How do you spell CRAP? H - O - N - D - A.....or.........A-C-U-R-A
Driving down the I-5 freeway, another jealous wanna-be can't afford a real
car Honda owner was tailgating my Ferd Stang. I thought to myself, Hmm..
let's see how well his CRAPPED out Honda can do on the curve with those
500HP chrome rims and coffee can exhaust. Coming up to the I-5 turn off
into the Camp Pendleton front gate, it has a 35 degree swing in one
direction and then swing back another 35 degree in the opposite direction.
A smooth curve that any hot rod enthusiast would love to test the limitation
of his/her suspension system.
Getting in the far right lane, since all California think they have fast
cars (mostly four bangers or under powder sixes) will drive in the left
lane. I smoked the tires and gunned the car to 75MPH through the curve and
the four wheel disk brakes brought the car to a halt at the light before the
gate. I was laughing at the guy in his crapping Honda (Acura) while sitting
at the light. He didn't know what hit him when I left him six car length
behind on that curve. Ha Ha Ha
When he drove up next me I was still laughing at him and his car. Never
such stupidity have I seen is with these Honda (Acura) owners, thinking that
the car can do anything. I usually pick on the GT regular Stang since they
think the same. I would watch the car almost tip over in the attempt to
keep up on a clover leaf on-ramp doing around 70-80MPH. Love those sticking
tires that only last 20K miles. Seeing themselves being beaten will almost
cause an accident trying to cut me off or go over to the far left lane and
cutting someone else off.
The moral to the story is, when I see a modified Saleen, Roush, or Steeda
Stang, I know only one thing-it is has real suspension system. Or another
words: BEWARE. Unfortunaly! Most young drivers chopped there springs
thinking it will help them around any curve and looks great u until they are
bouncing everywhere.
I tell you it was a fun day in California.......
