From my neighbors best friend. They are both cool guys and I go have some beers with them now and then. His buddy though, wouldn't understand why I was always washing my car and babying it. He was like, "it's a Saturn".
He drives a MazdaSpeed Protege that is turbo'd from the factory. My neighbor told me he was always saying how he could probably take me in his car and John would tell him, "I don't think so man, that thing pulls pretty hard and can't you hear the charger winding up?" And he'd always reply, "It's a Saturn man, C'mon."
Well, as fate would have it, guess who I meet up with at a light last night with about a two mile stretch of straight road in front of us. Yep, the MazdaSpeed Protege. He looks over at me and smiles in a sort of evil way. I nod back and wait for the light.
When it turns green I started spinning tires and a little bit of hopping at which time he gets about a nose on me. Once I get that under control, I left him like he was standing still. I even waited for him to catch up and raced him from a roll. Same shit.
My neighbor tells me this morning that his friend called him last night and said, "Damn man, you weren't lying. That Saturn pulls fucking hard! I definitely have to give it props now."
YES, another believer and some much needed Redline respect earned. For the record, he is a cool guy and all the shit talking was in good fun. Now I have something good to talk about next time I have a beer with them.
