serious question for those of you with suped up cars

[mistle]

i was at a stoplight the other day waiting for it to turn green and i looked out the window for a couple of seconds and when i looked back up it was green and in the rearview mirror i saw an old black bmw all tricked out to look "badass". obvious douche car. and this 40-ish guy driving it was shouting and throwing up his hands like "COME ON! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!" and as i drive to the supermarket the guy is right behind me all the way, looking really annoyed. when i stop at the parking lot he does too and for a while we just sit there. him staring angrily at me and me trying my best to look like i don't even know he's there. so he gets out (of course the guy is huge and he's obviously the old school get-drunk-in-bars-and-pick-fights kind of douche. wifebeater, flat top haircut, bad goatee, barbed wire tattoos) and starts walking back and forth staring in my direction and i'm all freaking out and trying to think of any way i can possibly win a fight against this guy (like throw my cds in his face, kick him in the balls and stab him with a pen) when he decides to go to the entrance of the supermarket and hide behind a flower stand and wait for me. my mood is instantly better as he is clearly dumb as a rock and looks like a moron standing there hunched over thinking i can't see him when i very clearly can. just as i decide fuck it i'll go somewhere else he storms to his car, slams the door and drives away. i don't know why i wrote all that. nothing actually happened. moral of the story is: people with douchey cars are douches

I dunno, I think it's a pretty bad-ass video of a Supra's 2-step.

I also say that when there's some douche in a giant ass fucking truck that he's suped up to look all huge and intimidating.

Once, after a bad day, one of these jerks cut me off and then slammed on his brakes because the light was red. I went around him and he started revving up his truck, and I yelled, "I'm sorry your penis is so tiny!" and then turned right. The look on his face was kind of awesome, actually.

i assume every man i meet has a tiny penis until i've seen otherwise.

duovamp, can you explain that video a bit? i don't really understand the point, the car isn't moving

why you be thinking of every mans penis?

[bardy]

I like the suped up trucks with the ballsacks hanging off the back

[wounded]

i saw the most ridiculous spoiler (sp?) on the back of a honda civic once. it was absurd how high and big it was.

It's a video of what's called a 2-step. Really high-end drag cars that use turbochargers have aftermarket software on the computer that controls their engines. What happens is the driver has the computer run a program before the car launches that tells it to do all kinds of weird stuff to the engine. Without getting too in-depth, it forces the engine to backfire, which blasts air through the car's exhaust, more than if the car were just revving its engine in neutral, and it's hotter (so moving faster). That gas then forces the turbocharger to spool up to an acceptable level of boost. After two or three quick loud bangs the driver normally would release the clutch and the car would be off - vroom vroom. But this guy's just showing his off for the camera.

I'd probably make some arrogant comment about him being a chotch douche bag wife beater bitch and end up getting my ass handed to me.
