Default My Comback

I just started working at advanced auto parts here in my home town. I was working this evening when a guy i knew came in and started shooting his mouth off about his Old Rx8 he had. He told me that my vette never stood a chance against his Rx8, I replyed "ohh is that why you always went the other way when you saw my vette?" also he told me that car had 300 hp...

so he is lacking in knowledge. tell him you will meet him at the local strip and prove to him the RX8 is a slow pig. It handles great, but 160 ft-lbs of torque is a joke.

Tell him you'll race him for pink slips, then when he loses, sell that POS & use the $$$ for mods to your car.

No reflection on you, joebuck. I think you're actually over-qualified to work there. I mean, you can speak in complete sentences, use punctuation and all of that good stuff!
