Default Definite First Kill!!!

OK So yesterday I attended the 1st ever Hoover Dam Car Show. Yes, my baby girl was in it, and actually quite a few people took interest in her. I still don't know why, as there were several '06 - '08 vehicles and several much older than mine in the classic range. But it still made me feel good nonetheless.

Well on the way home, a guy pulls next to me at a red light and starts revving his engine and looking over at me then down the road. There's a stretch of road that's about 1/2 mile straightaway. So I gave him my "let's go" look because I was pumped from the car show as it was. My girlfriend was with me in the car and she said "Show this guy how it's done".

Now mind you, I made some VERY minor tweaks to my engine *AT* the car show like doing an adjustment here and throwing an adjustment there. Nothing big. I have my '96 Vert 3.8L and he had a Chrysler Sebring obviously modified from the sound of the engine. The light turned green and I decidedly beat him off the line, but he was able to keep up with me for the most part. At the end of the 1/2 mile straightaway, I had him beat by about 1/2 a car length.

I know it wasn't much, but a win is a win is a win. I definitely felt good after that one, and after being pumped already from the car show? I had a DAMN good day yesterday!!

You also have to understand disguise that there are problems with this car that I still need to work on. Problems with fuel delivery and other such things like IAC Valve. Give me time.

well congrats on the kill! and congrats on the people checking out your car at the car show.. I hope you got some compliments! I went to a car show yesterday and there were some cars that shouldn't have been there.. mostly all classic very nice gorgeous cars..a couple of delorens then there were a couple of Jettas and a couple riced out cars.. and a crx with no visible mods other than a CAI going along the fender, still dirty.. as long as your car inside/out/engine was clean then nice job! oh.. I also saw an s197 GT with a racer boy wing on it and a K&N Intake and an autozone antenna and dirty engine bay. I also felt didn't deserve to be in it..
