I'm starting to get pissed off with this town, a guy can't drive down the main drag in a half decent looking vehicle at 11:00pm without someone wanting to race him... I was doing the limit in the slow lane listening to some chill/mellow Stevie Ray Vaughn with my arm out the windo when two ditsy blondes smoking like chimneys start trying to race me in this ford Ranger. I just shook my head, then not a minute later I get the same thing from some punk in a G5 GT.

They just put a new law out called "stunt driving" less than a year ago and street racing falls under that category, $2000 fine and your car is towed/impounded for a week right then and there. IMO it hasn't helped ANYTHING, like wtf? I never even got that in my cavalier and it looked more racey than a 4x4 Blazer.

Why do people insist on racing Blazers? I sure as hell don't because there's no point, it's an SUV, not a rice burner with something to prove.

 

once i was sitting at an intersection enjoying a taco when all of the sudden a guy pulls up and revs his engine in a camry and i saw a cop pull into the car wash a minuite earlier. So i rev my engine too the light turns green and he takes off like a bat outta hell. Then the cop gets him. i drove on by laughing all the way.
me= him=

 

lol, had a similar incident with a Caliber SRT-4... the story's int he original post.

 

That's exactly why I've been checking out the G8 GXP lately.

You know that means you gotta marry her now, right? A good truck-lovin' woman is hard to find.

 

Tell me about it, my ex didn't even know what a Corvette was, let alone the fact that spare tires existed. We had a 99 Blazer at the time and she didn't know what that "thing" was on the back of the "metal thing" that swung out to open the "back door". I'm pretty sure I almost cried myself to sleep that night.

Didn't work out lol. Now my current girlfriend is explaining to my buddy's how fuel injection and carbs are different lol, I taught her alot, but that's because she wanted to learn. keeper

 

My wife loves trucks. She doesn't like working on vehicles herself, but she does have a good understanding of it when I explain it to her, which is just fine in my book.

Your girl sounds like the ex I almost married but didn't. One time I asked her to help me replace the alternator in my '90 Acura Legend, and she figured it out on her own, pushed me out of the way, and finished the job! She was also a helluva driver. She kicked my *** in this one driving arcade game. I'm the guy that prided himself on finishing the courses and putting my initials on the board, but she totally put me to shame. Good times...

 

Video games aren't her forte, the mechanical work side isn't her forte either, but the fact she understands what I mean when I say I have to replace something is fine.

She wasn't too interested in helping put the stock airbox back in either lol, I told her how to pull the CAI off "losen the hose clamp closest to the heat shield and pull the pipe with the filter off, then loosen the other clamp and pull the blue rubber off the stock intake hose." She comes back to me after pulling the hose clamp completely off and nothing else then says, "What else did you want me to do?" hmmm.. not that! lol. I ended up doing the entire thing myself, so I'm still working on getting her into the greasy bits more lol.

She's the only woman so far though who listens to me babble on endlessly about engines and what not and actually asks questions. I've gotten LOTS of blank stares from other people.

I love how we've digressed from arsehole drivers to talking about the women in our lives...

 

Yeah. We should probably move it to the Lounge. LOL

 

I'm sure a moderator'll pop by and move us over lol, unless people start coming back with stories of people driving like terd-brains and getting what's coming to them lol.

 

ya my ex was slow cause i was installing neons in my truck and had the truck on a jack, she didnt see me and let the truck down im hella glad its at stock height or you could look up my obiturary on google
