I live in a smaller town than probably anyone on the boards here (less than 500 people) so I know where you are coming from. Myself and a couple other guys are the only hot rodders in town.

When I had my last Stang it was one of the fastest street cars around. The closest towns to me are 5 miles South, and another 5 miles North. The population of both of these towns is less than 2500 people I am guessing. I could go to either town and draw a small crowd. When the hood opened people were in aww. I didn't really think it was that much, but they seemed to.

But even though they are small towns there is still rice running around. I had one kid pull up next to me in a riced out 6cyl Stang with hydraulics. He was bouncing the rear of the car up and down driving beside me on the highway like he thought that was cool or something. I floored it and left him like he was sitting still then slowed back to speed. He never tried to catch up and stayed behind me like he was ashamed.
