This had me crying with laughter today. (Rego plate)



This thing (POS) leaky exhaust, sounded like crap turns left onto an onramp trying to smoke and old Pajero... and lost..

Funny as... And the funniest part is, I was in my car... not the truck.. I SO badly wanted to embarrass his dumb ***..


FAIL!


On another cars you don't see... rather than, cars you don't see 'anymore' note...

I saw this AMG Merc turning left from a street in front of me, then he 'hoofs it' and man it certainly hauled ***.

I didn’t know if this is worth a new thread but for those that are interested this is a link to an Allan Moffat XA restoration. Definitely worth looking at and interested if anyone knows anything about this. I for one am looking forward to seeing the finished project.

Why?

Remember, there is always someone with a faster car than you!

It might have been slow, but looks pretty tidy. He probably loves it and to him thats all that matters

I guess it's just my competitive streak, if it moves I wanna play with it.


RE: Remember, there is always someone with a faster car than you!

Yeah, I guess your right. It just comes down to how much money you want to spend to have bragging rights.

The guy I challenged recently in this video:



Had a mad HSV VE Clubsport, freshly built Blown 6.2L, sporting a 'running in tune' making 385RWKW.

It was fun to be embarrassed, all the while knowing that he spent more on his supercharger than I did for my car.

My car feels quick, and for what it is, a stock supercharged 2GR-FE Aurion, it does ok. It's good to be brought back to reality now and then.




Now I'm just getting old disgracefully, and enjoying my 'taxi' for what it is.


Cheers,

Have a great day man.
