I meant to post this earlier.
A couple weeks ago I had a Friday off so I decide to go to Sears to pick up a few new tools. I drove my work car which is a Geo Prism that has the 1.6 litre Twin Cam 16V engine. It's a 4 door, base model with hubcaps and 155,000 miles on the clock. Good car, 37MPG and don't run too bad.
I stop at Burger king to take a leak and when pulling back onto the highway a Ford Probe (early 90's) goes by with a wing on the back that would make a Star Wars X-wing fighter jealous. It had the usual Baahaaaahaaaa exhaust note and of course it had been lowered.
I pull out and get caught by the first red light. I just happened to be beside this killa import. He looks over and gives me the "elvis lip" and then nods.
The light changes, I dump the clutch... I'm ahead by a car. I power shift into second and then third (thinking I'm glad I changed out that popping axle last week) and pull two more car lengths.
We get to the next light and i'm thinking, "That was a freak event. Surely I didn't smoke his "Hot Import Nights" probe that bad."
The light goes green and were off again. Same deal, three car lengths.
At this point I am laughing my head off. Killer Probe defeated by my Geo work car. First time could have been a freak thing, but twice no way.
We exit off on interstate 181 toward Johnson City TN rolling along about 35 mph because there is a truck in front of me. The truck exits off, I look in my rearview mirror and the Probe doing a quick lane change to get beside of me. He rolls up and I hear the Buuuuwaaaaaahhhhh!!! exhaust. I bang third and pull him a couple cars. I'm now thinking, "how ashamed does he have to be to stop trying to race me??"
The next couple lights he leaves me alone. I guess he figured I couldn't race him from laughing so hard. He could see me laughing, but couldn't hear me 'cause he had his music up so loud his hatch was rattling.
Couple more lights he turns off, and the next light I beside a purple.. yes PURPLE Honda. We go and I get him by a car length.
Two more lights down (by this time I'm past my turn off and heading toward Bristol..hehe) I get beside a 96 up Mustang V8. I'm feelin' cocky now.. you know the...KING OF DA WORLD MA! feeling..and decide I can take A-N-Y body in my Killer Geo. I look over and give the nod to mustangs... the girls laugh and smoke my butt.
For those of you that weren't at Bowling Green a few years ago. This is the Killer Geo that went to Autozone challenging the Mustangs that were present--lol! Even our own RU (Pat) didn't want to mess with it and I was going to put the whoop on Derek (who drives the 10 sec GN powered 280Z). So if your ever in Va or TN and see a black 4 door Geo Prizm with Walmart hubcaps coming up in your rear view mirror... be afraid...very afraid... it's not a ordanary Geo... It's SUPER GEO!!!!
