Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

You heard me right, my grandma has an SRT-4. It's a long story as to how/why she got it, but if you are curious, ask me later and I'll tell you. Don't feel like typing the entire story out at the moment.

Anyways on to me butchering my Grandmother in my new LS1.

Anyways so she comes to town every month or so to visit relatives (most of her kids live here). So I am just driving around in my new LS1 and taking in the scenery at extra-legal speeds on a low-traffic highway. All of the sudden I notice a black dot getting onto the highway a ways ahead of me. Since nobody really lives out here I was pretty sure it was my Grandma heading home or to somebody else's house (she stays with my uncle who lives near the area where I was at).

So I speed up and am approaching her at about 80MPH. I get beside her and look over with a big friendly smile on my face. She rolls down her window (realizing it was me) and waves like a 67 year old woman does... I quickly give her a glare as if she just flipped me off and started to rev at her... She just laughed and shook her head. I was waiting for her to go (knowing she wouldn't know what it meant if I honked 3 times) and she finally got the hint and stepped on it. I downshifted and floored it, leaving her in my teenage dust.

I then just head on home. However I notice her coming up somewhat quickly (probably wasn't in the right gear) behind me. I don't accelerate and she passes me going relatively quickly.

I then realized... My Grandma just gave me a ricer-flyby!

Re: Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

BURNNNN!!!! You got the fly-by from a grandma, you can never show your face here again.

J/k of course, sounds like fun, if she would have downshifted it would've made for a better race. When ya'll got home did you explain to her that she was suppose to be a gracious loser and stay behind you??

Re: Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

Man, i'm beginning to smell bs here. Your stories are now getting a little over the top for me.

I'm raising the BS flag until you can post proof of all your stuff, and your grandma standing by her SRT-4

Re: Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

Call BS all you want, doesn't matter much to me. I knew people were going to want an explination as to why the hell a 67(66?68) year old woman would have an SRT-4.

Well it goes like this...

She lives in a SMALL town about an hour or so away from where I live. The town has maybe 1000 (rough guess) people in it and only 1 car dealership? So she decided she needed a new car for herself a few months ago so she went to the dealership in her town. She used to have a 95(I think) Corolla which she had had for quite some time. So I guess she was looking for something with 4 doors and quite a bit of room and good one gas. She isn't exactly the most car-smart woman in the world, and I am assuming she doesnt know the difference between an SRT-4 and a normal Neon.

I think what happened was the salesmen realized he didn't have many cars to sell her so he figured the SRT-4 was her best bet since it has everything she needed (and about 100 MORE hp than she needs).

Anyways, kind of a long story. I am willing to bet that car never goes faster than 70MPH... Such a shame but she seems to like it...

Re: Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

I don't mind... I guess I'd have a hard time believing it myself if I heard it...

Anyways, just thought I'd post a funny story....

Flame on if you will.

Re: Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

Like I said, I don't much care if you believe me or not. Just thought some people would get a kick out of it...

And sorry I am in no hurry to get some snap-shots of my 67 year old grandma to please some members of an automotive message board...

Re: Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

We didn't say it had to be tomorrow, or even next week... If you remember to next time you see her, just snap a shot of her and the car.

That'd be cool. I don't doubt you, just it'd be cool to see some lil ol lady sportin a SRT4.

Re: Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

SRT-4s are manual only. Now 99% of 67 year old women drive automatics. I still say

Re: Me VS My Grandma's SRT-4

My grandma (late 60s) drove her 5 speed CRX around for a long time, she got tired of the clutch and moved on up to an Prelude (auto).
