Pet Peeve
My one pet peeve is the laungage these kids try to use today like NOS they think they know everything about engines because Fast and Furious Honda's.
One stupid 19 year old bought a ten pound bottle of nitro's and a soleniod to pump it in and thought he could put it into the air box itself. Guess what happened when he hit the buton poof. I bought from him for 25 buck's :toothy10::toothy10:
God only knows what some of these poor kid's will be doing ten years from now
Yegods, that drives me around the friggin' bend. We have a definite "tuner" culture around here, and while the wheather is getting warmer and some very fine classics are out and about, for every one I see, I see five or six godawful "tuned" grocery-getters.
Yesterday, it was a Blue Dodge Neon. With 13" 100spoke, gold widebody rims. A
gigantic aftermarket spoiler. White stick-on plastic flames up the doors. A neon-lit license plate frame. Oh, and let us not forget the coffee-can muffler tip.
Don't get me wrong, I like the Neon. It's a nice little grocery getter. Easy on gas, light on budget, and handles like it's on rails. I owned one for three years.
This one was butchered. It was utterly pathetic.
I just want to scream at them; "YOU HAVE FRONT WHEEL DRIVE! TAKE OFF THE SPOILER!"
Or, in the case of this useless excuse for a driver, who spent 5 minutes revving his engine in the parking lot at the grocery store.. "You have a 115bhp SOHC 4 pot, no one is impressed!"
Not to mention the damn 95 Saturn with all those "tuned" parts.. augh. Sorry, but giant rust holes do not count as "Shaving weight".
