Last night I noticed some guy in a Dodge Intrepid driving like an ***, so finally we caught a stoplight, so I figured I would try and take him off the line. It turned green and we took off. I didn't torque break, I didn't shift the auto manually (I kind of thought I might not need to), I just floored it. That proved to be enough He was definitely trying, that engine was loud, I had the windows down and could hear his engine over mine and the music. Anyhow, by the time I was at 65 he was a car length + behind and I was pulling away easily. He gave up.

Also, I just noticed I am no longer a newbie, finally

 

wooohoooo!!!!!

congrats on the Intrepid kill and your graduation

 

Congrats on both

 

congrats

 

Hehehe Now we're going to have CL-S, TL-S, Passat, and Intrepid owners over here.

Congrats!

 

 

the more the merrier, it always makes for an interesting discussion...right before it gets out of hand and has to be locked.

 

Next time - brake torque and manually shift so you can beat him by three cars. That way when he goes back to the Intrepid forum he won't be able to say (a la some of our competitors) "I really wasn't trying to race . . . " And " If I had really raced, I would have beaten him . . ."

 

BRING THEM TO MEEEEEEE!!!!...muhahahaha

 

HHHEEEEEEEEE'S BAAAAACK!
Down Boy!

 

Dodge Intrepid = Land Yacht

 

I originally wanted to buy the Intrepid before I got real serious about purchasing a car. To me, it looks nice and aggressive. But my mechanic buddy told me not to do it and my girlfriend hated the styling (she says it looks like an egg cut in half), so I dropped it from my mind.

Good thing I didn't go that route.

 

Easy there big guy...

In my opinion... american cars are fast, but styling, quality, and workmanship are lacking compared to import cars. The only american vehicle I would buy is a truck or a van... maybe

KyMAXSE, Nice kill!!!
