Last night 08/25 I was cruising with a friend at a local mall in my moms 95 GT convertible (the 17k mile crown jewel of our driveway). When out of nowhere I hear a fart can on a four cylinder revving up. I look around to see a red DSM eclipse (no signs it was a turbo, the biggest clue was the absence of a whine to the engine), with a mild body kit and chrome tail lights. Naturally I see an opportunity to kick some ricer ass. I started doing a brake stand and whipped the back end around in a cloud of smoke to face him, when I was promptly given a 'HELL YEAH!" from some redneck rumbling by in his big ass Chevy truck.
So I follow rice boy to a parking space where we can chat. He says he’s running a 2.2 (then later he says 2.0) turbo /w nitrous and he wants to race for money. I said I race for fun not cash, but I’d like to see what’s sitting under his hood. To which he replied "no way man, I don't let anyone know my secrets, next thing I know, you might tell your ricer friends"...
...
Ok, so we sit and chat about cars for a few minutes, and I tell him about my 94 GT coupe (currently with a blown out clutch.). And he says he rebuilds engines and could make my coupe "smoke anything out there for $500".
My Bull**** detector went off, the sound in my head was deafening, "smoke anything out there for $500". Please tell me it is impossible as I suspect, if not, I think I'm going to have someone else do work on my car from now on.
Anyone else find this as funny as I do?
