Uncle Ben's in Ottawa
Hope this ride doesn't belong to anyone on the board. 
I was cruisin', doin' the speed limit, on the Queensway (Hwy 174) west-bound around 1:30 today and this red P5 comes roarin' up behind me with a sound like a killer bumblebee.
He slows down as he passes (I think he was checking out my calipers, just painted them yellow) and takes off. Once he's past me, I see this massive, god-awful, metal spoiler on the back of the roof. It must have been 2 1/2 feet tall, taller than the antenna. The worst of it, he hadn't even removed the stock spoiler!
At the same time, I checked out his exhaust, a huge no-name cherry-bomb. Crappy-sound with a big enough tip to put a CD inside.
I turned to my GF and asked her if she thought I should do the same... She threatened to leave me if I did
I guess I'll leave my ride alone, but I'm insulted to be driving a red P5 with another one roaming around town like that one! 
I'm kinda hungry for some rice...

cars like that just make our nice rides look even better. I'll be truely upset when i see another one with my mods.
ps. Did any of you guys go to the Aylmer show? You're missing out. It is easily the best show in our area.

Interesting!!!, yes well hopefully it wont get as bad as some of the Civic I've seen around town. I sometimes wonder what these guys are compensating for . Oh well I'm happy with mine the way it is except for the stereo. I must do something about that *lol*.
