GOD DAMNIT MOTHER FUCKER, PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT!!!

My god damn lower IC coupling blew again today, mysteriously, just as I get up next to that fucking SC Cobra with the chick driver at a god damn stop light no less. Seriously this pisses me off so fucking much. She tried to race as I knew she would, and of course me running now .5kg/cm^2 since I cant get the full 19 like I usually run because of the god damn boost leak have to limp off the line like a injured dog, only to have her burn out next to me and take off. Then later she fucking revs at me as she drives by the gas station I was filling up at. Fuck her god damnit, from a light like that I would have owned you.

This is the second time this fucking coupling has cost me a nice race, as last time I was tuning my god damn car on 460 and just as I finished tuning, who should come up behind me? A red Evo 8, so of course being the race I have been wanting so bad for so long, I have to try toying with it. As I begin toying, what do I hear? A god damn boost leak coming from my lower IC coupling, and the same boost scenario of now running 7psi.

This fucker is coming off and I'm ordering some real couplings tonight, this is 2 races I have now missed because of this fucking piece of shit.

<end rant>

...But I thought you didn't street race? hehe
It always works that way, when your car is running like shit, you come across good races.

If you want to run the cobra again I could set you up with a race. Race from a launch though, not from a roll.

It was from a stop light, thats why I'm so pissed cause it was at best 0-60 and theres no way I wouldnt have owned her on that one. I dont street race in the sense that I almost never pre-determine that a race is gonig to take place, but of course if something like that rolls up next to you, especially after I've heard so many stories of her asking friends to race, I knew I had to go for it. But maybe you're right, maybe it was a sign that I wasnt supposed to race, that there was a cop nearby etc that woulda caught me, after all it was at the light right before hokie house by the BK, so it might have been loud if I launched, I'll get my shot though I know it. There will be another race.

Just so everyone knows he is talking of the new blue cobra in town, not the red one with the supercharger kit that I had at first thought he was referring to. Though we could set up a race with her too probably hehe. Anyone know the blue cobra girl real good or heck anyone know her REALLY REALLY good?

Nope, but I've already ordered the parts to fix all of the temporary fixes I had done to the LICP last night. Should be here soon. I got a 90* 304 SS bend, a straight silicone coupling, and 4 Tbolt clamps.
