Funny story

[jelms]

Not sure what is is about me but I always get random people coming up to me no matter what I am driving at the time asking questions about the car or asking for rides or money.

Tonight I'm at the ABC store and am walking out to the truck after getting my captain handle for the night and a guy walks up to me as I me unlocking my truck. He is actually parked next to me, and says "You think your Dodge can take my Ford?" I look at his F-150 and just look at him. He says "I took the restrictor plate off so I get 470hp" Not trying to be smug, I look at him and say there is a V10 Viper under that hood, you still want to try? He looks at me and say you got the Viper under there? I nod yes, and he say that's sweet. Nice truck and gets in his Ford.

My engine in still stock for now, but it is nice to scare some wannabe every once in a while

Good story just had one similar to it. Pulled into a parking lot and a guy I know was complimenting the truck. He had a nice looking Mega Cab. Told him his wasn't bad either. His response was "I haven't put as much money into it as yours."

"Naw except for a few little things it's stock." That when he noticed the viper powered on the hood.

It was kind of like a rat running up to a lion and saying, hey you think you are bad ass enough to eat me?

I have a restricter plate on my truck...it is usually called the fire wall...If I cut the fire wall out under my accelerator and can mash it another 6 inches, I should be able to get at least 1000 rwhp!:idea: :idea:

The guy driving the F-150 probably shouldn't have been driving. Sounds like he'd had too much to drink already.
