alright guys, get this:

I was on my way home today and i stop at a redlight. a 2003 Harley Davidson F-150 with a 2.3L whipple pulls in the left lane, and a 2002 Lightning twin turbo in the right lane. I think to myself: "ive got all my stickers and with my bigger pistons, I'll pull on them"

so the light goes green and and with a "chirp chirp chirp" i end first gear redlining at 15 mph. the lightning is no where in sight, his turbos taking too long to spool and the harley being so heavy he probably stalled. six seconds later im in second and dump the clutch acclerating through 25 mph. i redline again, this time shifting into third at 45 mph. i can hear the whipple gaining on me but again no lightning. I'm going through 50mph and i see the HD out of the corner of my left eye and im stretching third. every nanosecond i feel my six cylinders firing, knowing that my $400 programmer went to good use or else i'd be in the dust right now. do i dare try fifth? no, i decide, i dont want those slowmatics to get me on the upshift. I press onward, stretching my fourth all the way out to 3500, with the loud whine of a supercharger in my left ear and something sounding like two tornadoes coming into my right mirror. the lightning finally decides to join the party. we're going through 65 mph, my heart beating- this is a race that will go down in history. the TT lightning is catching up with its harmonic tornadoes sucking the air out of my right ear and the whip'ed HD trying to turn those massive bling blings. almost...there... i can see the next intersection ahead. will i make it?

stay tuned for next week, folks!

Call it what you want, - just light the burner, or something.
