Mercury:

I liked your story - and your attitude - with this clown.

I've never understood why guys with relatively slow ricers always want to race our V-8 Mustangs that can usually kick their butt and embarrass them on the street, sometimes with friends in the car to compound the mortification.

Must be something about driving ricer imports that softens your brain or blinds you to the harsh reality that it takes a lot of work on a Civic to run with, much less beat a V-8 Mustang, and that's if the 'Stang is stock. Add some mods to that V-8 Mustang and the odds of a street-driven ricer blowing off a 'Stang on the street are small to none, as our members prove every day, all around the country. Sure, there are 10-second ricers (outside of the movies) and there are 7-second Mustangs, too, but not running you on the street, at a stoplight.

Anyway, I loved the 'Vented Radiator Cap' ploy. I can just hear this 'cool' clown asking his friends; "What's a vented radiator cap and what does it do to make you go faster?"

Good story. Thanks.
