My wife and I decided to go to a local pizza joint last night for dinner (that's the boring part) We get there, and the first thing I notice in the parking lot is this enormous orange wing sitting on top of this hideous orange Supra. My wife notices the car at the same time, and starts making comments about what the driver must be compensating for... I just laugh a bit We get out of the car, and start walking in towards the restaurant. Now, I love my wife to death but sometimes she doesn't know when to stop talking, and she is still insulting this car and it's drivers manhood as we are walking in. As I am laughing, this high school kid comes up asking us why we are laughing at his car. Didn't take him too long to challenge me to a race, at which point I politely declined (I really do not approve of street racing). He then keeps talking, and says something about how I am afraid my wife will leave if I loose to his car, how cool he is, ect... We'll my wife turns around and says "OK punk, let's go". The look on his face was great, I started laughing on that one. Anyways, I tried to talk my wife out of it, but she had a key on her keyring. So, they go out of the parking lot and stop at the first light. When the light turned green, she took off with a perfect launch (thanks to the new launch control from Race Logic), and was ahead by about two cars when it got too far for me to see good. She gets back, tells me that she absolutely destroyed him, and that he wouldn't even stop to give an excuse. Then I gave her my lecture on how bad street racing is... yadda yadda yadda, but I must admit it was pretty funny to watch. The Supra definately was not a turbo, or he was a terrible driver... I don't race, I just enjoy the handling, looks, and feel of the Z. I love the acceleration, and just driving on my own. I love the car because I love driving, but after last night I might decide to take it to the track once in a while.
