Did you read m whole story? Some random guy start talking to me and comparing 86 to absolutely irreverent sports cars (Veyron, Testarossa, Supra). If it was whole 86 talk then, it would of been good conversation, BUT whole time that dude was comparing w big engine big power sports car.

I know the type there was this guy I went to high school with who was trying to tell me that Supras are more designed for drag racing than muscle cars are

Whats worst is he was bragging about how he drove 360km per hour in his stock 94 golf auto.. I converted it for him letting him know thats around 220 mph which would make his car like the 4 fastest thing at the time (no veyrons or aero tt) he would then try and recover by saying he was mistaken by his 360 km claim and what he really meant was 320km

Thats were I gave up talkin to him forever

Any sort of bench racing by magazine numbers, I usually just start drooling and punching myself in the head. "Dude, but for $XX,XXX that the M3 is more expensive I could buy a [insert FI here] and totally waste it with my Suzuki Kizashi!"

A hardcore pro life guy went into a half hour long rant after he asked my stance and I told him I didn't care. He started pulling books out of his bag and calling me ignorant when I told him I didn't want to read them. He gave me the cliffs anyway and cited all sorts of horrible details then got red in the face and stormed off when I said I still wanted to kill babies.

AMD vs. Intel. PS3 vs. XBox. Coke vs. Pepsi. Mustang vs. Camaro. Han shot first.

Is this related to Star Wars of Cap. Han Solo? or was this related to that Han guy in Fast and Furious?

Correct

When idiots argue like this, sometimes I'll make up just the most out of this world story that never happened. It's even better when they act like they heard about it.
"What? You didn't hear about that AE86 they put two 2JZs in and it makes almost 2000 horsepower? Where have you been?"

How is the Han shot first even an argument? In the original he clearly shot first. It is an insult to Greedo's professionalism (and therefor Han's, by being cornered by him) that he misses from 2 feet away in the cleaned up 'improved' versions.

Screw you, Lucas!

(Next he's going to want to edit out Indiana Jones shooting the last swordsman in Raiders of the Lost Ark...)

Oh, and dual 2JZs would be closer to 3200 hp.

What's that Bugatti? You've got quad turbos? Well, I've got TWIN 2J's!!!
