Can't Sh*t a Sh*tter....
I have never heard anyone lay it on so thick in my entire life the other day.
I was coming home from CMU friday and I stop at the car wash in Davison and there is this 98+ white Z28 washing his car. I pull into the stall next to him and start to wash my car. He gets done and does this burnout in front of me and pulls over to the vacumm and starts to dry off his car. Yeah real cool. LoL. Anyways, I get done washing mine and I pull next to him to dry mine off and as soon as I get out of the car he asks if I want to race. I laugh and introduce myself and tell him where I am from. He just graduated this year and had the car for 8 months now. I asked him how he likes the LS1 engine and he looks at me and goes "actually its an LS6, I put an LS6 intake and cam in it" Hmm, yeah ok. Anyways, so he starts talkin about how bad his insurance is and payments and says he has 9 points on his license. I told him I don't have any yet but I got let go on the highway one time when I was lucky. He looks at me and says "I don't even stop for the cops on the highway anymore. I go 180mph and just keep going if I see one." I look at him kinda funny and then look at his tires and there cooper XST P245/50/R16's. I told him he better be careful going 180mph with those tires (like he ever went 180mph anyways) because those tires will blow. He said, "No man, there high performance tires" I told him, "No there not." He keeps arguing with me about it and finally says "Look I bet that truck over there has P on its tires." I told him, no it won't. And then he says "Look, on ur tires it will say R on it" I told him go ahead and look... He points at them and says "se...oh and I said, yes that says ZR" Then he looked at me and said "Oh well the cooper tires don't have to have that rating and P means high performance" He said he has been doing this for 4 years and he knows what he is talking about and I said "I thought u owned the car for 8 months?" He just started getting more mad and I told him to chill out I was just trying to help him with his car.
Then I asked what he ran in the 1/4 mile. He says "I run a 12.8 @130mph" 130mph! You should be in 10's I said. And he goes, oh i mean 115mph. I ran 130mph at the 1/2 mile strip. I asked, where is the 1/2 mile strip at? He said way up in Dixie and its not really a track, a guy goes on an old abondad road and then gets his equipment out and test runs your car for you. Its the only place up there to race. I said to him "I live in Mount Pleasant and Mid-Michigan Motorplex is 20 min. away and thats up north. He said, "Oh but this is way way up there" I just told him whatever and that I had to go and to have a nice day.
I never had someone lay it on me so thick in my entire life. He was just so closed minded about everything and he wouldn't listen to anything I said. He did not deserve to drive a domestic thats for damn sure.

LOL I know what you mean. I went to a family gathering one time and my sisters had a new boyfriend. I had my 440 6 pack Cuda then. I pulled up and he was checking it out. So he wanting to be the big man started telling me about when he had this 67 GTO back in the day that ran 8. second et at the track. I ask him what year that was and he told me 1970. I could not help myself and started laughing like crazy. He ask me what was so funny and I told him only rails and funny cars were running those times back then. Some people just like to try to be the man.

I'd need a few more hands to count all the times I've had guys like that try to BS me about their cars. Usually though, it's about cars they don't have anymore, or friend's cars. The guys talking about old musclecars are almost always the worst offenders.

I told him a little about your car Harold but he didn't want to hear about it really. Oh well, I am glad my gauge is in the mail.

Hmm... I haven't seen that guy cruising around, yet. But when I do I'll be sure to ask him for a race up to say 130mph, if he's running non-Z rated tires chances are he's got a speed limited car. he he... I see a couple of the same cars cruising around quite regularly in Davison though, a pewter WS6 convertible with dual dark stripes down the middle is one of them. That guy lives near Charter Oaks...

Ya, shame on you Eric. No one has the right to know that he was full of ****
It just doesn't make any sence to act like you know everything, when someone is trying to help you out. It is a nice looking car, and I was just trying to give him tips on making it better. Perhaps I should look him up & get some of his insight.
You get the guage yet?
