No worries. If that kid ever set foot in this forum, I doubt he'd last more than five minutes. You should see what happened to the kid who wanted to know how to install a body kit he was paying for with daddy's money.

I'm sure anyone of you guys would have done the same with this dude. As in the OP you can see I wasn't out looking to race anyone I was just cruiseing around when they ran up on me and started their crap. I've been into building and modding cars for 25 years now so I know what cars not to mess with and I know what cars aren't worth my gas, his was the later.

I enjoy having it out with all the riced up Grand Ams, Cavaliers, Civics, Accords etc. running around here from time to time.

I usually mind my own, but when they instigate, I can't resist putting them in their place. Nothing makes my day more than the look on some Integra kid's face when he gets put back in line by a "grandpa car."

All day everyday twice on sunday

For the most part I think G8 drivers are a bit more...shall I say grown up over a lot of the younger ricer boys. Lol, I personally wouldn't try to race a Ford Explorer with my Max with 4 people in it. The extra weight kills the performance in these cars. I'm guessing with the G8 even loaded down with 4 people the performance isn't affected as badly because of the torque from the V8. I know my brother-in-law's Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8 doesn't seem to care how many people are in it. 420ft. lbs. of torque will do that though.

I remember when we jammed me and four other people into my Maxima. It felt like I had downgraded to a Prius.

Oh, and the car loved to bottom out at highway speeds over the smallest bumps.

There's an obvious cost to income relationship involved here that can be extrapolated into driver age. That's why the average (chronological) age of Corvette owners is 49 to 63. There are certainly other factors which contribute to Corvette ownership, some of them anatomical... but I digress.

dude those add like 25+ hp per port. the only reason he lost was probably because he got a bad batch of turbo ball bearing grease, he'd have pulled a Steve Austin on you otherwise....

Steve Austin?

maybe i should have been more precise

Stone Cold Steve Austin

Oh. I had to look up who Stone Cold Steve Austin is. He's a wrestler. Ironically, he's my age, too.

Crap, I'm old.

Haha you'd never heard of him before?

It's okay. He had his glory in the nineties. When I was a kid.

He pretty much disappeared after '98. The only reason I knew who he was was because my best friend in grade school liked wrestling.

No, man. For me, the name Steve Austin will forever be Lee Majors as the Six Million Dollar Man. Better, stronger, faster, na-na-na-na. His tin lunch box was classic. (I had David Carradine as Kung Fu on mine.)

1970's television. It's hard to get that stuff out of your head.

Huh. Last starring role I've seen Lee Majors in was the movie Out Cold.

I had no idea he was 70. Could've fooled me. Dude looks like he's in his late 50's.

I really like some 70's TV shows. I know it's before my time, but it's 1000x's better than a lot of the garbage that's on today.

There's garbage, but there's also some really good stuff out there today: Fringe, Modern Family, Lost, etc. So what if there's also crap like America's Got Talent... it's like our new Gong Show.

There's some new show on TNT called Southland that I really like. And CSI catches my interest every now and then. Futurama and Family Guy are good for a few chuckles too, I suppose. I just don't watch much TV in general.

Lost was okay until they started the whole "time-travel" thing...

...did you ever notice when the 5th gen crew (you, me, Moncef, Grand_Hustle, etc) get our hands on a thread, it always somehow manages to go spiraling off topic?

Well I do not have any 5th gen related questions at this time so I figure I'd like to give back to the community

i guess i should apologize since i used the whole "Steve Austin" comment but the main topic of this thread has pretty much been beatin to death

B

Oh, no worries.

Have you seen the "GHustle I'm Coming For You" thread? That thread's gone to hell and back as far as its direction.
