    Guys that know little to nothing about cars (rant)

    So last night I'm at my dinner table. We have a bunch of exchange kids living with my family. One is a 22 year old guy that "claims" he races his car and understands quarter mile times. At this point I should have realized just keep my mouth shut BUT oh no I can't do that.
    He begins to tell me how my father was bragging about my car. Told the kid it's for the most part stock, but it's quick. Dad also informed him I race at the track......
    Kid "Your Dad said your car is quick what time did you run at the track?"
    Me "12.905 @ 107mph"
    Kid "That is impossible. Your mph is WAY off. I run 13.xxx @ 117mph"
    Me "Want to see my time slip?" "I know what my car runs and you obviously aren't getting any traction at all to see that kind of mph and run a 13 something"
    Kid looks totally dumbfounded that a GIRL just owned him.... He starts to babble some crap that I am full of it and he can show me on some online calculator how to tell times and mph... Now I get mad and go off.
    Finally, I tell the kid if you'd like I'll take you to the track and we can put money on what my car runs at what mph and that will solve the problem. Kid won't take my bet.

    I know it exists, but I doubt it's as accurate as a time slip

    I think I'm more annoyed by this kid cause I get the "you're a girl what do you REALLY know" crap way too often

    THe time slip is worth way more then any crap that comes out of his mouth. Just remember that. Ask him where his slips are? Anybody that relies on an online calculator as accurate is a moron because drag racing and the timing has more variables then any calculator can calculate. That thing works off of an estimation. Heck you can have a really fast car but run a shit time jus do to bad traction, shitty driving etc. Take him for a ride in your car and make him turn green. Thats how I settle any kind of bs about whether or not my car is quick.

    Good for you TAP!!! He was upset because your car is faster then his, and so he came up with the MPH.

    And who gives a shit about MPH? It is the time that counts!! WHom ever is First!

    Go kick his ass and Video tape it!!

    Then tape all his excuses for losing!!!
