One of the guys I work with drives a Toyota Celica with a fart can exhaust and a K&N filter (not intake, filter). He told me a while back it can do over 130, and when he bores the engine, it will do over 200.

Whatever. Anyway, the other day, he said the trunk was in the front. I told him I didn't know that, and he said "yea, the engine's in the back, it's RWD."

.......

So THAT'S why our cars are FWD, the engines in the front!

LOL, I love that "my mufler adds like 20hp or something" My responce to that ignorant statement is a pat on the head and saying "its ok, they have profesional help for you"

I work with a Honda guy too. He brags every week how fast his turbo Honda is. OK, it does run high 12s, but since he has worked here (18 months) I know he has gone thru 2 motors, 2 trans, 1 BOV, 1 turbo, front axles and more. For every day it is at work, it is broke for 5, must be nice living at home with mommy and daddy so you have no bills to pay for the crap you blow up. Everytime he wants to race, I say OK, but to Kansas City and back (400 miles). His car never leaves town cause it won't make it. Gotta love teenage ricers!

I'll never understand the ricer mindset either...the other day I heard the unmistakable "angry bumblebee" sound from inside my house, as this ricer was revving his engine. I looked outside and sure enough, there's this car, sportin' a blotchy House of Krylon ultra-flat black paint job(night camo), blacked-out windows, with exhaust tips large enough to hide small children in.. eek
He would drive down one side of the street, do a u-turn, and drive back, then another u-turn, etc. This went on for 15-20 minutes. I figured he was a. trying to diagnose a problem (doubtful), b. marking his territory, or c. his car was afraid to drive around the block. crazy
At any rate I found myself praying that his timing belt/chain would let go... devilsmile

You should have gone outside and started following him around in circles, and watch him unsuccessfully try to get away. lol

I had one guy at work (not a ricer, just a moron with no car) who told me once that he thought my car was RWD because of the way it put him back in his seat when I gave it gas.

...

No, that's just inertia, idiot. Newton's laws ring any bells?
