Coming home from Scary Movie 4 tonight, and a ricer was acting up beside me. Onto the on-ramp we go, he just couldn't get that big white Super Duty grill out of his rear view. He then got a good look at my grin out the window, my cute friend laughing, and then a long look at my tailgate as we hit the four-lane.
I suppose the 4 foot aluminium wing straining at the sheet metal screws on his trunk lid just wasn't up to the racing task tonight or something. Maybe his "fart pipe" packing had shifted a little bit, it says SUPER TRAP RACING EXHAUST on it of course. The rattling of his trunk lid from the bass of his stereo just made me WANT to give him a bag of little stick-on rubber rattle-stoppers. Perhaps he didn't oil his K&N air filter properly, he got his *** handed to him by a FARM TRUCK (Lawn clippings were blowing out tonight, it was close enough).
I thought to myself "Kids these days", and realized I am soundling like an OLD MAN! Jeepers. My 30th birthday is NOT far away for me. Better start looking for a favorite chair soon.

You're not even close to old. They are just working with what they have. Unfortunately it's not much to begin with but they are tomorrow's enthusiasts. Just look in any parts catalog. I still say, nothing replaces cubic inches, nothing. I had a 440 Six pack Challenger RT in my day. Wish I still had it. But with fuel costs these days, who knows? Me and my rocking chair will rock on in my PSD. BTW, I enjoy dusting them wannabees in my biga$$ farm truck. Lotsa noise and lighting but very little go.

I love the "wings" on the ricers. The only way they'd go fast enough to warrant a wing or spoiler is to drive them off a cliff.
My truck doesn't need a wing. I have 9000 pounds keeping me on the road.

Very funny! I keep waitin' for one of those guys to give me some attitude. I didn't get the 120 setting on my chip for towing! Don't worry, not too many old men go to Scary Movie 4! I know what you mean though, I'm comin' up on 40 and the kids look younger and younger. Seems like just the other day, I was one of them! Thanks for the story, good to have a laugh on a Sunday morning!

True story, my cousin and I were at a local Sonic cruise night and some kids were there with a couple Honda's and an Eclipse with a big wing on it. We were parked next to them with his 65 Chevelle and my cousin said, "HEY look they got a picnic table" and went over and set his drink and fries on the wing while he ate his hamburger, I thought that was nice so I did the same thing. The kid comes over and asks what we are doing and I said "Thanks for bringin the picnic table, thats handy to have." They couldnt say much because everyone was busting up laughing and my cousin and I were the same size as the kid and his 3 buddy's combined. So they got in there cars and fired up the angry chainsaws and we removed our drinks and fries and they left.
So we dont call em wings, they are Picinic Tables
