So you all know the joke of a daily driver i have and you know it would draw attention with the "hood scoop" (actually a dryer vent from home depot) and the spray paint, and stickers...ANYWAY i raced some guys from my school cuz they thought it would be fun to race some slow *** cars...i know dumb as hell, but fun as hell too. the first was a late 80's volvo wagon with 110hp and rear wheel drive...i think, anyway it was wet out and i dropped the clutch at like redline,,,smoked the 175 tounge bitches and had to turn to stay in the lane.. he got a jump but had like 1/4 of a car length when i had to let off because of parked cars on the curb.haha fun though.

Last night i race a 96 ford taurus wagon, w/subs, neons, and some enkei like 12'in rims ....i thought i was gonna get killed by the v6. We went twice, i shifted mad quik and was at the end of 3rd at the end of the block. he beat me that time..close tho. the next heat i dumped it a little higher now and squealled all the way through first. shifted even faster and it was neck and neck.

realize that my car does not have power steering, shitty shocks, and tiny way unbalanced tires, we were going around 50mph at the end of the block and i was almost out of control. i know it might sound stupid but GOD how much fun.. and hey the pony ain't no joke for bein around 2600lbs and 90hp.hahah

Hell yeah. The fuel pump died. And took the relay, sending unit, and wiring harness with it. I'm lucky I didn't blow up!!
