    Talking burnt rice

    After reading about a few kills, I thought I'd post a few of my own.....not to mention my hatred for those toys on the road that sound like weed-eaters.

    Decided to take the long way back to base one night. Being a rear mounted turbo it's hard to ignore the obvious turbo spool even while EASING up to speed. Some punk in a CRX of all cars decides he wants some. I was grateful he was on my right side for the simple fact that the turbo, along with the dumped wastegate, is on that side. I figured he'd punch it and after he did, so did I. His windows were down so he got an earfull of turbo SCREAM, which I found out at the dyno is VERY loud, but not for long as I pulled a few truck lengths on him within seconds (just estimating here) and then I was gone and he was flashing his lights at me which I am assuming means he surrendered. He caught up at the next red light, which I waited at for a while, and of all things to say he asked me how much I paid for the turbo......."enough" I responded. A similar episode happened the next day with a Civic and few months later it was a RSX-S. When will these guys learn that you can't make power, and especially not torque, with 4 cylinders, a fart can, and no hub caps?

    I can agree to a certain extent, but I love killing import drivers' egos by outrunning them in a truck In the end, even if I lose......I drive a truck and I'm not afraid to lose. Plus if you ask me, those 4 bangers just sound horrible
