Today I took the Olds to JoAnne's fabric store yes fabric store , I needed a piece of black poster board to complete the back of the vanity mirror I'm restoring. So I'm sitting at the light waiting for it to change and this guy pulls up next to me in a 2000 something purple Challanger with very loud (prob Borla exhaust ) looks over at me and starts racing the eng and gives me the wanna go signal, at first I'm thinking he's kidding but the longer we sat the more he persisted ! now my 56 88 sedan is basically all stock except for the Rectangular dual exhaust collectors under the bumpers and some very mild and light pinstriping around the globe emblems, were talking wide white bias tire stock !!
so I ignored him knowing that it would be embarrassing, but seriously !! I have to tell you I don't know if she could even break the tires loose
I have never tried, something in my little brain tells me don't tempt fate on a 65 year old car, he can save the show for the next grandpa he pulls up to this one isn't biting !!
Sometimes on the back roads here I'm just cruising along minding my own business with the windows rolled down and then I look in the mirror and I'm getting tailgated by a Prius! I wait for a straight stretch and punch it and look back at the Prius choking on my 12 mpg high test gas fumes!

😂 I love it! Better than a big Diesel dooly "coal-rolling" a Prius or Tesla! Apparently that messes with some kind of optical windshield sensor on Teslas...

Yeah that would be great !!! big fat 324 carbureted carbon rich exhaust !! Robert Duvall may have loved the smell of napalm in the morning
( apocalypse now ) but I love the smell of big fat 1956 old Super 88 exhaust in the morning !!! Roll on Olds !!!

You should have done the "John Candy drinking the imaginary beer like in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" to him.
It's called a weenie. Sad (or not) thing is how easy it is for any clueless clown to get ahold of horsepower these days. Dipshit probably couldn't change an air filter. It will more than likely be wrapped around a pole soon enough.
Back when I was 16yrs old we had a 55 Olds 88 4 door it had dual exhaust not sure why but did. My MOM would never I say never let the car next to us beat her to the next signal. That might be why I'm that way today but now I watch YOUTUBE and see the dumb asses going thru signals and rear ending the other cars. I never go first at a two lane going strait as someone always runs red lights its happen more than one in my life time. I'm 73 now just watch the other guy. Back in my street racing days I watched for cops and one time this buy wanted to race from light to light I said yes and reved my 64 Cutlass 425 400 trans 3.91 W-27 rear end and the light turns green I sat there and the cop pulled him over. I raced 4 times a week coming home from work. I was only beat 3 times once from a 66 Fairlane with 390 badge but was a 427 side oiler. The other was a 64 Plymouth 426 Wedge not a hemi. The guy said its a 383 so I was game. The third was a Pontiac trans am 455 HO. This is before NOS days just carbs. I tell my stores to my Grand kids now they just think I was crazy back then.

Like that didn't happen in the muscle car days, There was a reason insurance companies, helped kill of muscle the first time.
Why do so many older guys play this card, that the youth is stupid. No wonder the internet is full of "whatever boomer" jokes, meme's. It is crap like this that make us all look like out of touch, one foot in the grave dopes.
Anyways, the O/p maybe it was his way of saying nice car, as he made it seem like your car would be worth running.
I would look at it that way. guess it is that glass half empty ,glass half full thing

I’m not sure if my dad invented the quote, but I have never heard this from anyone but him.
If your going to do something wrong, do it the right way.
Translation: everyone KNOWS street racing is “wrong”. Everyone also knows it’s alway going to happen. So if your going to do it, don’t do it the wrong way on a busy crowded street!!!
Street race 10 miles northeast of nowhere, far away from other cars and property. That way your not going to hurt anyone or damage anyone’s property, less hassles from the cops, no worries about other cars on the road.
Common sense unfortunately isn’t very common.
kinda off the subject, but relevant to the showing off at any cost mentally!
