the FB got some props tonight

So I just finished re-mounting my drivers seat, and I decided to take the 7 out for a drive. I havn't driven her in about 2 weeks, so I was excited. Took off down the twistiest road in my area, which is unfortunately patrolled by cops so I couldn't let her stretch her legs much. New seat mounts are a DREAM! No more flexing of the mounts. Drove into Ann Arbor to **** off some hippies with my straight through exhaust. It worked well, got numerous dirty looks for the noise (didn't ever take her above 4k), and for the smell of the exhaust (no cats and pre-mix). Left Ann Arbor and went north on US23 heading for Brighton. Cruised around Brighton for a little while, and decided to take off back home. Just before getting off of the exit to go home, I took her to the top of 3rd, and to about 6.5k in 4th, then hit the brakes and went up the exit. As I was getting off, I saw a gas station and immiedately (?SP?) thought "I WANT A SLURPEE!!!!!!!!", so I went and got a slurpee. As I pulled into the station, turned off the lights, and parked her. Shut off my e-fan and then killed the ignition. Right when I turned her off, I heard a muffeled pop, and thought "Score! she backfired!" I got out and saw that there were a couple of guys getting out of a Dodge Magnum that I hadn't noticed when I pulled in. One was like "DUDE! your car just backfired and shot Purple flames out of the exhaust, it was ****** SWEET!". So I thanked him and they started asking questions about my car. Popped the hood and showed them everything. They were very impressed and gave props.
I went inside and got my slurpee, came out, fired her up, and then this douche bag in a new eclipse with tribal graphics and neons pulls up to the pump. I shake my head and chuckle, back up, and I see the two guys in the Magnum pointing and laughing their asses off at the guy, who had just gotten out of his car. EXACT REPLICA of Vin Diesel from The Slow and the Silly. I laughed my *** off and took off for home.
On my way down a backroad, doing between 5 and 10 over, a couple of douche bags come haulin *** up on me and try to pass me on a double yellow line. Dropped from 5th to 3rd and left them in my dust. One was in a Saturn, and the other was in a Truck, so it wasn't that big of a kill. slowed down so I wouldn't be speeding too much, and they passed me on the double yellow. Took off down another road, pulled over, shut her off, backfired again. Called the cops to report them, because I may speed but people that pass on double yellows on uphills are idiots. Finished my call and there is a car that had stopped just after I shut off my car. Get out to see what's up, and the guy told me that I had shot blue flames out of my exhaust. I told him it was normal, he looked at me funny, and was like "alright, whatever". I thanked him, he took off, and I went home. What a great night.
