Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Yesterday, when I was driving home, I was passed by a dude in an '80 something Mustang that had some engine mods done making it pretty damn impressive sounding, not to mention go real fast. I saw all the gauges the guy had all up in the beam that is to the left front of the driver... you know what I’m talking about. And 2 secs after he zoomed on by, some guy in a tricked out Cavalier passed me trying to keep up with the Stang. I just started laughing, almost uncontrollably.Why? Why would you trick out a Cavalier? Why would you trick out THAT car? If one's car sounds like a lawnmower, it’s not cool. If one adds body kits that decrease the wind resistance, thus providing better aerodynamics, it doesn’t do ANYTHING. Your car will never have enough under the hood for it to matter in the grand scheme of things. The Mustang guy had it right. No useless cosmetic bullch.
If I can afford it, and still feel like I want to spite some people, I’m gonna get a car that will be a wolf in sheep's clothing. It’s gonna be a Corolla S or an Integra or something. A car that will make me look like some punk kid with a stock car that he thinks can compete with some of those other tricked out cars.
But this is where the wolf part comes in. I’m gonna overpower that thing beyond comprehension. Engine upgrades, flywheels, drive shafts, cooling systems, brakes, whatever it takes. BUT, there will not be a single cosmetic upgrade. And then I’m gonna get to stop light one day, and some punk kid (oh, the irony) is gonna stare me down like he's the shit. And BAM!, that light is gonna turn green and Ill be gone, whilst he wonders how he got taken by a stock Corolla. I smile just thinking about it. (not to mention I just used the word "whilst")
