honest as the day is long.

Few days ago I roll up on my car, at this point I have a full catless header and overpipe with a muffled track pipe so its chopping pretty hard ( its quiet again)
But as I roll up through the base security, the guy takes my ID and as hes scanning it just mutters
"you know man, anytime you want just say the world and we'll race"

I laughed out loud and told him, its slower than shit, stock engine.
His eyes started questioning me.
I finally relented and told him I race in a spec class and cant modify the engine


grey lie.

the honest truth is im too mature to find excitement in street racing these days.
