Neon drivers...

neebelung · 04-30-2009, 04:18 PM

Speaking as a woman married to a man-who-used-to-build-and-race-Neons (fast ones, actually) I can say with 100% confidence - I have NO fucking idea...

Seriously, Chris had fast Neons (no, it's not always an oxymoron), and he would've NEVER even thought of attempting to race a bike.

The whole reason he got AWAY from them is because once he got a bike, he knew no matter WHAT ya do to a car, the bike will always be faster. Sounds like the skinny ass white boys in your hood need to be taught that lesson.

I can't see how someone can justify spending money modifiying a neon let alone drive it. You spend 5 thousand in parts wow! Its still a neon.

Its not really the car that inspires the people to try and take u in the 1/4 mile at the light, its usually the plastic rims and trash can exaust the Kid (whether by age or by maturity) had "installed" that causes them to perpetuate their downward spiral into endless disapointment. These kids usually go out years later and buy a bike. Then they spend countless hours in the parking lot of a local taco bell waiting for the next generation of neons to roll up so they can attempt a wheelie and crash into a phone pole... ahh the cycle of douche.

I'm sure Corvette owners say the same thing about Camaro/Mustang owners, and I'm sure Ferrari/Lamborghini owners say the same thing about Corvette owners.

A girl where I worked had an SRT4 that was heavliy modified. It was a quick little car for what it was.

It was on the 4 point lift one day and she was letting it idle and the wheels were spinning free. I made a comment that that's the fastest those wheels will ever spin She didn't find it funny! I thought it was hilarious.
