Ride at night, ride through heaven and hell
Last night, we fell asleep to the sounds of the season. No, not crickets chirping or bullfrogs ribbeting. Instead it was roar of the deep V6 engine of the punkass teen down the block, tires squealing as he took every corner after midnight at about 80 mph. Just to do it over. And over. And over again. Color me very impressed, kid. Your girlfriend's parents must be so proud. School's out...for summer. Son'bitch.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



Did Jason's pinger work for you this morning?

Nope, but he knows he's having problems with it.

Don't you just hate that crap? I live right across I-4 from the Millenia Mall with it's nice new straight 4 lane road. On weekends all I hear are squealing tires and ghetto blasters.

Should of went to his blog this morning... I have an idiot that lives next door with a Dodge Ram and he's got it supped up. He'll come home around midnight and let his truck idol for about 5 - 10 minutes in the driveway. I don't know why he does that, but the idol is really loud.

oh just wait until 2Fast2Furious comes out. I'm sure he was just practicing for how he would rip through the movie theater parking lot afterwards.

Our summers have been that way for so long (having had the teen daughter) that I don't really even notice the noises anymore. That's probably a bad thing tho.

That punkass teen squaling his tires will grow up to be THIS GUY. And he'll be first in line to see 2Fast2Furious.

Oh my gosh! I have the same EXACT thing going on behind my house. But it is loud assed motorcycles. At all times of the day and night. We got a great deal on our house-- only problem-- it backs up to a street.

My husband finally saw the guy the other day who was making the noise-- wonder if I can call the cops on "a guy wearing an army helmet driving a motorcycle."

We've got a guy like that just down the road from us. I'm pretty sure that he's related to the Clampets, well Jethro anyway. He has this junky old truck with more rust than paint and no muffler. He'll sit out in his driveway and rev it up over and over and over, then proceed to do burnouts. I'm just trying to decide what size nails to dump in his driveway. ; )

I remember a movie or tv show where somene had a similar problem. They snuck out one night after dark and made a huge concrete hump in the daredevil's normal path. Thereafter he cautiosly drove around the neighborhood.

That stupid ass film made our lives hell for months here in Miami.

In fact, yesterday on the news, some idiots wound up racing down I-95 in evening rush hour. One of the asshole drivers pulls a gun, shoots at the other driver and then takes off. The guy who got shot at, left his car on the highway and ran away.

It's going to be a great weekend and summer.

But, but, but .... I wanna be *just* like him when I grow up!

I hate to be a grammar-nazi, but where I'm from, it's spelled with an M. SOM'Bitch.

¤ ¤ credit: dave | 06.05.03 at 12:21 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

But it's not where I'm from...and you're at my place now. So nyah nyah nyah.

Yeah I know, but youre from OK...I'm pretty sure I heard the M version once at a Waffle House in Tulsa aroud 3am. BTW- is Tulsa trying to win some sort of "most boring city in the world" award or something? I did a summer internship there in college and that was the longest couple of months of my whole life.

Heh. My apartment in Miami (I use that term loosely to describe the zone-offense atrocity I rented) was right next door to a guy who used to work on his outboard motor in his carport. Or maybe it was the engine to a small plane.

For another 28 days I'm living in the Gandy/4th street area of St. Pete. For those not familiar with the area, the Gandy bridge is notorious for nightly drag racing and since they widened the Howard Franklin the cops have just flat out given up on chasing crotch rockets up 4th street. Add to that the boom caddy that get's home about 2 am every morning. I can't wait to move into my nice quiet house next to the cemetary.

Whoa -- you're right by where we used to live in North St. Pete (Carillon, across from Feather Sound)!

hey now -- i'm in tulsa, we're not that bad -- oo ok, maybe we are :( nothing to do

¤ ¤ credit: jewdez | 06.05.03 at 02:23 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

i SO would have called the cops on that kid.

¤ ¤ credit: Ruthie | 06.05.03 at 05:04 PM | link--this ¤ ¤

At least he's got a V6. Most of the kids around here that do it drive shitty honda's or some other cheap car with tips on the exhaust to make it sound louder. I miss living in my own place at college, but I do not miss the sound of exhaust tips allll night long :)
