Thats the terminology I usually use too, "I asked for the time and you're telling me how to build a clock." I'm a total hypocrite though because I find myself doing exactly that to everyone else.... I'm working on it though!

Got another pet peeve for you guys: front wheel drive vehicles and people who think they have any performance characteristics. Esspecially those guys who build up their Civics and then throw drag slicks on the front and drag race them. Also, guys who have rear spoilers on FWD cars. And fart cans. And vehicles made in Japan. I'm an angry person aren't I? It's been too long since I've gone out shooting. Good thing my unit's doing machine gun training in a few weeks!!!

Some of those front wheel drive cars are pretty darned quick in a straight line, but the majority of them are pretty much a joke. It's a pleasure to cross the line before they do in an 8000# truck

I have noticed at Irwindale that every darned one of the honda boys blows their 1-2 shift every time, it is an absolute riot... They bump them up to over 400 bhp, but with no traction they don't go anywhere. After 2 passes they need to go home and rebuild the whole drive train... My son and his buddies take great pleasure in smoking them with their Focus SVT's with anywhere from 220-300 bhp.... And yes Steve it is hilarious to see a superduty, or a duramax eating honda for lunch....

As long as we're on the subject of drag racing:
Guys that are running treaded tires who do massive burnouts all the way from the water box past the tree. You're not John Force, buddy...all you're doing is turning your tires into goo and ruining the launch area for everyone else.
