anyone know the black redline with painted black stock rims and dropped real low in gulf shores, al? I am here working for a while and saw the car last night and an hour ago.
It looked slow so I just kept on going.

I saw where you called but didn't think you'd appreciate a call at about 3 in the morning, but apparently... you were awake
was that stock or tuned? if tuned... man, I need to teach you how to drive when we have our meet, lol

I started tuning on the turbo van last week 
At 10 psi the van pulls as hard as my HHR SS does at 26 psi 
I could only run to 10 psi, ran out of fuel for more boost safely 
So I ordered some bigger injectors, goal is between 15-20psi on the van. At 10 psi wot I had +12-15 degrees timing, AFR of 10-11.5. By 15psi my afr was reaching 13's and timing went up to +20, so its definetly a fuel issue. But I got some of the new Bosch EV High Impedance 650cc injectors coming. 
I almost got into a fight with some ******* who followed me down the road after a tuning pull, I drove into someones drive way to turn around and he blocked me in.
So I started backing up and he moved, barely out of my way. By this time the wife knows i'm pissed (she was helping me tune), and the dude stops his car, and just sits there.
So finally I had enough and yelled out the window, do you have a ******* problem. Dude gets out of his car, I get out of mine to meet him half way and walk up to him and ask him wtf his problem was.
Hes like I was just worried about my neighbors, etc. Of course Im still mad asking wtf his problem was and his wife gets out of the car and is like he was just worried about his neighbors.
By this time I think they both realized they bit off more then they could chew and tried to rationalize with me why/what they were doing
In the end the guy changed his whole tone and was sorry he blocked me in.
I tell you what people do some ******* **** in the world, blocking in a complete strange vehcile is not a wise thing to do imo. I swear if I would have had an old beater I would have moved his car myself.

Heck I'd be happy with just a small meet and people from Bama to tell you the truth.
