Ol' 'Bird killed by my Sleeper
This is a pretty Long story, BUT belive me....It Sure is Worth It
Read On!.....
Well it all started when my older brother moved in, he got a house in Burlington, Wisconsin...not too bad...well anyhow, he has a neighbor across the alley. Now this guy is a typical guy, that you stereotypical people would think of being a guy from Wisconsin. He's got a mullet, named his kids after ACDC, and drives a Firebird from the late '70s early '80s. Everytime I hang out at my bros house, I look outside, and there he is...with is arms crossed and a cigarette in his mouth.....Not to mention His SHITZU DOG running around in the backround......I laughed my ass off, but anyhow....Everytime he comes home, he revvs his car, turns the wheels juuuuuust right...and shuts her down...when he leaves, he squeels out....All of the neighbors, including my brother revv their cars, whatever they are, just to mock him...its pretty funny......I came outside after seeing him there pretty much....I know him pretty much, they have parties in the alley and I go. I said "Whats Up Dave?" and he just says nothin much blowin me off. The next time I came in my own ride...a 95 Ford Contour LX, with the SVT High-Output Engine...other modds too, like exhaust (tell ya later).....so I pull up, sure enough he is out there...I roll down my window... and Blow some flames.......sweet Flame-thrower exhaust set-up.....he just kinda smiles, and one of his kids come out.....He said "Wow, I knew that came from Milwaukee when I heard it." Whatcha tryin to do, turn it into a rice grinder?" I just looked, when in to my bros house and told him that was it.
I went outside and talked to him, about cars. I talked about his car, and he talked about mine, tellin me what was wrong with it.....he couldnt find anything, so he said it was a Ford (remember that). We popped our hoods, I got my bro and friends...To settle it, I wanted to race just to shut him up...He agreed with me, but he had some relative do it (just so I couldn't say I Beat HIM). Well we went out to the backroads, and Dave didnt go with, His relative lead the way...We found a street by some farms, a little ways out of town, and we set it up. My brother went to the other end and started the race, we rumbled, and whined our engines, just taking a glance at each other...
I revved mine to about 4000, and smirked.
My brother dropped his arms, and we dropped our foots. We sat and span, so we let off and pounded it...
I was a car length ahead of in 1st... and shit.....my brother Yelled, Truch Truck Truck !!
He told the guy to watch out, thinkin he would get mad.
The guy pulled off and we met up with him, apologizing.
He said, "what are ya guys doin? Drag racing?"
I looked at him and said "Yeah"
guessing he would snitch I just stared at him...
He said..
"Whoa! CooooL!" like a 10yr old.....I laughed, and he said, "I guess my truck couldn't do it huh?"
We just laughed and started at that end again.
We all agreed that since we spun out last try, we would do a rollin start, now for sure he thought he had me, I put up my three fingers...
3, 2, and 1.....ending with the middle one,like a smart-ass....
I stayed in 1st, was ahead, then 2nd, hes comin up
3rd, almost to the end, then to fourth....I was pretty much ahead, but then I double-clutched, an ingenious tactic I had learned from this very site...I whooped him, I whooped him bad...
We drove back and talked about it, and of course, Like I said he would.....He said "If IIIII was driving, then IIIII would have beat ya." I just said whatever....and then I said "Im coming back (meaning this summer) and I am racing YOU, and be prepared." He just smirked.
Well Now, I talked to my brother and he told that he's got a brand new Mustang in his garage, that he revvs all the time, and buffs and shines everyday...
Actually if I had a nickel everytime he shined, I'd probably go get a new Ferrari.....
But anyhow, its a Ford, which he said He would ABSOLUTLEY NEVER drive, I guess by beating him by a Ford, I must have persuaded him.
When I asked him, he said it was his "Wifes", and I said
"Sure, just like that dog."I am not scared of his Mustang, dont get me wrong, its a GT and I guess its quick...But not when youve got a Turbo...
I hoped you like my story of the Ol' "Bird killed by my sleeper........
