saw he had pillar gauges and a shift light.. So he looked over and started to gawk at my SVT - And he asked if " I wanted to lay it down " ... hehe.. I obliged and what came next suprised me. When he revved his engine I heard the all reminiscent sound of a turbocharger.. The blow-off whistle and all. Now I'm sitting here thinking that I might be in a little trouble...
Well the light turns green and I just accelerated normally and floored it, shifted into second and stayed there... He peeled in first gear, chirped second and third... Stayed at my rear bumper in my first gear, was about a car and a half back in my second gear. It seems that he wasn't as quick as he thought... And I didn't really push mine too hard to beat him. Although we got to the next light and he had a weird look on his face and asked me what I had in their.. He never noticed it was an SVT and thought it was a Zetec.. (I guess he was deaf for not hearing my exhaust) But I assume he was looking for the badges on the fenders and all he saw was my sidemarkers. He lost gracefully and I told him I had to go ( I was late picking up my g/f screwing around....lol )
This summer is only starting to get interesting here... (Brian you know exactly what I mean..lol) And as you guys saw at the last meet... There's always some foreign rice to beat on when you feel like it..
