I got about halfway down and started thinking, "Man, this sounds like Eric's car."

:D

jj_jonathon 09-30-2002 07:02 PM

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 :D

MidNiteBlu 5.0 09-30-2002 07:20 PM

Does sound alot like erics car...:D :D :D

Very Good!

Later,
Nick

Of course not. Well, Ralph Nader might have a problem with it.

Eric4Nitrous 09-30-2002 08:52 PM

lmao too funny Duece. Heard anymore from Karen lately?? :confused:

The Deuce 10-01-2002 12:15 AM

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.:confused:

Eric4Nitrous 10-01-2002 09:31 AM

I swear she's not in my trunk :)

1969Mach1 10-01-2002 09:48 AM

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. :D I never back down from a ricer and she was afraid of going fast..... maybe that's why she's my ex. lol :confused: lol :D

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.

Eric4Nitrous 10-01-2002 09:55 AM

at least you can get girls to ride with you. I give them money and they still don't wanna ride :eek: Maybe they don't like the idea of sitting on top of my nitrous bottles?? I could always tell them, they could be my bottle warmer :D

1969Mach1 10-01-2002 10:02 AM

hahaha... lol =) Ohh.. the woman love my car, and love going for a ride. :D 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. :D 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. :D

¡ìam.

Eric4Nitrous 10-01-2002 11:08 AM

I ask myself everytime i stage my car if i'm ready to die :) I wonder if god can hear me screaming I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die when i pull the chute hoping it will come out.lol

ultraflo 10-01-2002 09:18 PM

LOL... I was under the impression that you could NEVER have too much horsepower :D

Eric4Nitrous 10-01-2002 09:26 PM

I thought that too until i nailed the throttle :)

ultraflo 10-01-2002 09:29 PM

Well... if you need anyone to drive your beast for you, then I'm available ;)

10's have gotten awfully boring here lately... :D

Eric4Nitrous 10-01-2002 09:51 PM

I'll need to see your NHRA competition license :) and a deposit would be nice too.lol

ultraflo 10-02-2002 09:05 AM

...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 :D

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? :D

Eric4Nitrous 10-02-2002 09:09 AM

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. :)
