Completely surprising the person in the other lane.

I've been into cars ever since I was little. I lived in a really small town when I was growing up, and It was a special occassion when my family went to the "City". My dad would always buy me a Hotwheels or Matchbox car, and for that reason I can say it was him who got me into cars. As I got older I was always in the garage watching my dad work on his 1965 Baracuda.
When I got my drivers liscense I bought my own car, which was actually a pickup for $200. It was the biggest POS I have ever owned. It was a 1986 Dodge D50 (a.k.a. Mitsubishi Mighty Max). It had a blown engine so I ordered a Japanese take-out engine not knowing what I was getting myself into. I rebuilt the entire truck from the ground up installing every performance goodie I could find or make. After 2 years of headaches and about $3000 later it was finally mechanically sound. I stumbled into street racing on accident one day when one of my friends in his Civic (after watching F&F for the first time) challenged me to a race. I never expected to win but did. That was it..........I was Hooked on cars and tuning from that point.
.....................That was kinda long!!!!! :toast:
