That high school kid is probably going to go home and tell his rich daddy and come back with something like a full built motor. A lot of the kids at the school I work at are driving crew cab diesels now. Must be nice. But my first car was a $500.oo car and my kids car first car will be a $500.oo car. That way he/she will appreciate it. I have a student that has a lightning and Im trying to get him to go to the track with me so I can show him how sweat hours we have put into our vehicles pays back in low ETs.

Turns out some high school kid just got his 01 gt back from the shop and has some work done. As usual the kid is running his mouth about how fast it is. I ask him what he had done and he said Heads/cam, full exhaust and gears. He's like "This thing flies. I bet you its the fastest car out tonight". Now im interested. So I decide to prove him wrong at a price of $100.00
We get out on the highway and cruise to the local street where everyone races. Light after light. We cant seem to line up. The finally we do. He asks me what engine i have. I tell him a 4.8. The he laughs. So i rev it up to like 2500 and get ready to launch. Green and we go, but he is pulling on me. I was like what the f*ck!!!!!! I hit second and still not really gaining on him. The i hit 3rd and look in the rearview at the street behind me covered in smoke. Now i hook and rip by him. We pull over and he was like "holy ****. That wasn't right."
And the best part is that I made a easy $100.00.
got to love those mustang owners
