Funny thing happened in Chicago...

[Hammer]

Well I'm up here in Chicago for work when I happen to hear 2 kids (18-22?) talking about how slow 96-98 Mustangs are...
I start laughing quietly and continue to listen...
Seems they both have imports, and while they won't race the 99 and above Mustang, they claim to lay waste to every 96-98 GT they see.... It was my call to action...

"Hey guys, I couldn't help but overhear your discussion. What kind of cars do you have?"

Both of them have civics with "chip, intake and exhaust".

"You mean a chip, cold air kit and a muffler with a large exhaust tip"

"Yea whatever..."

"What do you run in the quarter mile?"

"13s"

I chuckle...

"Have you ever been to the track?"

"No, but a guy I know who runs 12s beat me by a carlength..."

"Oh, OK... Well just for your information, until you actually have a timeslip, I wouldn't be quoting quarter mile times. And by the way, I happen to know a guy with a 98 GT who would rape you with 5 people in his car and groceries in the trunk."

"There's no way dude, 96-98 Mustangs are dead slow..."

"Well, whatever you'd like to believe, but to nearly quote Forrest Gump: Mustangs are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you'll pull up next to..."

With that I walked away and made a mental note to someday move somewhere where people don't recognize my car.
