Well, i destroyed my right side rims, front and back (long story), so i had to go find sumthin to fit to get to work (this is my daily driver), the only thing i could find to fit was ::drumroll:: wheels from a 1987 datsun wagon, no ****....

so i have really funny looking wheels up front, and the stock mazda rims in back...so i guess that's y all these idiots in trucks/vans/escorts keep trying to race, course they all work with me and i have a big mouth......Anyway 1st up

1997 Dodge Ram 2500.....getting onto a little curve that merges into 1 lane and a material handler i work with is next to me at the light, well we both go the same way home, so i rev it, he revs back, light turns green, i go at about 3.5k, he goes and takes the lead early on, i hit 2nd and wrap it out, and hit 3rd halfway thru 3rd i catch up and punch it, hit 4th i'm ahead, hold it till about 95 merge, go home next night.....Get next to a friend in an 94 Chrysler van with a 3.3 multiport, auto, i wasn't even gonna rev on him, but he looked over revved it and smiled, so i knew he was up for it, green light, drop it at 4.5k spin a bit and then catch and go he beat me till i hit 4th and about 85 then i got ahead and held it till 100 then left off, cuz we were entering a known speed trap, he gave me the thumbs up and went home :P

NEXT night (yeah, this is what i look forward to on the way home...) guy i stack with pulls up in his 93 escort lx, he revs it i laf, i rev he looks over points foward and guns it again, i smile, put it in first and rev it to 4k, light turns, we go i smoke him from the get go, 1st thru 4th, but it was fun....still wishin some1 with a 1/2 way nice car would come along so i could see how i hold up...prolly not too well, the 7 just ain't runnin right

I would have to agree, there never has been a car that could beat me off the line.

ME-2?? man i didn't think anyone even saw this post :P....it's running ok now, still not up to par from what i've come to expect....got a CNI today...120$ down the drain , seems to be real sluggish in the repsonse department right now, i was sposed to change my oil 1000 miles ago, could that affect it at all? i dunno, still love the car, just wish it would fix ITSELF!

i have been getting crappy Casey's gas, but got better gas yesterday...damn i am rambling
