I havn't posted here in kill stories for quite a while, but I did have something cute happen to me a couple days ago, you guys might like it...
Pulled the 70 'Lark out of the garage and took it for a little spin, ended up on a particularly straight section of the local 4 lane with very light traffic.
Sitting at the light, a riced out something or other piece of jap crap pulls up beside me. It's got a fart can from hell on it... Either that, or no exhaust on it at all, in other words, it's buzzing like a mad swarm of hornets. Kid behind the wheel asks "Is that a Chevelle?" :af:
Naturally, I come back with the sarcastic lines we have all used,,, No, it's a buick....
Now, I'm running glass-packs and a nice little isky cam [262], so at idle, it's just got a little rumble... Not much more than stock,,, But I'v also got a 2500 converter in it.
The kid keeps blasting the "sake pedal" [that's sake, like the japanese alcoholic beverage], so I figure I'll have a little fun:Brow:
I drop it in low, and start loading up the converter. Once off idle, the glass packs really start to make a lot of noise. As the oposing light turns yellow, I lay into it good. The 4V comes alive, rear tires start to spin un-controlably, and the glass packs are just screaming with good old fashoned American V8 power!!!
Light turns green, and I let off the slow pedal, and lay a good 100 feet of rubber thru the inersection. Watching the guages, as I blast thru about 50 MPH, I glance into the rear-view and notice the ricer hasn't even moved... Just sitting there watching the show... Then he calmly turns on his left turn signal, and quietly exits down a side road never to be seen again.
Aparently, some ricers do know when to quit:laugh:
