Racing a Pontiac Aztek :)

SO, 2 dudes in a Pontiac Aztek roll up next to me and my buddy at a stop light today all revving their engine and shit....first of all, i vomited when i saw the piss-ass nasty green gleem shimmer off the ugliest vehicle on the face of the earth, then vomited again as i saw it in my rear-view....the dude didn't know how to drive that car/station-wagon/tent/midget-hearse...so much power accompanying that aerodynamic beast....bleck! Just ralphed again....not really....has anybody else come close to vomiting at the sight of a Pontiac Aztec?

Dunno about vomiting but every time I see one it reminds me how out of touch GM is with the buying public. You just know the GM people responsible for designing and pushing that visual abomination to the public have either been fired or demoted. If not, they should have been. The crazy/amazing/disappointing thing is that some people are actually buying it.

No shizzle- whatever they were smoking was laced with some serious raunchy elephant shit...maybe they let monkeys design the Aztek- they pry just threw their shit at a drawing board and Chevy suits put it into production...

How'd you know when the light turned green.......I'd be too busy scratching my eyes out from see that butt ugly POS.

On another note, what is it with SUVs that want to race every car they come up next to? It must be some kind of small dick syndrome associated with having to drive a bus disguised as a car.

Nawh, you're thinking of the smaller Pontiac Vibe (which can also be had with the 180HP I4 from the Celica GT-S.)

The Aztek has a 185HP 3.4L V6.

I am definitely not here to defend the 3.4 from GM but at least it has one thing many Honda engines lack.... It's called Torque....

The 3.8L is a much better engine IMHO, but still no match for our engines

The 3.4L V6 provides only 210@4000. That's not a lot of torque in my book. Shit, even the CL-S provides 232@3500, and from a 3.2L V6. I just hate when people say Honda engines lack torque.

Nah, Homer drives the Canyonero, more of a land rover type of thing, but as far as the Aztek or whatever the hell that waste of plastic is, i think anyone who is caught driving one should be yanked out of their vehicle, strapped into ski boots, hands tied to ankles, while in the middle of a maximum security prison yard...

I see, not a true simpsons fan. Canyonero has nothing to do with the car Homer designed.

ASS-tek

Azteks or ASS-teks as we at the GM dealers call them are hideous.
I don't know who made them up and i don't want to know, but come on why would you even bother, if i was in that situation(which happens alot driving a gold CLS), I turn look them straight in the eyes and laugh. Sometimes i'll roll down the window a make fun of them, espicially civics and crxs, i don't even bother there is nothing to prove. Just save the racing for cars that'll give you a challenge.

more like Fast and the Soccer mom's ride . Wait I can't diss all mini-vans that bad cause occasionally I drive my mom's odyesee.(all in all for a Mini-van it's got good amount of power) so what will be a first race a Turboed Odyesee vs a Windstar with a S/C hehehe.
oh BTW(since we're talking about racing kinda of) Dad(which works for Honda of America) anyhow one of the "Company cars" is a Blue TL-S (He didn't say if it was navi or no navi) but out in their "container yard" they usually park it they said usually when they go from Anna to Marysville they do just BURN THE TIRES leaving toward Marysville. I was just laughing. (I'm thinking you got a awesome 30-35 grand car,your on the clock,and your tearing up the company's car what more can you ask for from a car) Dad came home (he knew I was into CLs/TLs) and said Holy hell son what do they put in those. I said a hell of a v-6 :P .
