Default driving with headers attracts !@#$..?

ok i finally got my headers installed correctly. no leaks everything torqued right. so now i have headers, the front y-pipe is sealed which compliments my power effects exhaust. I was on my way to the Base auto hobby shop had to stop for some parts to reconnect somethings i left out of the instal. this guy walking by when i got out goes
the guy:"nice car, we should race sometime, I have a Fiero Gt"
me: are you sure?
the guy:" YEAH I'm SURE"
me: ok (and walked away)
first I don't race i just like tweaking cars, I'd rather be in the pit crew than be the driver.
I go to the shop put everything in it's place. forgot to instal the pin the keeps the shift cable in place...oops
ok then i leave on my way to firestone to price some new tires on my way out i was idling by the store cause the road was under construction and it was all dug up. this Mustang GT is coming the opposite way stops and starts reving his engine. i was like ok and continued to idle by.
on the raod driving a little over the limit (5) evrytime i pass someone they have to accelerate?
was does everyone think you want to race?

thanks i needed to vent

What's really funny is when some old fart pulls up beside you in his Buick Regal (GN), and then proceeds to blow your doors off.

Our Gang was driving into Gaffney, SC, (11 of us). We were all lined up waiting for the light to change when a rice burner came along side of us and reved his 4 banger as he went by. This car was a wreck that already happened and was looking for a place to end it. When he reved it the entire car twisted, not from torque, but from the parts not being put together. The muffler was a thing of beauty, two sizes too big and held on with bailing wire. But he was going to show us Vette guys he was something. Remember Pig Pen from the Peanuts cartoon strip, he always had a cloud of dust around him? That is what this car looked like going down the road. :lolg: :rofl: :lol: :D :lolg: :rofl: :lolg: :lol: :lolg: :rofl:
