| LMAO.. Where did all of the decals go? And I'm still trying to figure out how you're running a 2332cc w/ a single barrel? Have you tamed the idle as well? |

unless you were the idiot with the jetta with all the chrome stickers that decided to call me on the phone asking me if i want to race i really have no idea what you are talking about. everyone knew i had a 1600 single port and now i have a 1200 single port (1200 dual port someone should figure that one out.
I told that guy on the phone i had a 2332 because i thought it was really funny that someone would call me asking me if i wanted to come back to the meet to race him. (sarcastic tone-> "dude you think you could beat me, attractive and successful african american i got a 2332 that does wheelies. your shits jetta if you wanna race for 100 bucks i'll come back"
thats word for word.

A '63 T1 is far from a Jetta buddy.. I was at a stop light near Valley Fair and Santana Row. You (or someone with a bug that looks almost identical to yours) pulled up next to me with a stinger that was making all kinds of noise and barely idling w/o constant taps of the pedal. I had my windows up and it sounded like you had a drag motor cause the idle was so rough, so I rolled them down to hear it better.. thinking maybe your header was loose at the heads. You gingerly stared over and then opened your rag. You decided to ask me what year my car was, I answered and asked what in the hell you had out back? You (or whoever it was) replied "23-32" Then I asked what trans.. and you answered "4.88".. which didn't mean anything to me as I'm only familiar with general names.. and I asked is that Super Street? then you or whoever it was replied "Pro Street".. the light went green and the car almost stalled.. then roughly got up to missing all over the place and went across the street as I turned. |

Wow, no sidemoldings, t-bar bumpers, and filled in exhaust cutouts! Put some drop in it, add some chrome nipple caps, and that could be a pic from the late 70's. I know, I was there.

Oops, missed the signals! You could have also filled the horn grills. Been there, done that! Back in the day, of course.

no i usually have HORN GRILLS IN THERE...but if the bastard that keeps stealing them i just wont put them in anymore. I almost want to get metal ones and hook a hotwire to them so when he touches them he's toast.
