Twas the night before Christmas and caught at the light, Was a domestic V8 and no cops in sight,

I will try, I will try, I will try with this small motor, To beat this damn truck, even with it’s big 'charger,

As the light goes green and I pull like no joke, The Lightning erupts in clouds of tire smoke,

Now Smasher, now Rev-ver, now Stroker, now Blitzin, These are the names of my four VTEC pistons,

Racing ahead I’m the Star of the action, But I know I’m in trouble when that V8 gets traction,

Grabbing second, I hear the RPM sing, My mirror is blocked by my Shopping Kart Wing,

I now hear the roar, of that big monster gaining, All I can do is keep that four-banger straining,

In a second, the shockwave hits with a blast, And my stickers go flying now, a thing of the past,

Don’t bother with third, cause now it’s too late, Just try to act cool, like you can relate,

Looking up at the taillights as they get smaller, The driver backs off just to give me a holler,

“You can’t win them all,” he says in fling, “You may not win any, in that silly thing,”

I smiled and revved as he pulled out of sight, With my new mods tomorrow...it will be a better night.

 

THat is one of the most funniest things i have reasd in a while. it only makes me want a lighting more. COngradulations to all you lighting owners, for owning such a magnificent machine. (anybody wanna give me one)

 

LMAO, that is very funny! all those stickers these punks with 4 bangers put on, they dont realize the stickers dont help et's. lol probably slows it down if anything, more weight and more wind resistance. : ) shopping cart wing, lmaooooooooooooo !!

That is a keeper. Big Grins

That's about as funny as a guy who would tell you he had two "GOOD" tires to sell you with only 6000 miles on them, and then send you two pieces of sh*t that have the treads (what little was left of it) ripped up and gouged and.................well I guess you get the point. Refund?

 

Anybody noticed the big mason jar type exhaust tip these ricers are sporting? Y ou know....that just intimidates the hell outa me!! Bet it drops 2 sec. off their 1/4 e.t.s also! They couldnt pull the front license plate off a ford!!

 

Latest version:


Twas’ the night before Christmas, when I in my “L”
Decided to top off the tank with some Shell.
So up to the pump for some high octane beef
And a trip to the bathroom to get some relief.

When up to the pumps just to my right
Pulls in a Camero, all shiney and bright.
The exhaust note was deep coming from his V8
From which many a Mustang had no doubt met fate.

He fills it with gas and glances at me
As I top her off while waiting to pee.
Then he breaks the silence I had hoped to avoid
When he ask, “What you’re runnin in that piece of ***** Ford?

I spoke not a word as I closed up the lid
Got my receipt and grinned at the kid.
Cranked up the “L” and just let her sit still
And waited to see if the kid needs a kill.

He pulls out on the four lane and up to the light
With me on his bumper hoping for bite.
In the left lane sits an old El Dorado
Full of rust with plates from Nevado.

As the light changes from amber to green
The Camero unleashes a horrible scene.
His tires going up in bellowing smoke
And his rear slipping sideways toward the Caddy, no joke.

I lifted my pedal, almost out of fear
But to my surprise, look what did appear.
The Caddy slid off to the side of the road
The Camero hooked up and unleashed it’s load.

I moved to the left with only slight traction
But the Lightning was ready for all of the action.
Beside the Camera she shifted her gear
I glanced at the kid, his eyes full of fear.

When she reached 85, she shifted once more
But by then it was over, I was up past his door.
At 110 the kid finally backed off
And I could have sworn that SS had coughed.

Now I must admit that the feeling is great
When you get so excited that you can’t wait.
The feeling you get when your tummy gets heavy
Cause I pissed in my pants outrunning that Chevy.

 

Y2K Bolt, thats WAY better than the first one. I like.

 

I thought both of them were pretty good, myself. The first one is appropriate. I'm so sick of the rice rockets. Funny that L owners are of various demographics...that is NOT the case with the rice rockets who are total poser hot-rodders. I'm not talking about the 9-second RX7s or whatever. Those are well-thought-out machines that someone actually had a purpose for. Guess I'm just sick of seeing the fart-can exhaust tipped, clear taillight, slammed to the ground with 5^ neg camber, cars being driven by idiots who want to do 85 in a 35 _in traffic_.

Also, the second version mentions Mustangs having been whipped by the Z. I have to ask where all you guys live. I guess I just hang around gearheads, but I would venture that where I live if you have a Mustang that runs slower than high-12s its considered slow.
