If it wasn't for stupid people, it would be pretty hard to look smart

Showed on of my little brothers friends my blaster the other day,
he said "will it do 120mph?"
I said "uhh.. no, mabe 60mph"
He said "my dads wheeler (zilla 500) would do 120mph easily"
I said "uhhh... sure"
He said "when he first got it we went down to the flats and followed him with his truck and we had to shut the truck down cuz we were going 110mph and it was over heating and he was way ahead of us" (keep in mind this is an F150)
I said "thats why that zilla only lasted a couple days?!" lol! stupid people...
Never bothered to argue with him, just went along with it... his quad may have done 120mph before it grenaded, but right now Im smoking it big time with my blaster

I know what you guys mean. Theres a few d**k heads at my highschool and they swear up and down that if you drive a 2 stroke for more than 10seconds it will blow up. That person owns a 89 blaster that is a pile of junk. Runs 1 day outta of every month. They also tell me the harder the clutch lever is to pull in the longer the clutch will last and that it will be more powerful. He also owns a suzuki dr 100 dirtbike and doesn't use the clutch at all not even to start off, he says it's designed to do that. You ought to hear the transmission grind. He also tells me that his blaster is modded and will do 75mph. I outran it with my quadsport.

I've personally seen a 92 5.0 bone stock mustang run low 13's at Firebird raceway near Phoenix. At the time I owned an '88 and was blown away by this car. How'd he do it? A carefully blueprinted engine, 4.11 gears, slicks, no fan belt - which required shutting off the motor after the traps, and icing down the intake manifold before each run to decrease intake temps. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself.

As for people not knowing what they are talking about - well, that's life. Just be happy that you know when to believe people and when not to.

Saying to live by -

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. This applies to the people we are talking about here.

Hey man, there's a guy in my town that just got "Gold Plated Pro Circuit pipes.. full system for $275. Too bad Pro Circuit only makes the Platinum line! Then, the guy tells me his dad got a Raptor... Then along comes a Foreman 450.. Then a Lime Green 300EX. I've drove by his house numerous times.. all I've seen was a pink blaster. And, the other day, he called my friend with a 300EX, and wants to buy it. I asked him why he wanted another one, and since he already had a Raptor and a 300EX, that he would be let down. Oh well, just a moron. And a friend of mine from Arizona has a 2001 stock Banshee that will do 120 too! Later

Yeah I was in the woods one day and was going down this hill and I couldn't make it. So I put my raptor in reverse, and wouldn't know it. I was to low on my reverse fluid it was to low for me to get it in reverse. So the only thing anyone had was some dot 4 brake fluid. We all figured it would work so we put it in. NOW my raptor won't go forward or reverse. Should I flush the reverse lines? HELP!!!!


lol 2fast
