Default some people are mindless sheep

I had a conversation with a guy today who came into my work. He's a friend of someone I work with, and we always talk about cars. He got on the topic of my S2000, and brought up the 350Z....

Him: yeah man, my girl's brother has a 350Z.
Me: does he live around here? I'd love to meet him and make a friendly run with him sometime.
Him: why would he bother racing you? 350Z's are wayyyy f'in faster man.
Me: uhhh.... so which mag told you that? car and drivel?
Him: Naw, but he went to the street races and beat a Honda 2000 (fast and furious flashback) by like 10 car lengths.
Me: Congratulations.... but he'll have a much harder time with me. And when did he go to the street races? I thought you said he just got the car?
Him: uh yeah, he went like last weekend. (right... cuz people street race in the snow in wisconsin and in 10 degree weather. )

At this point, the guy I work with (moron's friend) interjects and tells him that an S2k is an even match with a 350Z. In fact, shortly we'll have some video, because I'm meeting up with a modded GTP and a 350Z from illinois to make some runs.

Now it gets better...

Me: So I suppose next you'll tell me how awesome the SRT-4 is and how much quicker it is than my car.
Him: You mean the turbo neon? Well you know, it did run a 14.2 and your S2k ran a 14.9.
Me: Ah, so it is car and drivel that you base all of your knowledge on. I suppose you have NOS in your car too.... did you like the fast and the furious?
Him: No I don't got nos yet, but yeah, the fast and furious was awesome... i can't wait to see that next one. it's gonna be tits.

tits? who the fiznuck calls something "tits"???

Anyways, our conversation finished with me asking him about his accord. It looks like a clown car. It's yellow and orange and silver and black and green. All over the entire car. And he has those really crappy looking altezzas... like 1st gen altezzas or something. And he recently visited the airport to purchase a wing. I didn't say anything to his face about his car, but it took all I could to hold it in. Whatever floats your boat, and makes everyone else laugh is just fine with me.

Even if Wisconsin makes a great video of the Chicago run and does well (I'm sure he will) it still won't end the argument. If S2K wins the 350Z people will simply claim the 350Z guy can't drive.

To pull a 14.9 in an S2000 must make their testers absolutely retarded. My RSX-S was good for 14.3x at sea level, and I *know* my S2000 is faster. But I guess we'll see what happens in the spring. Just kinda sucks that I run at 4,000 feet
