Was out waxing the red brick when this young man with his new WS6 and woman comes by and rev.s his engine. I continue waxing and wait for him to come back by as I live at the front of the subdivision. Sure enough he pulls in and begins coming down the street. I flag him down to look at his new ride and we talk awhile. (he never asked about the truck I was waxing on). I tell him I am putting on some new really slick wax and believe it will make the truck much faster. He laughs and says I should put more on it then.(he must not know what the lightning he is looking at can do) I ask him if he would let me run next to him to see if it might help, he laughs again and tells me to get the keys. (shame on him for not knowing his cars and trucks).
It was just to funny to me to be racing with the truck covered in wax. Needless to say me and the hotdog ate him up, he couldn't even begin to keep up. And to top that, he would not stop when we came back home. When I got in my wife was waiting for me and asking if I would every grow up!

I hope not.

Now _THAT_ is a great kill story. You're minding your own business, someone wants some, they get their rear-end handed to them.

Good job, Alvin.

Man, that was hilarious.

How in the hell did you keep a straight face? I know I couldn't have. Was the woman with him when you flagged him down?

I would have asked if he wanted to try some of your wax.

 

dogleg, great story, He deserved a loss not knowing what a Lightning was. Stay young, your wife sound like mine. I here that same type of comments from my wife. That is cool

Yea, he had a very pretty lady sitting next to him. I forget how hard it is to be a young man and suffer the price of believing in yourself and your ride too much. It just struck me as too funny to see this new blue, WS6 being beaten three different times by a red truck covered with wax. The young buck wouldn't even stop by after the whipping. He was sure willing to stop and rag the old man before.

So what kind of wax was that, sounds like it was good for a few HP?

What a dodo. One look at your truck with the Cobra hood and yellow racing stripes should have given the guy his first clue.
How do you like your TransGo shift kit? I've been having problems hitting the rev limiter since I installed mine, and I have a Swanson chip, too. What do you have your shift points set at?

Funny !

 

So.....was the wax a factor?

 

Great story !

I get my black lightning on Friday, so I'll
be washing and waxing all day, just waiting
easy for prey.
