YOu might have too much HP if....
YOU MIGHT HAVE TOO MUCH HORSEPOWER IF ...
1. The emissions test guy starts laughing as soon as you pull onto the rollers. 2. You can't drive your car in the rain. 3. Your 'significant other' is afraid to drive your car. 4. You are afraid to drive your car. 5. You spend more on tires than on food. 6. You spend more on car insurance than on house payments. 7. You look in a state police car and see a picture of your car taped to the dash. 8. You throw your underwear in the garbage rather than the hamper. 9. You have to go to the track to buy gas. 10. Your mechanic names the new wing of his shop after you. 11. Jacques Villeneuve and Michael Schumacher wave you by. 12. You can make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. 13. You're tempted to wear your fire suit just to drive to the office. 14. Red signal lights shift to green as you're approaching then shift back to red as you're receding. 15. You arrive somewhere before you left. 16. You get pulled over for doing 155 in a 35 but the cops will let you go if "they can look under the hood." 17. You remove the $2000 stereo system to save 6 lb. of weight. 18. You are not allowed to run in the Silver State Challenge. 19. You get an anonymous phone call asking if you are interested in being in the Cannonball Run. 20. Your face looks like you are riding a NASA centrifuge when you drive the car. 22. You need parachute braking. 23. Your 'significant other' won't even ride in the car. 24. There is no possible way to "sneak out" of your neighborhood at 6 am. 25. Your pets scramble for their hiding spots as soon as the garage door is opened. (Pets, and all the neighbors...) 26. Family photos throughout the house are replaced with life-sized posters of your car. 27. Fuel is delivered to your home: in 55 gallon drums! 28. You carry earplugs in your car.(doesn't everybody???) 29. The only spot on the car which receives any regular cleaning is the windshield. (what else is there to clean???) 30. You find out that side mirrors don't hold up at speeds exceeding 145 mph. 31. Young children cling to their mommies in fear when you round the corner. 32. Birds fall out of their nests from the rumble of your 5" dual exhaust. 33. All the major Tire makers are sending you free slicks in hopes of endorsment deal. 34. The UPS guy took to taking Steroids so he could keep up with your shipments. 35. The Fed Ex guy had a nervous breakdown. 36. All the wildlife within a 800ft radius around your house got the HELLOUT. 37. The nearest Geological Seismic Surveying Station Operator knows your address by heart. 38. A booming voice greets potential passengers with, "That's right ....you paid for the whole seat but you'll only need the EDGE. 39. The earth slows in rotation when you hook up on your new slicks and head east. 40. You have to screw your slicks to the wheels. 41. Your exhaust pipes are larger in diameter than your driveline. 42. Your fuel pump flows enough to water a golf course. 43. Your compression's high enough you could run diesel fuel. 44. The sparks from your wheelie bars start grass fires on the side of the road. 45. Your engine idles at 2800 rpm. 46. You measure the fuel you use in "gallons per mile." |

i was assuming that youd say "NEVER!"...but good ones...esp. the rain one...no tred, 1st gear, and the torque on a 90GT makes it nearly impossible to take off without losing your rearend

No, I haven't. I think I may call her shop (well try to anyway) and see if she is around. It's really strange, if you ask me.

hahaha.. lol I love that list. =) I will have to work my way threw it. I only qualify for a few of those, like the rain one and my ex hated riding in my car. I never back down from a ricer and she was afraid of going fast..... maybe that's why she's my ex. lol lol
I still havn't heard from Karen either, I havn't been on MSN much, or here to say none the less. Let me know if you hear from her. ¡ìam.

hahaha... lol =) Ohh.. the woman love my car, and love going for a ride. They just don't like being thrown back in there seat every light some punk kids try to race me in there Mom's Saturn. I'm more controlling when I have a girl in my car though, and I make sure everyone is fine with dieing at a young age as soon as they get in my car. I honestly ask anyone that rides in my car if there afraid of dieing. lol Ohh... well.

...what better vehicle to get certified in than yours! Don't you have to get one for 9's??? If that's the case, then I better wait until spring '03
Deposit? I'll deposit some race gas in your fuel cell??? LOL I know how nice it would be to stand along side your very own ride and watch someone launch it for you and make their way down the 1320.... but you prolly feel like I do, that is, no one drives my car but ME! Thanks for the offer though... wait, uh... nevermind? |

Yeah if you go 9's you'll need a NHRA license. I'd let you drive it. It's not really hard to drive at all. Plus it would be some good experience for you.
