I was talking to this kid today who really has no clue about cars. He said he was talking to some kid with a prelude about my car and he said that neons are jap wannabes. I responded with a LOL and told him to tell the kid to put another V-TAK sticker on the windshield for an instant 50hp and 150ft lbs of tq. No point to the story just figured id share.

I enjoyed it. :lol: So many idiot kids around here, mainly last summer, would act like my car was, and I quote "A wannabe rice burner"....or they would just say "you drive a Neyawn" and pronoun Neon all girly.



And then when I smoked a couple modded Civics and paced an '05 Sentra SE-R SpecV......they didn't have anything to say. :lol:

^nice.

I kept up w/ my friends b16 swapped eg hatch a couple months back. I was in the neon. And when I was beside him in the volvo, he couldnt pass till I let off the gas :lol:

we are going to the track next thursday, but I cant decide which car to take, Id love to take the neon, to see if its any better w/ the header on there since I havent ran it since braggin rights 05 or if i want to take the volvo just so I can beat his honda. No one beleives that it might actually do it.

I've beat many of the honda rice burners around here. I think they are attracted to my car for some reason. This kid had a gsr and totaled it and bought a lude. What a downgrade. He should have bought an R with the insurance money. I have found out that there is no bargaining with these honda kids around here. There car is the fastest and no body can tell them any different and my car is a neon and just wish it was good enough to be considered a jap car.

We have a riced out lude at work that i drove yea its slow as shit. The car is on consignment. When the guy dropped it off he said that it was reaaly quick and he needed a slower car for a DD me and the other kid that works there (sponsored drifter) looked at each other and laughed. The car has dual fart cannons out the back that about it for performance mods. End rant.

So, did you actually say "LOL" or did you laugh out loud --- :lol: Sorry, wanted to ask. On a side note I ran into this guy at work the other day who was waiting for his pizza, and he stopped me on my way in from a delivery and started asking about my car. He said when he first saw it, he thought it was an srt4, and then started talking about how I may have toned down the looks to make it a sleeper :lol: Dude was cool though, he was from Atlanta and just moved here, and he use to own an 03 Spec-V which he did bunches of bolt ons too, and it did nothing to it, and then owned a 96 talon tsi... we talked for a minute or so and parted - he was pretty cool.
