My Cobalt Eats Mini-Vans...

lol...so today after work i was on my way home and i pulled up to a red light. I was first car there, so there was no one in front of me. To my left there pulled up this green dodge caravan like a 98 or something...kind of rusty and a fugly green color. i didnt have any music on at tha time and i hear this retarded humm come from his car and i look over...hes like holding the brake or something and pressing the gas trying to rev his pathetic engine like he wants to race or some crap...so i pull forward a little and he does the same...then the light turns green and i slowly start to floor it but just enough for him not to pass me at first. Now im not going to brag or anything i know i have abosolutely no performance mods on my car or anything but i smoked him...he tried to keep up for a while, we were probably doing 70-75mph on a 35mph road(yes i know he was driving a caravan.) i looked in my rear view mirror and i seen he changed lanes behind me and then he went right into Wal-Mart. But the moral of the story is this: MINI-VANS SUCK! Don't try to race them...ever...

But really now...I'm pretty sure I'm getting GMPP air intake and RKsport hood. i think ill probably get the magnaflow. I've heard good stuff about it but was wondering if there was any cons to it?

also...WTF...It was 78 degrees out the other day and now its snowing!

yup i agree

yeah its blasting here in elyria or was anyway about 30 mins ago. couldnt see at all. and my stupid **** sister crashed into a telepole on our street shes 16 and very stupid a blonde of course. thats why i believe they should raise the driving age to 18 cuz all teens think there the kings of the road and they cant be hurt and can drive fast cuz they know what there doing i know how it is. and there usually the first ones to wreck cuz there young and dumb. well thats my 2 cents thanks.

The shop that did my exhaust had a Astro mini van that ran 10's. It was a sweet looking ride and it proves that anything can be fast if someone is willing to throw money at it.

Don't try that here in Denver. One of the Neon club guys has a Chrysler mini-van with a Chrysler Turbo II in it. It's embarassing to get beat by that box!

I agree with the driving thing....sorta.

I think they should PROLONG the permit thing until 18. SO you get it at 15, but keep it until 18 then your eligable for a license.


3 years of driving with mom and dad = not so many idiots.
