The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working
- Thread starter THE Phen
- Start date
I don't even know that I'll park "in" the show this time. Unless you guys all park together, and there's a spot for me or something. I don't even know if I'm going to wash the car or not...it's pretty crappy and overcast here in W. Akron. It's not going to rain though, so I may. I just won't go hog wild on the interior since I'll have the Boxers with me. For short haired dogs, that s*** really gets everywhere! Not to mention the drool all over the windows.

Does anyone know the name of the transmission for the 2.3L 3/6's or the V6 6's? I can't seem to find it on google (it's never listed anywhere).. Do either of them happen to be a G series trans? I heard that at least one of them was, and have been trying to verify it.

It was really cool to meet you guys at the show. It's not exactly import friendly territory lol. A guy came up to Pablo and I while we were talking about his car and goes "Yea, I don't like these rice burners very much. How much does this thing put down?" Needless to say, it wasn't the best way to strike up conversation. I'm respectful of all sorts of cars and owners and this was my first time up here but is that the norm around here??

no, it's not. the guy was a real dick, and I don't usually say this (unless I'm joking around) but he looked pretty ******* stupid... if that was his kid then I really feel sorry for her...
I thought about being a smart ass and make s*** up about my car (I did tell him it had 200 hp...) and go into the "I can take corners faster than you" bulls*** but decided not to, didn't seem worth it
needless to say, I'm not very inclined to go back

You're just mad because my slow P5 pulled on you. 
It was still cool to see some really nice muscle cars, and that super clean 510. And of course kick it with the Mazda crew and meet you breifly, Tim. Sorry I had to bail so early. I'm waiting for a replacement HID ballast and didn't have my headlights hooked up so I had to book it 45mins home.

I feel exactly the same. I have redneck friends but as with any type of people, you run into really ignorant and stupid people. At first I thought he was just joking and was gonna say that he was messing with us but he stayed serious about it. It was very disappointing.
And Evan, you're a ricer

I know, I know. It's the voltmeter in my battery terminal... At least I can go trhough the drive thru at Wendy's without stalling.

Wow, I would have been steamed. I would have told him more than whatever his did after you calculate in gearing, lol. How much fun is three on a tree? My slow as balls FS 626 is about as fast as my friend's '72 Dart. Now granted, it's a 3 speed auto 318, which is the worst of everything, but the only thing left stock is the block, and he told me he has 350hp, which I think is highly optimistic.
One day there will be a sleeper 626..

In all fairness, I think Pablo is right when he said that the guy is just stupid. I doubt he graduated middle school.

It's too bad people like that can ruin the event with their presence. Every event should not be muscle vs import, or JDM vs Euro or what have you. Cars are cars and we all hate emissions testing!
I disagree. That seems like motivation for us to be at that show in full force. I would like to take one of "those guys" around one of our cars and show them all of the parts that have Ford Motor Co. stamped in them. I replaced the rear sway bar and springs yesterday and FoMoCo is all over underneath my car.

At least you won't shed tears when it rusts.
I dunno about the 3's but my 626 was made in Flat Rock, MI, which is more than a lot of American "branded" cars can say anymore.
