He was dead serious tooI would've lost it before telling you something like that.
Well that's true, but this thing looked legit like a drag car, similar to this:Well he could... into a wall.
Just remember guys & gals. Don't talk **** until you see what's under the hood.
I have no ideaHow in the hell could he think that? The Lincoln Town Car is so slow! When I floor mine it's like gently pressing the gas on the F150.
. It's a 1987 model, he says it goes pretty good except up hills haha.They move alright, but still
He told this to me, and the guy that owns the Maverick is the same guy that owns the 1976 Cobra II I posted here before a few times lol, and a bunch of dirt race cars and other Mustangs and fast Fords lol

Quick question... not related but... my dad and I rebuilt my 1968 about 12 yrs ago, and I wasn't really interested as I was just a kid into video games not cars. So, he rebuilt it and I inherited the beauty.. Unfortunately I had to sell it as I was moving around gaining experience from all over the world.
Now... I want to have that experience/joy of rebuilding my own car. And I was thinking of rebuilding an Olds 455.
So the question is... should I? Is it worth it? I never experienced the power of a 455 so.... what do you guys think?

My father once had a Jet Boat from the 70's with an Oldsmobile 440. Granted, it was on the water, but it felt like it would probably do an alright job of moving a car along...

Ok I've got another one. I was driving down the road in my grandmothers 96 Camry. This car is an old lady car to the max complete with tan paint. My brothers also in the car with me. We pull up to this stop light and this Mustang pulls up next to us. The Mustang was a v6 and maybe an 06-07 model not really sure those models really didn't change much until I think 09. Anyways I could tell this guy thought he was a hot rodder so I started messing with him by revving my engine. After I did he went nuts revving his engine. Now before I go farther in my story let me inform ya'll that we weren't the first at the stoplight we had a set of cars in front of us. So the greenlight comes and he tears out, does a nice peel out and then almost slams into the van in front of him. My brother and I were laughing our asses off. The moral of this story if you're going to race stoplight to stoplight make sure no ones in front of you.

Yes.
But first you should start with a small engine. If you've never actually built an engine before you've got a lot to learn. Start be tearing down an old lawnmower or ATV engine. Once you learn the basics then move on to the big stuff.
Build up a small block V8. Sell it if you don't want it.
Do it again. Sell it again. At this point you are pretty well off.
Now you are ready to build a big block. You know your way around a motor. That said, aftermarket is not cheap for Olds engines, so prepare to have a thick wallet because you are going to need it.
270hp from a big block Marine engine? Somethings wrong lol Small blocks were pumping that out.

The other night my friend and I went to Dave and Busters. In parking lot we saw this truck that had a flashlight duct taped to the trailer hitch pointing at his rear license plate . It was so ghetto. My friend turned it on. You know so people could see his license plate.

So on Yahoo I'm debating this guy about whether or not Honda is the new Toyota. He thinks it is, I don't. Well in his last post he told me that he grew up in Japan and he knows a lot more about the JDM scene than most Americans. I asked him if he even knew what JDM stood for.

But, what he fails to realise, you can be born in Japan and still be an idiot. Honda isn't turning in to Toyota as Honda doesn't have Pikes Peak program, a rally program, a sports car (The NSX will be a Supercar. The BMW/Toyota may sort that out) and Hondas aren't as nice cars inside or out. Basically, this whole RICEr thing doesn't matter anyway. As they just ruin them
Have I ever told you I loved you

It's funny cuz the guy was sort of making some sense at first but then he killed it with the JDM comment. He also kept retracking his statements from Honda doesn't offer anything really powerful from the factory to when I pointed out that Honda never really has done that and they always rely on the aftermarket. After I said that he started acting like that's what he was saying all along. I told him if Honda becoming the new Toyota have you ever driven the new Corolla? I did as a rental one time it's awful. Numb steering, terrible brakes, and no acceleration at all. I think he should get labeled as a ricer and deserves a place on this thread.
Don't you think it's a bit soon. I mean we hardly know each other.lol That story was actually one of my favorites. I couldn't believe how dumb this guy was. It actually would have been funnier if he had hit the van in front of him but oh well he didn't.
But he sure came close!

Yeah and the salesman told me not to buy one because they were pretty much the same as the base models.

So about 5 years back when I was a senior in high school there was this guy who we'll call Don (not his real name) but I don't give away real names online. Don was a nice guy and I had actually been sortof friends with since about 8th grade. Well Don bought an OZ rally Mitsu Lancer. Pretty nice car. It was an auto by the way. Well over time he riced it out body kit and then exhaust. He finally got the body kit painted to match the car so then it didn't look so bad. But like any ricer he thought his car was fast and he'd try and race you if he even thought you were glancing in his direction. Well I was coming back from lunch one day and who do I see going down the road? Don. So I fly by him and start to turn onto the service road that leads back to the high school and of course he's trying to catch up. My car by the way was a stock 04 Civic Ex coupe auto. (I didn't know how to drive a stick at that time). ( I do now). Anyways on the service road we line up and do 3 honks from about 30mph. He pulls ahead for a bit, but then I catch up and end up smoking him in the end. It was so funny cuz he was trying to make up excuses for why he lost. Priceless!

Alright, I got a quick story from today.
Eating lunch my local MacDonald's when a guy in a 1.0 Corsa with "Phat pipes" and "Stance" (this stance was down to the wrong suspension, this also made his car under steer at legal road speeds. He said "It's just so quick, innit?" Because of this...) he was playing Gangnam Style really loud and was in the car trying to look badass, with a Red Bull racing cap and a Lotus F1 polo... In a Corsa.
He was joined by his mate in a Saxo, in all it's yellowish-orange glory. Him and his mate revved their engines and laughed, then called the guy in the M5 (F10 too!) an idiot. They sat revving their engines for a bit as the F10 parked up. One out his car into reverse to spook the M5 driver. Didn't work. They went "Oi mate, bet its just a diesel PAHAHAHAHAHA" so Mr. M5 revved his engine (had a nice aftermarket exhaust system, not too loud, just nice) they stood with Big Macs in their hands, jaws on the floor. The M5 owner said "I wouldn't have a turd in that colour" and pointed to the Corsa. He walked off and the two "Roared" off to ASDA. To do the same.

Legacy, that story was hilarious. That's a ricer right there. If you see a M5 or any powerful car or truck, don't talk trash about it.
Great stories guys. Keep it up, hopefully I see more ricers and their moronic antics soon. Or more YouTube videos.👍

I've had a few run ins with the ricer community over the years. There seems to be a lot of them round where I live.
I was out in my car waiting at the lights, two lads pull alongside in a 1.2 Punto with some form of "music" blasting out. They turn it down and the driver says to me "wanna race pal?" I look over and say "sure" his friend in the passenger seat says to me "you won't have a chance in that banger mate". Bear in mind my car is 30 years old and the engine is 30 years old too.
Well when the lights turned green they could not keep up at all, from the sounds of his engine he was trying his hardest. When we pulled up at the next set of lights, they wouldn't look at me.
Another time was when I was heading down this road which was full of speed bumps, the ones round here are so bad its like mounting the kerb every 50 yards. Anyway this guy comes speeding up in his Corsa and sits right on my tail, starts swerving to see if he could overtake, he went for it after we both cleared the last speed bump, I put my foot down and he could not get past. (The road was empty so there was no oncoming traffic/doom)
He wasn't pleased when he conceded defeat.
I was sat at the lights in my mum's F150 Lightning a few years ago (she was driving), a guy pulls alongside in a Mitsubishi 3000GT. Starts looking at the truck and chuckles to himself and sets off quickly at the lights and merges in front of us, he started to put his foot down and so did my mum. He could not pull away from us at all. I didn't see his face afterwards, he turned a corner and went away.
Fun times messing around with them.

Seen a guy with a lowered Renault Clio saying "Lower than your nans chesticles" (no lie).
He was being forced to remove the sticker on the window (said "Chesticles" sticker) by a rather nice policeman.
"I don't care how much it cost, this isn't some arcade game. We've had many, many complaints about the stickers, the exhaust, the tyre squeal, the so-called music, and so on. Just keep it in a high gear, take the rather rude stickers off, don't think you're Kimi bloody Raikkonen, and turn the bass down. Okay?"
"Yeh, alright mate. I'll do that."
*proceeds to make loud noises with his exhaust*
