I'm sitting at a light with wifey and this last gen vette pulls along side of me. He sees young guy, young girl, nice car. He figures why not embarass me. So he threw some revs my way. So i just look over, and s does my girl. He kept revving and looking at me. I thought to myself, ahh why not... As the light turned green i punched it and he was no where near me. I look at the rear view mirror and he is stalled under the light. I laughed my ass off, and so did my girl while he sat there. So to add insult to injury i hooked a u turn to embarass him some more. I drive to where he is and get stuck under the light in the opposite side. He is standing outside of his car on his cell, and there is another car stopped behind him. As we passed by i laughed and pointed. The front end of the car had his paint and his rear bumper was crushed. I guess the guy behind him though he was taking off, and then the Vette stalled. It was funny though, but hey i beat him :p

 

Boy that's funny! I'll bet he felt stoooooopid!

 

That 's classic, talk about adding insult to injury

 

Bigman--Obviously he broke something, the guy in the older Vette. Would you like to come and embarrass me some? I assure you that I won't break down or give you anything to "laugh your ass off "at. Name the time and place, I'll give you 2 cars and put it on you bad.....or I'll start in second gear, whichever? You were lucky this time do you believe that you will be with me? Make my day! Reality check here: TL-s cars are quick but nowhere close to fast. QuickRick

 

QuickRick sounds like a d.... (too much testosterone)

No one on this forum thinks the TL is faster than a new Vette. The Vettes from the mid 80's weren't all that quick, but no one in their right mind would seriously try a new one. In light of the facts, his car broke and it was funny. Picture you in the same scenario in your Vette but it was next to a Diablo. If the Diablo broke in the intersection, you would have gotten a kick out of it too.

Sheesh...

 

Uh, yeah, come on down here and I'll take you on. It's only an 11 hour drive on Labor day weekend. I'll be waiting...unless you're chicken!

 

Hey quick rick whats the Vette substituting, lack of a large..... Anyway, no ish a Vette would smoke me. I dont think my car is fast i just enjoy driving it. Anyone who thinks a TL is faster than the Vette is an idiot. How about i bring my bosses 355 spyder and we'll see who really who teaches who a lesson. Whatever you have, no matter what someone will have something better. So dont put your money where your mouth is because i will walk away a couple of dollars richer.

 

Geez, I can't believe someone actually took this personal. I don't think he read the whole post or misunderstood. If not, then oh well.

 

my wife says guys who drive vettes have an ego problem and small penis'. hmmmmmmm

thanks for confirming one of her suspicions.

wait let me read the original post again...nope he never said a tls could beat a vette, just your _____________ what was the reason you had a vette again????

punk

Guys, I obviously know that if I pick on a Diablo I'll get smoked. I think I'm a little disressed over the tone of the "kill". That part where you laugh at another ones distress was, face it, a little childish don't you think? I can beat any car out there at anyprice as long as it is missing a componenet or has a flat, big deal! I reread the thing and the last sentence says "oh well, I beat him" is like winning a foot race against a kid in a wheelchair isn't it? All I'm saying is when I race a car and brag about beating it, atleast it is a running car, geeze! QuickRick. P.S. Okay flame me about my testosterone now or penis sizing,lol.

 

What kind of an idiot pulls his C5 up to a TLS and revs his engine and wants to race? This reminds me a the street bully picking on the smaller kids. This is why Bigmans story is so amusing.

The guy in the C5 was probably jealous that Bigman had a girl and wanted to show him up. He used his horsepower to conpensate for an empty passenger seat.

Now I don't understand why QuickRick takes this so personally? Is it a Corvette club thing? I'm sure if I heard the story of a TLS picking on a something much smaller I would laugh at that too!

 

Hey QuickRick: this style of humor is called "irony". In it an obvious kill was thwarted by the unlucky failure of a part, which turned the Corvette driver's assumption of victory into an embarrassing no-start. The humor lies in the almost cosmic sense of victory for the underdog TLS, and therein lies "the funny".

Boy, it's never funny when you have to explain the joke.

In other words, lighten up, we're just having fun.

 

Yeah man calm down. I mean wouldn't it have been funny if i was thrwing revs at a VW Rabbit and and all of a sudden i stall out and he takes off. When i said kill i ment it in the lightest sense. I obviously understand that i could never defeat a corvette using my TL, but the fact the remains is that he stalled, got hit and "Lost" because he was an idiot. Why didnt you rip on the guy with the vette for trying to pick on me, you own one you know what they can do. I say blahhhh, whatever.

 

OK OK, now that that horse is a bloody pulp...

QuickRick, how do you like the Type-S? You've got the same color scheme as I do (good choice!). Any plans on modifying it?

 

Funny story, yes. But I tend to agree with QuickRick about the ointing and laughing part. Thats a little too much. Maybe a little snicker would have been in order!

 

quickrick, it's getting pretty late this labor day weekend, I've got to get up early. Are you coming down here or not? Standing by.

 

hell yes! i like u...

 

let them hate they just wish they had a damn vette i kno my azz does. everyone with a type s swears they have a race car. but hey, i understand u 100%

 

dont hate cuz u dnt have 1. vettes cant b touched. PERIOD
unless u spend over 80 grand

 

I'm not sure about that... I think the Vette's little cousin (Camaro SS) with a few mods could hang.

 

Man, I have smoked several vettes in my boys TT supra! and that ain't a 80K car....
