Uhh.......Okay, I guess.

Okay, to start the story, I live up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I drive for Canada Post, so I'm on the road quite a bit. A couple of days ago, I was driving back to the plant where I work from and saw the dumbest thing on the road so far. I saw a 2nd gen. Ford Probe driving a ways up the road, but remember, this is no ordinary Probe. It caught my attention first because it looked like it had LED taillights, kinda like the new Infiniti Q35, but these were made to be in circles. As I got closer, I realized that he had sprayed on that taillight tint, but had these small holes for the lights to shine brighter through. Okay, that's not so bad. What was bad was the fact that he had the rear end jacked up, that's right, jacked up about 4-5 inches. Just like a muscle car. Maybe it was to show off the real sexy, rusty OEM muffler, or maybe to detract from the rust holes that had eaten through the door and fenders, or perhaps the real shady, probably DIY, tint job with all the bubbles intact (I only saw the driver's side). He also had about what looked like 10 lbs. in stickers on the back window and tail, and a double decker whale tail aluminum wing. I pulled up beside him at the stop light and was LMAO, he looks over, revs, and when the light turns green, just about torque steers right into the curb. I just pull away in my Postie truck, laughing for about 10 min. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

LMAO

Out here in cali there was a older model station wagon, what model **** i couldnt tell. They had a custome made roll cage of PCV pipe, Si-R sticker, type R sticker, DOHC, v-tec stickers with a system and rims that had enough brake dust to make another brake pad. I do give him credit for his system though, sounded pretty good.

Ahh, the good old PVC roll bar. Well known for protecting the occupants in a roll over.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Oh well, if it's old and rusted, it probably can't go fast enough to risk a roll over anyway. Classic story though. Someone needs to give that guy a ,
