Stop light fun

This little izuzu amigo pulled up next to me at a stop light the other day and kept revvin his engine and i kinda just sat there not paying attention to him. But when the light changed I owned him! I now it's not that big of a deal to beat an amigo but hey it was fun. My trucks a 94 f150 ext. cab with 5.8 and E40D by the way. Any of got any stories? Maybe against some ricers.

I don't race much so no good stories there but I pulled into a Wendy's one night and some kid in a WRX with what looked like a garbage can welded to the end of his exhaust was revving his engine and his friends were cheering him on so I pulled up next to him and revved my engine and his friends started laughing at him. He shut his car off. I guess it was one of those "you had to be there" experiences but it's all I got.

I was at McDonalds in the parking lot when a lifted chevy pulled in and blatted out the exhaust. I was in my 96 straight-piped Tbird and drowned him out. But I could tell by their smiles in the truck they thought it was cool.

don't run my truck hard,but my lifted 4.0 cherokee with "some" engine mods has dusted every ricer and even most full size chevy trucks that want to find out if the sound of the flowmaster is just a muffler only mod or if there are other mods in the engine to back the noise up!!

I run my truck hard when i can..But i've been taking it easy on it..One time a dodge neon was at the stop light and i just pulled out of Menards with 40 bundles of shrink wrapped shingles..He was reving up the big fart can he had on..I couldn't take it so i thought all those shingles would make me hook better..Since i never hook when i floor it.So i held the brake a little and pressed the accelerator..Light turned green i spun them for like 10 feet and when i hooked the shingles slid right through my tailgate on the pale it and ended up on the road..Mind you this is a bust highway..So i jumped out of my truck and had to through all the 40 bundles of shingles in the back on my truck..Man i felt like super man when i had to put them back in a had all those in the truck in less than 2 minutes..Than when i got to the job my dad asked my why all the shingles were scattered all of my truck and why some were split open..I just laughed and said ahh they had crappy loaders at menards today..

Me and a buddy were out cruisin in his 79 f150 2wd when a coworker came up beside us on the highway. He had a 2000 honda civic that he thought was fast (ricer). we were doin 60 an he was doin closer to 80. we let him get up next to the passenger door and stomped on it. the built 400 and shiftkitted c6 did its magic. we kept ahead of the honda, played with him for a mile or so. then walked away... was pretty funny at the time.

ok i know ya'll are gonna laugh at this one but just read it all the way thru. I was heading home one day in my focus on a 2 lane that closed down to a 1 lane just after a stop light. I pulled up and saw a car pull up next to me, not relizing what it was. but i thought to my self, i'll roll into the throttle thru 2nd gear and pull right away getting the lead when the light turns green. Well apparently he thought the same thing, when he relized he wasn't pulling ahead he got on the throttle a little harder just as I shifted into 2nd and went W.O.T. I finally relized what he had, an early 90's Vette! The look on his face when he relized just how far he had to be in it to get around me was priceless, I wish I could have taken a pic! His head whiped around and I saw him mouth WTH is in that!?!?! It's quit loud for a stock exhaust 4 banger, so I know he heard me open it up. Granted yes I know, he did and could have walked all over me from the begining, but thats why I like to call it a sleeper, people look at it and think econo box focus, then they relized that IF they can get around me, it takes a quick car to do so.
