I'm guessing she had amputated that bad leg?

A few nights ago, I had two heavyweights in my car for the first time. Both girls were on the passenger side. I usually have my seat always in one setting but I almost had to check because I honestly felt I was half a centimeter taller! I was about to offer to do some donuts in the parking lot that night but thought the better of it. Later in the night, I swear, one time going up that hill in 6th was fine. That night, it barely made it as some guy behind me wanted to race. I'm not sure though.


It will soon be time for a turbo to avoid sluggish real world acceleration. I inquired about an RC-F today and figure 450 pounds of passenger in a 4000lb car might not have as much of an effect as a 2700lb car
Dude you're rolling with fat chicks 24/7 thats why lol

Actually we were walking for a couple hours straight. I'm not surprised if she knows an orthopedic surgeon or two.

I'm not sure what the definition of fat is now. Read an article that the average woman today weighs as much as the average man from the 60's.


I'm not going to ask about your level of serendipity so far.

an average healthy lady should weight between 98-130 pounds depending on the height which is from 5'2-5'8.

The national average however is more like 160 pounds, which is far too heavy

Ugh. So some 240sx (modded to look like a silvia s14) with a loud fart cannon nearly ran off the road trying to "intimidate" me while turning onto my road. I'm half tempted to find their house and slash the tires.

Fair enough. They ruined a nice car. Seriously. It has a tacky paint job (though that's subjective I guess haha). It's ridiculously low, and that exhaust. I am curious how quick it is, though.

Could be a trolling sleeper. But from what you described how they drive, probably just some dumb idiot ricer trying to be cool.

I would guess that I'd be the sleeper with my setup. lol But that is very possible.

Some kid at the stoplight near my house yelled at me when we were both at the light. I didn't hear what he said because I had my windows up. Then all I heard was his trucks engine Rev up. So I sthought why the hell not race this guy and lose. I turned off traction and didn't launch my car, but revved to redline in 1st and 2nd and the guy tried to keep up but his truck couldn't keep up. At the next light he pulled behind me and didn't feel like talking. being beat by a stock 86 must have made him sad

Just having some fun

Please, don't hang me for grammar lol..

I was turning south on a service road at a 4-way when a red Cobalt SS decided to tailgate me. We all know, people always expect this car to be a rocket... As he closes in on me, I decided to stay on the service road instead of taking the ramp onto the highway. I knew this guy wanted to have some drag racing fun but I got a better idea.

I continued on the service road and he rocket pass me at 70mph, onto the highway. This stretch of service road is my daily route and its got some good curves, valleys, hills, dips and no entry/exit for the next 1-2 mile. It's empty with very little traffic since they had it closed ahead.

As he enters the highway, I down it and went for it. He dodges traffic and I swings through curves, hills and dips. To his surprise, I was able to catch up and tailgate him instead. He then try to lose me and cut traffic left and right.
