I learned there was a law in my state that said if I can pass state inspections and agree not to drive my toy more than 5K miles a year I can get an exhaust emission exemption, and a street plate. sooo, i went down to the local tire store and got one.
well anyway, while I was there, there was this nice guy with a 80 something vette with a big nitrous bottle in the back window gettin new shoes. actually it really was a nice vette. I mosey over and checked out his motor. "big block, 503 "he says. nice I answer. "that your little pickup truck" he asks. "yep" i answer. "cute" he says. he takes a little look. "6 cylinder is it". he says with a little smirk. (everythings going real nice.) heeheeheeheehee!
so they ask me to start it up for the the emissions test, the one I don't have a prayer of passing. "Holy shit" he says. that don't sound quite right. "more like a NASCAR motor than a little 6!!!!! how much horsepower that thing make" "oh... it makes a bunch" I answer.
so I start to walk away and he says "I wonder how close you could stay to me??????" EXcuse me!!!! how close can I stay with you!!!! ( oh, thank you God)
so... " why don't we give it a try" I smiled. next thing I knew I was out on the street. me and my little jim stokes syclone that makes about 750 horsies. sucker...your ass is mine! Pulled 3500, launched, got a little sideways in 1st and 2nd, and only went to about 80 or 90. probably held it on for about 5 seconds. by then he was so far behind it didn't make much sense. when we stopped he looked a little sick and said it was too bad his nitrous tank was empty.
yea right. heeheeheeheeheehee. I betcha he still doesn't believe it. wonder if he'll tell any of his friends he got whupped on by a little 6 banger pickup truck?
we're gonna have some fun this summer

They also have a law that AWD vehicles are exempt from the Dyno emission test, cuz most stations only have 2 wheel dynos.
