[-The Stig-]

Ok, I normally dont dip my Nova around... being 10.25:1 compression and being only 91+ Octane addicted.. its not the most economical vehicle. So I drive my Truck around to work and to friends houses. So... on my way home this evening I stopped at a light with my window down (cool summer evenings are great arent they?) and this guy rolls up in a riced Civic EX with a hideous body kit (dont get me wrong i like some body kits) and he had a 3 layer wing. I guess he just got all the kits on, and his Megomuff exhaust and wanted to race sommetthing...

So he's to my left, and he look up at me and says... "Yo man.. wanna run?" I just gave him a blank stare. Once again "Yo man... you game?" and he has the nerve to throw a Rev at me. Im shocked... this guy is serious... So i throw a lazy Rev back... Light turns green... I notice the guy only shifts down into Drive. I make this assumption cause his hand didnt travel all that far from Neutral. Myself, im in Low gear (1) and rally away. For a vehicle that weighs 5200lbs it'll get going pretty good. Off the line i had him, on through second gear i was ahead but not by much... and into 3rd he was just at my door. As i went into 4th (my OD) i eased off and the guy stopped next to me at the next light we came too, and had the nerve to say something to the effect of "you cheated". i couldnt make it out cause the light turned and he sped off trying to impress me or something.. I dont know. I sure as hell hope it was stock, cause if my '86 Blazer with 142K miles on its original engine could hang... thats Sad. Why do people do that? I boggles the mind...

Mad props to those who make them fast.

I keep an open mind for a different view...
