Hey List,
I just have to share this with the
list...
So stop at the store to pick up a six pack of Becks
(had to throw that in there for the German content)...On my way out of the
store, I hear some dude revving his very loud Iroc engine..."uh, yeah!" I think
as I hop into the my Roc...He pulls out of the parking lot ahead of me very fast
(kinda made me mad, you shouldn't drive like that in a crowded supermarket
parking lot). There is a light getting out of the lot. He is in front of me. The
light turns green, he starts out real slow, kinda just rolling and then slams on
it to, I don't know, impress me...I stay with him, yawning as we come to the
next light. Now I pull along side him. He jokes with his girlfriend as he revs
his engines and jumps the line a little bit. I rev my 16v a little as I roll
back, then forward, and then back and forward again...The light turns green, we
both light 'em up a bit, engines screaming, I take first gear out, bang into
second hear that sweet chirping sound as my tires grab, BAM! I am 1 1/2 car
lengths ahead of him!!! From stop light to stop light, as we approach the next
intersection, I casually put my blinker on and get into his lane, I earned
it, without cutting him off...Then I make my turn and go home, yelling the whole
time to myself "YEAH BABY, 'DAS WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT, IROC THIS!!!"....It was
a definite all out 150 yard dash, and the lowly 16v with the 4k tranny stomped
the shit out of his overrated Chevy 350, that's all there is to it, no bullshit,
no excuses, I won! A victory not only for myself, but a victory to share with
the list...Ahh, that's why we love this cars, so unpredictable...So the
next time you have to work in the cold to replace a passenger side motor mount,
think of how much you really love your car...Now I will go and enjoy those
Beck's...Later ;-0
