I found someone who doesn't like my car!!

On my way home today from the Sprint store, I noticed the sun had come up after raining all afternoon and the roads were dry. After making a left turn, there was open road up ahead of me and a Dodge Ram to my right. Without thinking or hesitation, I just floored my car. She dropped it down to first, got good traction (sometimes I spin when I do this) and took off. Hit second gear, going into VTEC, waaaaaaahhhh!! Right as I pass the guy in the Dodge Ram, I'm approaching redline in 2nd gear, and it scared the hell out of the guy.

He jumped in his seat, dropped his cigarette, and shook his head at me. At the light, he pulled up next to me, and brought his hands up in a gesture, like "What the hell were you doing?" What was I doing? I was (although the smilie icon says racing, I just wanted to use the driving thing )

He obviously didn't like how loud my car was under WOT. But I think it was in a pretty safe condition, since there was no cars in front of us, roads were dry and I was just flooring down a straight road. Oh, well. I'm actually quite amused that I met the first person who didn't like my car (I'm sure there are others out there, but I haven't met 'em yet, and this guy was the first )


Hot damn, I love my car.

good work!!!

if the guy would pay more attention to his environment like your supposed to do when you drive a vehicle, he would not have been startled. And why the hell would he even say something? Some people go WOT and some people dont. What a jack off. Now im vexed. This guy has made be become vexed. god damnit

Hey Pure Adrenaline ...

Wasn't you who posted that you drive an old person's car and you didn't like it ... today you write that you love your car? I didn't realize the TL-S is a love-it-or-hate-it car (like an Aztec) ???!!!

yeah, WOT is wikid w/a CAI. I jsut have my resonator removed and when i go down the street it is a head turner. not to hijack the thread, but last night i was coming home and when i got near my house i was in both lanes and came to a stop sign. The lady across from me just sat and stared and gave me this puzzled look for some odd reason, even though it was her turn to go. It was hilarious

Yeah, that was me who posted that. But I never said I didn't like my car. I just don't like the fact that my car (well, all of our cars) is mostly driven by old people.

After nearly two years of having my car, I still can't peel my eyes off of her. That's how much I love her.





indo -- nice try at getting back at me, but my tints are pretty dark and I know he couldn't see me.

Hey Pure Adrenaline,

I stand corrected.

I feel the same way about my car, too!
