While waiting in the Art's school parking lot Sunday for the wife's class to convoy in from Colorado, a large, as in muscular, older gentleman, also waiting for his wife, walked up and asked about the promo sickers on the inside of my trunk lid.
I told him they represented some of the products I use to enhance the performace of my car. He seemed surprised that an older man like myself would do such a thing to his daily driver. His eyes went to the 10 lb nitrous bottle and he really became excited. He apparently knew what nitrous systems do.
I briefed him on my car's modifications since some are hidden (torque converter, reflashed ECU) and opened the hood where he nearly went berserk.
He quickly Id'd the CAI, the ZEX system, and all the bling pieces. He was amazed by the shear physical size of the motor.
He asked if I raced on the street with my nitrous system, I mumbled something unintelligable and said "I race at our local drag strip, Red River Raceway".
He stood back and re-appraised the car in light of his new found knowledge, said he liked it and that it looks like it's ready for action.
Amen.
