What do you tell people who try to make fun of your car.

Today i was driving my evo on my way to the store. I had my two front windows down and i was minding my own buisness. I came to a stop at a redlight and this chevy truck is next to me with the windows up. The guy on the passenger side rolls down his window and says" Excuse me, can you tell me where to buy plugs for my weedeater"? And i looked at him and laughed. Then i told him, you want to hear what a weedeater sounds like? Then i WOT and and launched on his a$$. He actualy had the nerve to try to keep up in his chevy. LOL They probably got freaked out when they heard the launch control.

HAHAHA Thats awesome. Well i gotta good one for ya. I am a technician at a chevy dealership with a BUNCH of rednecks that think that the bigger your motor the faster your car..So after one of the younger salesman comes to check out my car he decides to go and talk some crap to the other guys at the dealership. Then when everybody starts trying to be funny about my "Fast and furious" car my service manager says.. "What the hell kinda car is that?" I humbly said its a rally car.. you know like the ones that race on dirt(Remember guys he is a redneck)...Then he says ....So it will outrun that corvette up front...We had a 04 commemerative edition zo6. I smiled and said yeah. He said bull****.. So i said aight ill go get the keys for you. Well this idiot wanted me to race him from stop light to stop light right in front of the dealership thinkin he was gonna embarrass me. So we go to the stop light and he is smilin and revin it. The light drops and you guys know what happens. We go by our dealership runnin about 90 or 100 and EVERY SINGLE person that works there tech...salesman...everybody is right at the front watchin me leave this zo6....... PURE BLISS...this all happened 2 months ago and im still talkin S*** every day.

Warrtalon has a video of launch control. It sounds like a machine gun coming out of your exhaust while you launch your car. Product of Dynoflash.

Wait, what if he really wanted to know where to buy plugs for his weedeater? Maybe he thought you were showing him where to go!

i tell them that my "toy" came from the bottom of the cereal box. then i tell them to put down some money on a quick lap between their's or in most cases their alleged friend's alleged "street monster" and my hotwheels garbage. they usually refuse, although once i actually made $50 versus a trans am!
