Third story: 10,000 RPMs Baybeee!
Jake's been coming over here and eating our food, hell, even flirting with my sister...pretty much taking advantage of our hospitality, which is fine. What's not fine, however, is how much **** he talks about my car project to everyone behind my back. "Jared's car's going to be too light and he's going to flip it." "My goal is to beat Jared and Ed (my dad) in circuit racing!" The list goes on. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but in my book, that's considered being a complete jackass to have no issues eating our food and still talk **** about both me and my father when he's not around. So he comes over here the other night and looks up an engine replacement for his that "redlines at 10,000 RPMs out of the box!" He then says "Hey Jared, what's your engine supposed to redline at?" "I dunno, 8,000 maybe." "Look at this here! It redlines at 10,000 RPMs!" I just sigh and continue what I'm doing.
Today, a close friend of mine comes by and says, "Jake's talking about getting this damn engine that's supposed to redline at 10,000 RPMs...I'm sick of hearing him talk about his damn car." "Haha, yeah, since having a higher redline means he'll automatically win against me." "Yeah, haha, I told him that your car'll still beat his..."
So, where does Jake get off doing this? Why, in his infinite wisdom, would he think that talking as much **** as possible behind my back will make him an accepted person over here? To alleviate my frustration, I've made a new background that I hope he sees before I have a change of heart to take it off. I'll submit that here.

Well, to be honest with you, a Subaru engine that's built up enough to handle 10K revs is probably strong enough to handle quite a bit of boost, so there is a lot of potential there. The most powerful EJ25 in the country is putting out over 700 awhp....
