Who Knew a Maverick could be cool?

Yep, they are cool!!!

 

Try driving around with semi-rotted exhaust, what people assume are racing stripes, and a big hood scoop. I can barely get across town without some hothead trying to race me at stop lights. That and all the people that like to yell out "do a burn out!" I like talking about my car with people at the gas stations, in front of restaurants and the like. Stop trying to get me pulled over... I already get pulled over for "showing excessive speed" when I lose traction on a paint stripe in the rain. I don't need to be intentionally hot dogging it.

Although I will admit that I live on a road that some people think is ok to street race on, I know it's not, and there are a few people in my apartment complex that have street/strip styled cars. And so far not a one of them has been able to keep up with my Comet. And this is just to stir the pot. There is a nice looking maverick in my apartment complex and we had a little go at it, it went better for me than him, which just feels good.

 

Try driving around with no exhaust, i've had anything from a new boss 302 to a minivan try to race at the lights. Still pretty fun setting off car alarms though

 

I've done that many times and in many states through the years. Some people just have no sense of humor or really appreciate these kinds of things though. Buncha party poopers.

 

I think my favorite was a little old lady in a late 80s T-bird. She stopped, waved, revved it up, and took off with a bit of smoke and wheel squeel. I was naturally, too shocked to respond.

I do LOVE setting off the car alarms though. I found 1 I drive by every day that I get to set off coming and going. Right across the street from my apartment managers house.
