Get your BS flags ready for this one...
so on my way to the gym again (seems like the time I always get action)
4 lane road with a turn lane in the middle.... low and behold a red light with a grey Magnum R/T in the other lane, "oh joy!" I think to myself and briskly turn off advancetrac
look over as I come to a stop and see an older guy... he looks, and kind of nods... I get depressed, but pop over to selectshift just in case (leaving it in regular automatic is different from muclecars/sportscars, the shifting IS faster than normal and you can run it into higher RPM's... plus the faulty automatic with the electronic TB takes forever to find the right gear)
long story short light turns green and I roll out of the gate briskly... but not hard, @ about 5MPH I hear tires screeching and a big blinged out silver lined dodge grill sailing up, in first @ around 5MPH I floor it, he floats next to me till halfway through 1st then falls back a 1/2 car going into second... through second I pull another half a car, go into third and the car seems to level off behind me and hold it's ground a car and a half back, then he has to let off for a jeep.... the whole race was 0-80MPH and I'm sure once in the triple digits his 340BHP would have started catching up.... as you know granny gold is no stranger to stangs and the shock factor of staying next to the new edges kind of wore off... this rekindled the shock factor with granny gold for me.... happy, but shocked
and before the dodge boys come in and fly the BS flags I might also like to add that I understand I beat the driver... my lincoln ran a best of 14.7 @ 98MPH on a 2.4 60ft and I understand the magnum R/T's are capable of braising the high 13's... and before the questions start flying I have no idea whether the car was manual, AWD, or what... all I can tell you is the badge wasn't a plain RT like I've seen a lot on the magnums... it was the fancy blinged offset R/T, not sure if that signifies anything on the trim level or not
CLIFF NOTES:
#1 beat a stock 5.7L Dodge Magnum R/T 0-80MPH by a car and a half
#2 looked like he was starting to reel me in at the end of third
#3 I understand he had a faster car, I am surprised with the outcome
#4 I count front bumper to rear bumper one car length if anyone is wondering

I was just giving you a hard time man. I honestly only recall one pic I seen of you and it was of your flat stomach. Made my chubby hard. 
Which one is you in the second pic? Either way, you made a vast improvement. *humping leg* And don't pose for bicep pics until you get a nice bicep.

and yeah I know, I'm trying :-/
my goal isn't to get super huge... just toned, happy so far though
98 is full of the funny comments today
-I almost clicked on Morbid's pic link but then I thought "why in the hell would I be clicking a link to see another dude with his shirt off?"
edit: Got bored and clicked it anyways. Glad there wasn't a lot of homo-ness in the pics. You really have made a dramatic change!
