Me too. Only one car has won against the Beast so far. There was a Chevy SS that beat me by a few feet at a red light at 70 mph. I looked at the specs of the Chevy SS, it's a 6.2L V8 with 415 HP at 5900 rpms 6 spd automatic. I don't know how hard he was stepping on it but He only got ahead of me by a few feet and he was for sure trying to win. This Volvo is fast. 

I don't want to hear anything about safety. My car is stock and does not roast the tires at launch. This is Yakima and most people race at red lights. I'm safe and I'm not being reckless. I take off at the red and then slow it down after I'm clearly the winner in acceleration. I like to look at the grille of the car as I pull away from them so I can see which car or truck I beat.

You need some of these:

When my car is eventually "Fast" I'll guarantee you one thing. I wont be popping into inspired noobs threads trying bring them down a peg..   

Let's not forget that you're the one who started throwing insults just because one person said he doesn't race and the other said he's in the slow lane. :rolleyes:

Don't forget I'm old though lol.

I can't help but think how different the responses would have been ten years ago when the forum was busier and most of us had less of a....filter.

Agreed. This thread would’ve been a 12 page flame fest back then.

I race, I don't street race.  :)

I wont. None of what I said was directed at Fly, he has helped me a lot on here and so has Zap. I'm going through a lot right now, more than I'm willing to share with everyone. When i'm in the attitude and mindset of "monkey you I'm doing great, nothing can bring me down." It's just me trying not to fall into a spiraling depression.

based on this, please do me a favor and not do this:

Also I want to spend $1200 to get my gun rights back and buy a Glock 19 gen 4 for protection.  I can't do it all so I applied for a second job. Any help on this would be great. Thank you.

Just saying.

Good point, mental health is a big deal to me. And I have considered what you're saying as well. 

 

Edit: yeah, prob not a good idea. Maybe in a few years. The area i'm moving to is way less crime anyhow. Thanks Fly.
