On my way home from the hill climb this past weekend (see results and video here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=447684)

I stopped off at Burger King of a celabratory double cheeseburger. The kid at the drive through looks at Hyde sitting there all stickered up with the cam-induced lumpy idle through my new deep exhaust (blump, blump, blump) and asks why I am driving a race car on the street.

I explain it's a street car that I race, not a racecar on the street :D

Anyway ... I get about 1/2 mile away and I roll up to a redlight in the right lane just as a car rolls up to my left. I look over to see a late 90s or early 00's Porsche 911 being piloted by a guy that I am geussing is in his early-to-mid 60s.

My experience from when I used to street race tells me that older dudes in expensive sports car never really push their cars, much less actually street race.

Anyway, this geezer rolls up and peers right over at me and nods! I almost spit out my coke. So I smile politely and reach over for a hand full of fires and he edges up with a slight rev! you've got to be kidding me ~ right?

The light turns green and he does that hesistation thing that guys do to see if the other guy is going to go for it. I did not move and he ended up driving on.

Even if I wanted to street race I was driving with my fuel light on since I only carry enough to make it to the event and back. I'm glad I was empty because that sure in hell would have been a tempting kill. It would almost have been worth to see the look on his face as I destroyed him :D

*sigh* ... anyway, I was faster than all of the Porshces at the hill climb :)

Good enough for me... :lol:

A race WOULD have been nice though..

Damn, that's funny! I can just picture spitting up the coke coughing. I hope I don't end up like that when I'm older... haha.

turtle, older like me or like the dude in the Porsche?

YOU!!! Old man!! Passing up a race like that, what are you mature or something? People who drive fast cars aren't mature everyone knows that.... :uhoh:

that one of those races you just have to do. ERR! WHY?! How fun would that have been to put that guy in his place, he even egged you on!

turtle, older like me or like the dude in the Porsche?

Older like the dude in the Porsche. I'm 31 so I'm already getting old... And I've been thinking about selling my beater to somebody younger...

Jeff's an old street racing legend around here...

Legend has it.. while racing up Mt. Everest in 1848. Jeff's mighty Turbo MR2 blew a tire. He, like any man would, had his faithful girlfriend change the tire while he timed her. Making pit stop sounds as she went cursing away.

Finally after fixing the tire, Jeff was back in the race. This race by the way was against a mountain goat. You see, Jeff was challenged by a sherpa.

"MR2 no match for Mountain goat." The sherpa said.

"I'll bet you this bag of Burger King french fries it is." Jeff replied. And it was on.

Of course, Jeff didn't know there was no road leading to the top of Mt. Everest. But being bullheaded he went for it anyways.

After a grueling 38 minutes of racing, including that ill timed pit stop, Jeff had beaten the mountain goat to the summit. Nevermind the mountain goat had sneezed, slipped on a rock and fell 22,000ft and landed on a jagged rock and later consumed by Colin Powel the mythical White Black man of the the region.

Jeff was so moved by the goats determination. He vowed never to street race again... that and his girl friend at the time left him cause she was tired of changing tires.

Now you can find Jeff fighting off alien invaders, giant centipeds, and aligning falling blocks at the local arcade. That's where I met him.

"Hey kid... bet you this bag of Burger King fries that I can get to level 66,234,456 of Tetris." He said to me.

"What? No way... you're on!" A young me replied with bounds of enthusiasm.

Jeff never made it to level 66,234,456... he only made it level 66,234,455... then I fell off Mt. Everest 22,000ft and landed on a jagged rock and was later consumed by the mythical White Blackman Colin Powel.

Jeff gave up arcades after that... now he just races up and down hills and the occasional dragstrip. He doesn't bet anymore... especially french fries. This would explain why he didn't race the Porsche... he didn't want to see the guy fall 22,000ft onto a jagged rock and later be consumed by the mythical White Blackman Colin Powel.





True story.

omg... Jeff i had no idea i'm sorry...

One bright sunny day,
in the middle of the night
Two dead men got up to fight
Back-to-back they faced one another,
Drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf police heard the noise
and he killed those two dead boys
If you don't believe this lie is true,
Asked the blind man,
he saw it too.



Nice tale Redneck ;)

Hyde is always for sale :)

Hyde is always for sale :)



Everything I own is for sale. Just requires the proper amount.

How much would it cost to bye everything you own?(hypothetically speaking)

If you had everything ... everything ... where would you keep it?

Me? oh i don't know most likely keep out side on the ground (too much of my own junk in my house).

Passing up a race like that, what are you mature or something?

:lol:

True story

Hyde is always for sale :)

Then Hyde is a whore...



EDIT: A dirty, dirty whore...

i my english teacher said "true story" after everything....that story brought back memories...good times....if anyone wants to buy a fully built 355 camaro z28....lemme know....she's up for sale....damn it.....

I stopped off at Burger King of a celabratory double cheeseburger.
You're a real party animal aren't you :cool:

How much would it cost to bye everything you own?(hypothetically speaking)
bye everything? the cost of renting a few trash dumpsters would probably suffice...but in regards to buying everything, "more than you can afford, pal. (Ferrari *engine revs*)" [sorry i just had to...it just like popped into my head even tho i haven't seen that movie in ages]

more than your ferrari can pal, afford.

what? lol

that story reminds me of bill brasky....................

Nice run in Hyde, great to hear the turbo setup running nicely. Looks like somebody tested the haybails right off the start at T1, locked em up tight. I haven't had a chance to see any hillclimbs IRL, The Texas panhandle area isn't notorious for hills...

I've seen a few hillclimb vids of some guys in their GTD40's though :smokin:

Ferrari than pal more afford for, you!

you! pal! can afford more ferrari? (mine made sense if i was an immigrant that had horrible english skills) :icon16:

*Walks up to guy standing next to his Ferarri*

"So...You just couldn't afford a Lamborghini eh?"

ouch....the burnage

BURNINATE!!!!! :evillol:

and trogdoorr comes in the niIiiIiiIIigght!

*Walks up to guy standing next to his Ferarri*

"So...You just couldn't afford a Lamborghini eh?"

that would be hilarious... :lol2:

Guys see it this way. He said it starts to get tempting. Hehe!
You only have one excuse as you said yrself, Mcdonalds...

Wait a couple months and by then he'll do it. :p
