Oh by the way, the term "rice rocket" applies to motorcycles, not cars.

The cars are just "ricers" ...

Yes, I know it's a culturally derogative term... oh well...

Man, between the low miles of working from home and the overall lack of population here, I NEVER get anyone wanting to take me on.

Sure sounds like fun though!

I have the work-from-home, but LOTS of population and still don't get any bites when they look over and see the V10 emblem...

Sure is lonely...

I'd do 'er with the '96 if I ever saw a V10...just for fun, not saying I'd win.

I tangled with a new chebby 2500HD on the freeway the other day. It was the "sister" of my truck same lift/color CC etc... he nailed it, and my son goes "dad, he is racing you!". me being a former stang driver, I have no self control. I waited for him to line up, and we both nailed it. It was decent, but no match for my baby. By the time we hit 100 I was about 5 car lengths ahead. What a sight that must have been, two huge trucks racing down the freeway. A little while later I smoked a PSD on the same freeway.

What I really like to do is pull up REALLY CLOSE behind a ricer. They see that big, stupid, angry looking grill and push bar and the umpteen lights staring in their rearview and you see every head in the car trying to look in mirrors to get a peek. Nobody wants to turn around and look, like they think it might bite.

i would love to see her try that with the dude here with his supercharged one "v10 of course"

Haa haa, I do the same thing. Ever since I put 4 8" KC lights on the front of my truck, it seems like everyone in the world wants to cut me off (or maybe I just notice it more??). If they're lucky enough to do it during the day, I'll run up on 'em and scare 'em a bit, but if it's nighttime, I let the KC's do the work for me. I don't know if it's the beams they hate more of the fogs. ha ha. Either way, it's good fun and busts me up.

I can get them on both ends. I just upgraded my rear lights to 130 watts. I found the ones I took out of the Maxtels and put them back there. Hehehe!

Tailgate, not a problem. Cut me off, not problem. Both sets are right at lowrider level too.

That's pretty funny. Unfortunately, only those who tow will probably understand it.
