I never wanted to utter...

[ocnblu]

...these words as much as I did today. I pulled up to a redlight, and in the next lane, a red Geo Metro convertible, top down, made its glorious presence known, with a little chubby nerdy dude driving it. In my heart and on my tongue were the words... "THAT THING GOT A HEMI IN IT?"

I chickened out, though.

Hehehe. Sometimes I actually do mess with the people on the side of me. Like this past week, when some teenager in a Civic was blasting rap music for all the world to hear. I decided it's time to put my factory Pioneer system with XM to work. I flick the dial down to the "Bluegrass Junction" channel, and crank it. I wish I had a camera to get the expression on his face...it was priceless.

I'm also anxiously awating an opportunity to pull alongside a Town Car or some other car with a simulated convertible top so I can say to them, "Hey, it's a nice day. Why don't you put the top down?"

[Intrepidation]

lol you shoulda aske dif he had a hemi...what if he said yes?

[PurdueGuy]

it wouldn't suprise me if the geo metro engine does have a hemispherical combustion chamber...

When people would mess with me... I'd rev my engine saying I'd want to race. When we'd race... I'd loose. I think I lost to a Camry once. Damn GA.

i remember once seeing a honda civic hatchback () with 8... yes 8 exhaust exits... not pipes... just the tips... but ya know he wanted the effect... so i was compelled to say... and i did... "pardon me but im wondering how much horsepower having 2 exhaust pipes per cylinder adds?" and he got real mad at me...

another time i was riving along and i became aware of some extremely loud reggae in the car next to me... so i looked and saw some nerdy guy bouncing around in his seat movin his hands and it looke like trying to rap... or reggae... along... so i cranked my judas priest and watched the fun begin as he became confused... looked at me... realized i had seen him... and became very still haha

whats funny is to ride through the ghetto in my caprice and blare Country every one looks around and tries not to laugh but after you pass them i look in the mirror and they are laughing so hard. I figure give them somthing to laugh at since its hard times down there. but when you see people running at your car trying to jack it thats when its not fun.

once i asked a person in a Ram with the hemi in it and i asked him what a hemi is he was clueless. He said it was a guy that invented the V8. or what ever. then i opend up my vortec in my silverado and kept up with mybed of my truck was at the same level as the end of his bed. To me thats a close race. considering he has a hemi and what not and i only have the 5300

I chickened out, though.

"Chicken" doesn't chicken out (he's a feisty one) and you do ???

[ocnblu]

With a car like that, he might have had a .357 Magnum under the seat. So yeah, I was more chicken than Chicken.
