I rolled up to a light to make a right turn. A econoline box van with 3 brothers are in the straight lane. Guy leans out of the window and asks " Yo, Is that one of them there Internationals?" I nodded, then I smoked through the turn.

I usually reply with a smile and "does it look like a tractor?" it seems to puzzle them

That same statement was made to my friend Turbo Todd down here in GA with his WE4. I'm sure Todd couldn't control the laughter. You never can tell what one might say....

the stupidity of some people.....

There's a woman at work who approached me one morning as I was going in. She says " I been wonderin' whose car that was. I used to have one of them Internationals." She has approached me a few other times since then telling me how she's "always WANTED one of those Internationals". I guess if she's that damned confused that she doesn't even know if she had one or not I can excuse her for not remembering the name.

At a party, a mexican kid my age was telling me that his uncles 97 TA would whoop my ass any day of the week. It is bone stock. I run a 12.8 on the street all day long. He took this stance after i told him it was just a six cylinder. In his world 8's beat 6's all the time. Well, after about an hour of debate he said, I dont care man, my uncles TA will beat your Grand... uh... International any day. It was pretty funny, especially since we were so umm... not sober at the time. I really pissed him off when i told him that my international sitting on the farm would probably walk that TA anyday too. I guess ignorance REALLY is bliss.

And once racing at morocco (host of the midwest challenge which was f*n awesome) the announcer in the booth called my car a grand am, even though it has an 8"x23" Grand National sticker in the back window.

At least someone got it right!!!

I ran my car just one time at the track. Due to a boost problem that gave me only 5 psi from first through the middle of second gear I could only run 14s. About my fifth time out my O2 readings went crazy. When the light went green I got about to the middle of second gear and a fusible link blew, ending my night. When I got home I noticed something cool on one of my time slips. Near the top, where they put the racers name, I had Vette on one side and turbo Buick ( or turbo Regal, can't remember exactly ) on the other. At least a few people know what they are. BTW, yes I did beat the Vette...... even running 14s.
