I like messing with the fart cans and huge wings with the plastic hub cap spinners once in a while. It's fun!!! Other than that it's nice to see them when I'm having a bad. It makes me laugh just today I saw a lowered ram with a ricer wing on the back and laughed my ass off. Just the other day a sebring I think with a huge wing and a window sticker that said viva racing. That one was interesting.

I love the stickers that say "racer inside" that are usually on the rear of a civic or something.

As a sportsman class drag racer back in the day, I too am NOT a fan of street/stoplight racing but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy a 1 - 2 redline blast from time to time :evillol:

One of the many guilty pleasures of my Hennessey 575 6.2 Raptor is looking at the faces of the guys that don't expect a 6k # truck to be fast. My truck is not badged with any free Hennessey advertising etc. Except for the whine, it's pretty much a sleeper.

Case in point: The other day, a beautiful and BADASS looking SRT8 Grand Cherokee was in front of me at the light. With a good driver, he probably beats me by a couple of lengths in the 1/4 from a standing start. We turned left and entered a long 2 lane freeway onramp with him in front of me and no other traffic in sight. As I pulled into the left lane and started to accelerate, he stood on it. I was in full boost and right in the RPM sweet spot by that time. I shot past him and kept pulling (going uphill) until we backed off at about 100 mph. The look on the guys face as he pulled along side me a mile down the road was PRICELESS!

It's the little things that make me smile!:Big Laugh:

P.S. Those SRT8's are slick as hell!! If it weren't for the Raptor, I'd be looking.

A guy in a Lexus SUV was riding my ass on a 2 lane. We hit a stop sign at the four lane and I swung right into the slow lane. Looked back and he was right on my ass then swung into the passing lane. By that time I was going straight and at a good fast roll. I nailed it, wound it up and clicked the cruise when I hit the 55 speed limit. It was a fair amount of time when he finally blew by me. Made my day.. probably not his after getting toasted by a truck!!
