Default SRT-4 kill...

Driving down I-10 towards San Antonio. In the fast lane and pass this SRT-4 and i hear a down shift and a BOV. I wait for him to come up next to me and i put up 3 fingers and i hear him start to honk it off. We go from about 40 or so and only get up to about 80-85 and i had a car on him before i had to slow down due to a car in front of me. Gave each other a thumbs up and we just cruised until he exited the freeway. I know he had an exhuast and BOV,thats about it though.

And my service engine light came on for a large Emissions Control System Leak...getting that checked out tomorrow.

You can make 'em fast, but ya can't outrun ugly!

I kid, skittles are much betters than lunchboxes (Calibers)

Hey, I know my car is ugly. I accept it. It's ugly, loud, and smelly. And I love it hahaha

At least it's not a glorified neon though
