My favorites are guys working at parts stores. Here are my favorite two...
About three months ago I walk into Discount Auto and the guy at the check out asks about my car, etc... Then says he has an 88 GT with 347 stroker, stock ported heads and lots of nitrous it was in the low 10's till I broke the water pump. So I ask him who did the cage in the car he says I don't like cages and never put one in. Then I ask him about running at moroso (local drag strip) and he says he has friends there that let him run without it! (Yeah right!)
About a month after that I get out to the track late one night and there is the kid with his "beast". I look at his tires, he's running BFG radials on stock turbines not exactly the stuff 10 second cars run on. So he makes a pass and goes 13.8@105. I talk to a couple guys at the track and they tell me that's his best pass yet. I told them about 10's and they laughed all night long!
Second and this is my favorite one. I go to Congress Auto and this kid as usual asks about my car I tell him it runs low 13's with pullies, exhaust and gears. He says that's what he has but in addition has a 125 shot also so he'd kill my car easy. I look out the window and he has a 96 GT auto with stock wheels/tires and stickers all over it. Also tells me his car will run 11's no problem. So I ask him to run me, he says his bottle is empty I tell him to fill it. He wouldn't, said it wasn't worth his time. Before I left I made a comment about needing a 300 shot to keep up with me (I was pissed at that point). Of course part way through our conversation he knows someone with a 8 second outlaw car and dominates the race circuit!
A few weeks later I caught him on the way home from work and he tried to keep up. Once from a roll and I just walked him by a good 3 cars. Second time from a stop, he purges the nitrous at the light and spun his tires till I was in 2nd gear and a good 10 cars in front of him. What a dork!
