How embarassing

Man I would love to beat rice in my beater, but it is also rice...check this out.. a 97 black celica with two fat yellow racing stripes, 1.8L with auto,a fart can, header, cold air intake pushing a whopping 85hp. to the wheels...I know I know I was really stupid 5yrs. ago when I bought it..what was I thinking

but I do have to admit that after 190,000 the thing still runs like new and gets 30mpg. on the highway...just to bad my riding mower will outrun it...

Anyways, I was on my way home after work and had just stopped at a light when the del Sol pulls up. I think to myself, hey, this could be fun and give him a little rev. Needless to say, he got all excited started revving too. Sounded like a couple of pissed off weedeaters getting ready to go at. When the light turned we went and I powershifted my to victory. Had a car on him and he seemed a little upset. Anyways it was fun, but I haven't figured out if I should be more embarassed or if he should.

A GTO or Z06 would have killed it.
