I was heading back to work this afternoon after getting a haircut. And a jetta came up beside me and the driver gave my the classic two finger "Wanna race" signal. Im in my 81 Cutlass Diesel 350. I just look over and shake my head No. I know why he did it. I just install my 5in Autogage Tach w/shiftlight (That was in my CamarOlds. Its not hooked up, but nor is it getting banged around in the back seat no more). And I have 15x8.5 with 275/60/15 rear tires so I guess it could looked tempting. And I did past him first then he pulled back up next to me. LOL, I have a Th200 tranny (I think, it the one that looks like a th-350 but has metric on the pan.) and 2.18 rear end gear with a Olds 350 diesel in front. Im lucky to beat traffic, much less a jetta. So now Im worked up about installing the 455 as-is again. BUT even if I had the 455 installed. I really dont care to street race. And especially not the highway I was on. What not happening my decision is I thought I was getting in the mid 20's mpg. But it seems Im avg arouind 18-20 mpg. So not bad. But not as good as thought.

LOL, man I know the feeling. Before I got done with my LS/V, everyone in the world would come up and race me. At least you look like a bad ass though, but once you get that engine in there it's going to be on!

haha, strange....I rarely have people try to race me. Whenever it does occur its usually a G35, 350Z, or a newer mustang GT.

The only person I've had try to race me in the past like 4 months was a mini cooper.

I think it was grey. It was at night so I'm not positive. It was on 20 close to AMS heading towards 75.

I've raced a Geo before actually. :D

You should say anything you want to say. It is a good way for you to share your feeling and problems with many people. If you do that, I am sure you will feel more comfortable.
