In the 88 coupe 5spd before the swap and against my buddy's 91 5spd Explorer sport he pulled an easy 3 cars on me and he was tapping the gas in third to bounce the front end.

It's ok because now i, um, school school buses like nobody's business.

They always use the same lame excuses...

"I was trying to drop kids off"

or

"The flashing lights are on you POS!"

I just laugh and flip em the bird as i nail 3 gears through that school zone.












Just kiddin!!!

Since then I played with him after the swap and he refuses to run me in his 69 Mach1. I pulled him off the line with the lightning but he caught me in 3rd. Maybe if the 2.3 will run right I'll be good to go.
