    This merits as much interest as the guy next to you at the stop light who roars away at green thinking he won the "race." Yeah.

    @Deartháir: Oh, I love that game. When I'm at a light next to, say, a Camaro or an S4 or a WRX, and I happen to pull off more quickly than him, I quite enjoy a Yaahhhhhh! Suck it, bitch! just as much as the next guy.


    I keep it to myself and to everyone in my car. It's just fun that way.

    You can't scare Mulally with anything less than a high-bypass turbofan engine at full throttle. Ballmer, however, probably craps his pants at the sound of a critical stop beep.

    Would have been better if it was a real crop dusting.*

    @aSoundofSleep: I thought crop dusting was farting and then slowly walking past some people so it disperses as you wander past, leaving them with the majority of the fart and wondering where it came from (as you are safely out of range by the time it's noticeable).

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: Speaking of Cobras- I was behind a Cobra on the Merritt heading through New Haven the other day. He was going slow, but I stayed behind him just because it sounded so good. I was waiting to hit the tunnel (at Sleeping Giant), hoping he would crack it. And he did. It was like a symphony as the exhaust note reverberated off of the tunnels walls.


    Right after the tunnel, he slowed down again, and I passed him, grinning from ear to ear.

    @leavethegun-takethecannoli: grab some stock 99 cobra springs for the IRS swap I have planned for my beater foxbody this winter.


    have to read it again... cobra springs in a non cobra/slushbox beater.

    @MD-V: And you need to work on reading comprehension. Fox bodies didn't have five-speed manuals for the first few years. I don't think he "popped down a gear" on his automatic transmission.

    They sure do seem excited about that Piece-O-Crap. You would think the head of Microsoft would get to ride around in a Limo, or fly around in a helicopter, not some crummy Ford.

    This sounds like a recipe for the unemployment line.


    And next time, if you're going to smoke the CEO of Ford, do it right: in the crappiest possible Camaro that you can find.
