So I took the day off Tuesday to celebrate my wife's birthday. We're cruising down the road in traffic and a guy in a pick-up truck on the passenger side motions us to roll down the window.
He starts talking to us and saying how he's chipped his truck (350 hp, 465 lb-ft or some-such) and even chipped he can't keep up with us (caught us at a stop light) and how he's got a buddy with a GTO and how fast, and on and on.
And I'm noticing more and more how other car nuts take notice. Another time we were at a local ice-cream joint where both ricers and hot-rodders hang out. I was picking up Chinese right next door and the ricer kids were really going over the car as we came outside...
I've been tuning and hot-roding Swedish Meatballs (Saab turbos) for years and have NEVER gotten reactions like this! Very cool!
