Funny thing happened in Chicago...
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.

A friend of mine had a good one the other day! We watched a bunch of ricers drive by, they all had big wings, funny paint, goofy looking exhaust, and the wheels looked like they had no tires. He said, "Hey, I didnt know the circus was in town, look at all the clown cars."
I had never heard that before, I died laughing. That is a fitting decsription though. Now everytime I see a rice mobile, I just picture a clown driving! heheheh Andy

Chicago rice encounter
Hammer
Good post...thanks. Your encounter points up the fact that for many ricers, ignorance is bliss. They know nothing but what other ricers tell them. I loved your totally accurate description of rice-boy mods: A chip, a cold air kit and a big exhaust tip that they describe as 'a chip, intake and exhaust'. Well done. The quarter-mile times were equally amusing. A friend claims he does 12's and he beat me by a carlength. Blind leading blind and the sad part is that they really believe all this nonsense. No wonder there's such a chasm between ricers and Mustangers. Your report from the front bears out the misinformation and plain idiocy that fuels it. |
