can't wait to make my own stories, not too mention take the edge of
driving.... Mr. Police was being very generous when he pulled me over
last Friday.... Let me off for the excessive speeding, bad address on
my license, and rolling through that stop sign, and improper lane
change..... Yep, when I go, I usually go big, oops forgot, not wearing
my seat belt, hahahahahaha.... Oh, and no insurance card. all I had
was the packet cuz the truck is about a month old.... Ahhh.....I think
the only thing that saved me was the fact he loved the truck, and takes
a Buick to the track every week. It seems he was understanding of the
fact our track is closed. I have a hot machine I want to
run....hahahahaha.....

        The cars are totally impractical with only a driver's side seat,
no
        interior, etc. etc.. Here in So. CAL. I've seen a few run 11's
and
        12's... The engines are like my jetski motor... 100-200 Revs.
from
        blowing up. Most of the cars are hacked up with all the money
on
        the engine (turbo, nitrous, exhaust). Some take out the right
side
        headlight and make an induction scoop out of it!! Smogged???
Heck if
        you can take apart a car that far, putting it back together for
a smog
        check should be a snap... Though most of the cars probably
won't
        last more than 2 years, so smogging won't be an issue.

        Did race this weekend, did terrible, and Bruce even beat me!!!
I spun
        2nd gear for about first 300'... I did beat him once, and I
also beat
        a XJR!!! He hit the rev. limiter at the 1/8th, and I past him
like he
        was broken down :P He came back and I had him by a bumper bolt.

        He had traction problems on the next run (like we did all day)
and
        spun his tires the entire 330'....

        On his 3rd run he rolled out...spun a little to around the 60',
        then said 'C-YA' to an import... He ran a 100 mph trap against
me,
        and a 99 on his second. I heard on the loud speaker a trap
speed of 107
        mph...

        A pure luxury car, that'll wax a New Gen Camaro, Mustang, etc...
        Gotta love it!
