Killed Chevy Silverado's Ego
Disclaimer: I did not even have to turn my car on to "kill" this guy.
I was over at my step-dad's house yesterday morning backing the car up into the driveway.. I noticed a guy around my age checking out the car sort of sneakily. When I got out he asked me if it was fast... I walked over and talked to him for a minute or two about the mods, which he seemed to have no clue about, and its only time at the track (12.04 @ 115 6800k shifts) and he replied: "That's pretty slow, I ran an 8.8." I looked at him perplexed and asked what he was driving, maybe he was a car buff like me... he was standing next to a big, jacked up Silverado.. he pointed to it. I chuckled a bit and asked if he meant the quarter mile, and he nodded confidently, telling me about his supercharger, chip, gears, and exhaust (you know, necessary mods to get a 2-ton truck into the 8's, LMAO). I walked back over to my step-dad's condo and told him about it; we laughed at him amongst ourselves. It was pretty funny, you have to admit.
Soon after the guy got into his truck, clearly a bit ticked off that we weren't impressed by his "8 second" truck, and started it with an unnecessary, ear-splitting rev. Sounded like a normal truck with exhaust to me, I didn't hear a supercharger even after he blistered off at an astonishingly slow pace for such noise. Of course, he didn't make it far...
Apparently he thought his Silverado also cornered like a sportscar.. unfortunately, the curb taught him otherwise, and the yield sign smacked him in the face for being such a dipshit. He got around the corner to where he was invisible to my step-dad and I after a bit of maneuvering and took off again.
I noticed on my way home the remnants of a headlight and a good amount of rubber from the peel-out he made to get out of there as quick as he could. Made for a very enjoyable morning.

It happens a lot in texas. Unless your driving the truck a neighbor has, tubd out, big blower sticing out the hood. Dark tinted windows, one color, and nothing else on the outside.
Trucks also tend to ignore the fact that i'm right next to them and run me off the road about 2 times a week. Good story thanks for sharing.
