Had rice for dinner...
I had to share this with you guys. Some of you love to eat the rice in your Rangers, I share the feeling with you.
Hangin' out with a long time friend of mine this evening. About ten o' clock, we went to get gas, headed back to his house, get stuck at a red light. So I'm sitting there and this red Civic hatchback comes flying up next to me and stops in the middle lane, I'm in the right.
All I can hear is the "boom boom" of a sub going off, so I turn my amped radio up, and voila, no more boom. My friend is lookin' at me and goes "you think this guy wants to race?" so I'm like "I guess we'll see." Sit there, foot hovering on gas pedal, left leg ready to pop the clutch. He starts easing up right before the light turns, it flips, and bam, he's behind me. I hear that thing SCREAMIN' to catch up. Only ran up to about 4000 RPM, tossed it into second, clutch off, off we go again, still way ahead and gaining distance. He must have redlined it, heard that tin can shift into second, falling further and further, then sound cuts out. I went into third, fourth, then OD and happily down the road.
I know it was nothing. Truck with 4.0L whips Civic with what, a 1.5L? It was fun though to watch him try, I wish I could have actually had a challenge.
Oh well, ya'll have a good night, see ya all later. Take it easy.

Oh, by the way. '94 Ranger XLT Regular cab, 4.0L V6, 5 speed manual, 3.08 rear diff (eh, not great pickup), no other real performance modifcations, exhaust and Hurst coming soon!

Glad to hear it! 
The only thing I hate even close to how much I hate hondas are chevys. Namely the one that lives righ behind me. An S-10, four cylinder automatic. He drives fast, no exaust, so it sounds like a TO'd bumble bee, he has 1-15" sub, and he did his tint job himself. Yuck. Btw, he can't hang.

LOL nate, that's sad. One of my good friends has an S-10 with whatever the small V-6 is they put in them (I'm assuming 3.0L-ish). It's a '94, same as my truck, extended cab auto. It's got 3.73 gears in it, and I can still walk off and leave it as long as I can stay with him during the takeoff. I have a lot more down low too. Always fun. God he abuses that truck, and it just asks for more.
One of my funniest racing stories, beat my friend's S-10 in a 1992 GMC Sierra with a 5.7L V8 and a little over 215K on the clock. Didn't know that thing would go like that lol, damn that pedal goes a long way down.
Have also smoked numerous ricers and others (Hemis...) in my grandmother's GMC Yukon GT. Fun little truck to drive.
