My first car was a 1975 4-door Cutlass. Bought for $100 when the local tire shop mechanic experience severe fail with a garden hose and a can of Block Seal. Drove it for quite some time after doing it right. Sold for $250 to finance the purchase of a computer for high school. I'll keep this '79 Delta 88 of mine as long as possible. 4000lbs + 200+lbs torque + 135hp + 15-20mpg + 6-passenger seating = best formula ever.
I just wish I could find more of these older cars in yards to pick parts from. Green interiors are the hardest to find stuff for. |

I learned that no matter what year, make or model someone drives, there is ALWAYS someone faster. Besides, I don't like going to fast, people need to see my boat.

I don't know why they weren't laughing at the next red light I really don't think it had anything to do with the tire track left across the entire intersection and then some with a big cloud of smoke and a little bit of sideways action. ![]() I did roll the window down and ask them why they ain't laughing now ![]() Gawd, import days at E-town might be easy days, but dealing with all thier crap, and oil downs every other car sucks too. One kid couldn't understand why he blew the rod out the back of his block in the Evo. I asked him what he was revving, I forget what he said, but I asked him what red-line was on it and he asked "What's that?"

I posted this on youtube a year or so ago.
This is with a very stock '67 425... http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X4UvOXvMy4 Now, let me say this... There are some small car enthusiasts out there who feel the same way about there cars as we do...BUT, it's this attitude that every civic, integra, Z, etc. on the street is actually a race car. The amount of fart can equipped kids on the road is staggering...and every single one winds up next to me at a light. ![]() |

Street racing is bad due to danger, but you know he/she's going home and telling his/her buddies "Yo, I beat this Old 442 today"
![]() It's never the car's fault, it's the owner's fault. I'll post a video from another web site later about this very topic

Don't bother with them.
Just throw the rest of your milkshake on their hood and flash the .44 under the driver's seat. ![]()

I don't allow Milkshakes in the Cutlass, and it's a .45... I can't afford a .44 mag =)
We have ricers and crotch rocket junkies that fool around behind the Shopko parking lot where i work late at night...when my car is done, I'm gonna throw a junk pair of tires on, take the Cutlass to work some night when me and my Shopko buddies all close, we're gonna pile into it in our uniforms, swing around back, and i'm just gonna absolutely melt those tires off back there and smoke them all out, since the cops refuse to do anything about them....I've seen them do burnouts with bleach, ought to be hilarious. "Dude, isn't that like some Grandpa car? yeah dude...he cheated or something, that thing's supposed to be slow!"

I suppose you could put windshield washer reservoirs and pumps in the back wheel wells for maximum bleachification. Get some of those old "step on" bag kinds and you get +2 sweetness points.
Also, Milkshakes are allowed in ALL Oldsmobiles. It's like an unwritten law. Any classic car that has milkshake restrictions might as well be in the demo derby IMO. ![]() I don't mind ricer kids, the ones by me are usually pretty cool. but if someone comes right out of the gate as an ignorant ass, It then becomes my duty to show them a thing or 2. Being a worthless moron is easy, and any normal intelligent person can easily beat them at their own game. Funny story, no joke: Some kids honked at driver Johnny and I in the work truck, and were mooning us at a stoplight. After we laughed (because moonings are pretty much always funny) Johnny flicked his cigarette out the window and got him right in the crack of his ass!!!!!!! Of course then it was our turn to point and laugh.

haha...bleach burnouts entertain me to no end. good story with the cigarette by the way. I've been mooned by buddies in traffic before, it's funny.
One time I mooned my buddy Cody who was in his BMW, so he of course pulled up right behind me and revved the engine...i sat on his hood to be a smartass, so he dumped the clutch and slammed on the brakes and launched my ass off his hood at like ten miles an hour...I was pissed, but it was still hilarious.

There are some basic rules for the Cutlass.
1.) Go to the bathroom before we leave. 2.) Don't complain about there not being any "Oh SHIIIIIT!" handles to hold on to. 3.) No, you can't drive it. 4.) You are required to give the finger to anyone that attempts to pass the Cutlass. 5.) You must be prepared to shoot back after giving the finger. 6.) No food or drink allowed in the Cutlass, not even if it's in a sippy cup. 7.) If you touch my radio you will tuck duck and roll. 8.) You still can't drive it. 9.) If you want to cruise around with me all the time...you gotta help pay for the 94 Oct and a bottle of booster ![]() And once I get her painted, there will be a no leaning rule. Yes, I can lean on the car, because I look cool and it's my car. Yes, my girlfriend can lean on the car because it makes me look even cooler. No, you can't lean on the car. You sratch the paint I'll break your arms such that you won't be able to scratch an itch in the hospital!

I have no radio, because the radio sucks. Cd's/Mp3s are eligible for a quick review, but will most likely be rejected. You've still got 7 hours left till Florida, I'm going back to sleep. Quote:

hey J, I have a Delta also...these rules are perfectly acceptable for Delta driving.
Once, me and my buds were partying (absolutely hammered), and I looked at the two I was with and i'm like, "who's sober enough to drive? i'm (expletive) hammered." My friend Jess was like, oh i'm sober! I threw my keys across the room, totally missed him, we piled into the Delta..it took him three tries to actually find the ignition (secondhand account), we drove about six blocks to my other buddies' house where we passed out on all his furniture. The next day, I asked how we got there...Josh goes "you let Jess drive us home, he said he was sober." Jess's eyes got wide and he goes, "You (expletive) let me DRIVE?! I DON'T EVEN (expletive) REMEMBER driving (expletive)hole! Good times ![]()

I gotta ressurect this thread...
Truth is the little zippy mobiles can be quick. You see em everyday with their primered fenders, 12' tall spoilers, coffee can mufflers, cheap black rims, and stripped down/gutted out interiors. Yes...they can take off quick from stop lights and impress the heck out out of their acne faced friends with the fart power buzzing from the tail pipe...but there is one MAJOR thing that those little guys lack... S-T-Y-L-E I have a fast Cutlass that I drive slow cause I'm stylin when I drive. If i had a car that looked like crap, I'd drive fast too so no one could see me. My car looks good, sounds good, feels good, and when I put my foot on the pedal, it doesn't F%$^ around. Style Vs. Speed: Steps for dealing with buzzers at a stoplight If a buzzer tries to provoke you to race at a stoplight use the following steps 1.) Look over at their car 2.) Open your cutouts on the exhaust (if you have them) 3.) Rev your engine up and nod your head 'yes' like you're ready to race 4.) Once the light turns green...let them speed away as fast as they can 5.) Put your car in 1st gear and creep out nice and slow with S-T-Y-L-E 6.) Meet up with them again at the next stop light and repeat steps 1-5 Eventually they will either stop being stupid or you will have the joy of watching them receive a wreckless driving ticket and losing their license (depending on the state you live in) Survival of the fittest...Oldsmobile style. |
