10 = 1000 rpms. Not to be rude or anything, but did you ruin your exhaust on the go-kart track, or was it ruined before? I'm having a hard time with your "aol lol shortcut" talk. If you want people to understand you, please use puntuation marks.

It's like this... all it takes is an element of spelling, grammer and clarity of thought to post a message.

Your message required way too much work to understand, and, to top it off, was not complete.

These folks WANT to help you... hense, all the responses... but to help you, you have to help yourself a little. If that means clarity of thought and a little more effort in posting, then so be it.

I can read words, but when the words make no sense, then I cannot help you.

Oh, THAT is rich!

Seriously, as the others have stated, if you want to be taken seriously here, you need to use some degree of proper grammer. BTW... save the street racing stories for other forums.

If you don't care to make the effort to be comprehensible, why should we make the effort to help? And please get some sense about your driving before you kill yourself or worse, someone else.

Sure would like to see some pics. I get this weird visual of a raggedy '84 with a huge wing on the back (see his profile) flying around on a too small go-kart track, tearing the exhaust system off!! At least he's off the street..

How could he tear the exhaust system off? He must have dropped the car to 1" of clearance. Maybe after that, he lost control and ended up in the grass...

Dog soldier your is possessive "as in your grammar sucks." Note grammar is not your mother’s mom. You meant to use you're: a contraction for you are: as in you're dimwitted and dense.
So your sentence should read: If you can't understand my ignorant street jargon, you must be mentally deficient.


Good luck in your life with your challenging career as a Mickey Dee's fry cook! I am sure the you're going to degrade the gene pool.

Why is everyone so worked up about the grammar? I am much more concerned about the racing/wrecklessness.

This is not a good for the reputation of corvette owners....

I've had a corvette for years now. Its my daily driver and I occasionally drive her a little hard. I put about 70 miles a day on it.

I have had 1 speeding ticket in my life. This was in a Jeep Cherokee about 10 years ago.

To pick up enough tickets to lose you license implies that you drive like an idiot most of the time...

A cretin called us a bunch of retards, when someone that mentally challenged thinks that I am mentally deficient I take offense.
However, I am not worried about his driving because:
A. His POS is broken
B. He lost his license
C. He is in Michigan
D. It takes a lot of gas money for a Mickey Dee's fry cook to make it to Colorado.

Now if I was from Michigan, I would be embarrassed by the sad state of the public schools!

......and people wonder why America is failing in the world markets!!!!!!
