I find it annoying when I have one stuck to my bumper and can't seem to shake it, like a bug. Or... when one pulls up beside me and wants to race, but I can't stop laughing at the Teletubbie handle on the back of it, or what looks like a Meccano set wing - but to put it into perspective, they are usually kids. As long as they drive safe, to each his own.

Now Blackdak... You start talking about Supra's and NSX'es and then compare them to the R/T and other domestic performance vehicles. First of all... The Supra is close to 70 thousand and the NSX is around 90 thousand.
As for the Supra, if im paying 70 thousand dollars I would honestly hope it has the ability to beat my truck. On a side note as a matter of fact I did race a Supra Turbo, in my R/T CC, on I-70 once. I'll admit it did bury me pretty good but not 60 or 70 thousand dollars good, keep in mind I was still stock at the time. The sad thing about the Supra TT is at its peak (stock) its lucky to break into the mid 13's. I'd personally rather save 30 thousand dollars and get a Cobra or a Camero SS or something like that. Imagine if you bought a Mustang Cobra for 32 thousand dollars, jammed 28 thousand dollars worth of modifications under the hood and then raced, at that point, the 60 thousand dollar Supra TT in the 1/4, in the slolem, top end... It gets kind of rediculous if you think into it with alittle logic. Hell, if your going to pay that much you might as well pay the extra couple of thousand and get a Viper and walk all over the damn'ed thing.
As for the NSX... there isnt much you can say... 90 thousand and it barly has over 300 horse power, if that... Please...

thats what ppisses me off, people who make their cars "look fast" but they are all stock under the hood, i make my truck look like it goes off road but it ..... oh wait nm, hardly ever will i pass up a new mud hole :-)
I borrowed my wife's Geo Metro last night. One liter of raw power,
Three cylinders of asphalt-tearing terror on thirteen-inch rims.
It's stock alright, nothing done to it, but it pushes the barely 2000
pounds of Metro around with AUTHORITY. I'm always catching mopeds
and 18-wheelers by surprise... I was headed back from Baskin Robbins
with my manly triple-latte cappuccino blast ("No Cinnamon, ma'am, I
take it BLACK"), when I stopped at a streetlight. As the Metro
throbbed its throaty idle around me, I sipped my bold beverage and
wiped the white froth from my stiff upper lip. I was minding my own
business, but then I heard a rev from the next lane. I turned, made
eye contact, then let my eyes trace over the competition. Ford
Festiva - a late model, could be trouble. Low profile tires, curb
feelers, and schoolbus-yellow paint. Yep, a hot rod, for sure. The
howl of his motor snapped my reverie, and I looked back into the
driver's eyes, nodded, then blipped my own throttle. As I tugged on
my driving gloves and slipped on my sunglasses (gotta look cool to be
fast, and I am "damn" cool, hence...), the night was split with the
sound of seven screaming cylinders... Then the light turned... I
almost had him out of the hole, my three pounding cylinders thrusting
me at least a millimeter back into my seat, as smoke poured from my
front right tire... my unlimited slip differential was letting me
down! I saw in the corner of my eyes, a yellow snout gaining, and I
heard the roar of his four cylinders. He slung by me, right front
wheel juddering against the pavement, and he flashed me a smile as
his .7 extra liters of motor stretched its legs. I kept my foot
gamely in it, though, waiting for the CHECK ENGINE light to blink on
in the one-gauge (no tachometer here!) instrument panel. I saw a
glimpse of chrome under his bumper, and knew the ugly truth... He was
running a custom exhaust-probably a 2-into-1 dual exhaust...maybe
even cutouts! Damn his hot-rod soul! The old lady passing us on the
crosswalk cast a dirty look in our boy-racer direction... Yet still I
persisted, with my three pumping pistons singing a heady high-pitched
song, wound fully out. Though only a few handfuls of seconds had
passed, we were nearing the crosswalk at the other side of the
interesection, and I heard the note of his engine change as he made
his shift to second, and I saw his grin in his rearview mirror fade
as he missed the shift! I rocketed by, shifting, and nursed the
clutch gently in to keep from bogging, keeping my motor spinning hot
a pulling me ahead, now trailing a cloud of stinking clutch smoke.
Not ready to give up so easily, he left his foot in it, revving, and
I heard one wheel *almost* chirp as he finally found second and
dropped the clutch. We careened over the croswalk, now going at
least 15 miles per hour. A bicyclist passed us, but intent on the
race as we were, neither of us batted an eye. He pulled slowly
abreast of me, and neck and neck, we made the shift to third, the
scream of motors deafening all pedestrians within a five foot
circle. He nosed ahead as we passed in front of me, taunting, as we
shifted into fourth. I was staring up the dual 6" chrome tips of his
exhaust, snarling, my cappuccino forgotten, as he lifted a little to
take the next corner. I saw my opportunity, and counting on the
innate agility of my trusty steed, I pulled wide into the number two
lane and kept my foot buried in carpet. Slowly, I inched around him,
feeling my Metro roll slowly to the left as I came abreast in the
midst of this gradual sweeping turn. I felt the Geo ease onto its
suspension stops, and felt the right rear wheel slowly leave the
ground - no matter, though, because my drive wheels, up front, were
pulling me through the corner, and around the Festiva... The Ford
driver beat his wheel in rage as my wife's car eased past him on the
outside, myP165/55R13's screaming in protest, as we raced to the next
light. We coasted down, neck-and-neck, to the red light. I
tighentened my driving gloves, ready for another round, when this
WIMP in the next car meekly flipped his turn signal and made a
right. Chevy (Suzuki) superiority reigns!!! I drove off sipping my
masculine drink, awash in my sheer virility, looking for other
unwitting targets...

a bunch of my freinds worked at an auto parts store in high school and one day i was in b.s.ing with one of em when this guys comes in... He goes up to my freind at the parts counter as i retreated to an aisle. "yeah, im looking to get some new tires and wheels for my car"
"ok sir, what year make and model is it?"
"its a 93 ford festiva, im looking to get some bigger wheels, maybe some lower profile tires"
"well it looks like youve got 12 in stock wheels on there"
"yeah, i was thinking maybe a 13 or 14 inch wheel"
"well sir, we dont really carry much in those sizes they arent too popular"
"what about those ones?"pointing at the wall
"uhhh, well those are trailer wheels"
"oh"
after that i was laughing too hard to remember what happened after, but all i remember is he was a tall white guy with a mullet... driving a festiva... lookin for some performance

....You looked long and hard for that 5hp model.
You hate when it rains because you have to stand behind the car and pull the little string to get your car started.
You start your car to warm it up and go back into the house and your parents ask you to put the weed eater away when your done.
You drive by a park and people start swatting because the sound of your car makes them think bugs are buzzing around their heads.
The only thing louder than your coffe-can muffler is the sound of the metal on metal grinding sound the 8-12" subs stuffed in back make as they shake every bolt holding your car together loose.
I'm not sure if this has been said but...
Your speakers are bigger than your wheels.
