My dad went out to get the power antenna replaced since mine was broken. Got a nice chrome one in place of the dull black one 8) [he had the motor replaced too, so it's all good].

This is what my dad told me since I wasn't in the car at the time of the race.

Anyway, my dad was going down a main road [2 lanes each way with a turn lane] when he stopped at a light. A kid in a red Eclipse GSX pulled up next to him [if you goto www.speedpeople.com it has a picture of the GSX on the home page]. The kid started reving his motor [my dad said it was very loud] at my dad while he was in my TGP. The kid has a fully stripped interior, carbon fiber hood, and I think a 5-speed and probably basic mods, while the TGP is mainly stock with straight-pipes[I don't even have the TopGun chip yet!]. My dad floors it when the light turns green.

He said that he put a few car lengths on the Eclipse and was gone. I'm not sure what happened after that since he didn't give much detail. But my dad did say the kid pulled a ricer fly-by and got infront of him like he beat him or something.

HAHAHA...gotta love when they try to pull that flyby off at the end, as if getting ur butt whooped by more than 2 car lengths isn't bad enough.  You gotta tell ur dad (for his next trip with the TGP) to flash the old 4 ways to signal the win.  Man it feels great to eat rice!!
Yeah dude, you got beat by a V6...with a few pounds of boost!

90TGP,

    Went to the U of Akron, several years ago, would have liked to have seen your car, thats NE I need to go SE.  
    You didnt vote for Conduit did you??

    Will be bringing my STE to Ohio to store for a few years next summer, maybe we can get together then.

If I still have my car by next summer, I'm really hopping on getting a Grand National :twisted:. So I'll probably have to sell my TGP if I get a GN. Unless my dad sells one of his cars. [We have three cars in a 2car driveway with one garage. Of course the TGP occupies the garage!]

I'm not old enough to vote just yet :(

The all wheel drive launch seems to be il-exploited these days by the new wave of dsm owners... Good kill.
