MP5 vs. Cabbie
 

As I'm pulling up to the light I notice that ahead(300 feet or so) there is road work going on and the lanes merge to the right. So I pullover to the right lane at the redlight and a blue cab pulls up next to me. I knew what he was thinking of doing. So the light turns green and we both gun it. I stayed right next to him and was even ahead of him at the biggining. He couldn't pass me so he backed off and got behind me. When we got to the next red light he yells "Yo that $hit is slow!". So I kindly replied, "We'll it took care of your sorry a$$ didn't it!" At the next light I said "I didn't buy it for speed it's a wagon." He just said "What ever." He even had a pasenger in the car. It was probably a freind, but still these guys are the worst drivers.

Horrible

What's horrible?

the cabbies in Chicago drive crown vics and those things are pretty punchy off the line. Still I bet the pro will take them!

Not you rio. Just that these damn cars are in fact so slow. What kind of cab was it? Crown vic, or a crappy taurus or something?

tauruses are slow Miller?? you shoulda seen mine! I might be getting another one though....Topher may be having someone trade it in...a 95 SHO 5-spd with 130K owned by a little old couple!! YEAH!!

Matty, I dont know about you, but most tauruses I've seen on cab duty are the crappy little I-4s or maybe the v-6. But I havnt seen a lot of SHO's converted for taxi duty.

I didn't get a good look at him since he was behind me :p . No seriously I don't know but I would guess it was a Taurus. All I have to do is stick my head outside for 30 seconds and one will drive by. I wanted to bust up laughing at what he said, beleive me I was laughing but I would have been rolling if I wasn't in the car. I know he would have torn me up if it was the 1/4 but for 300 feet I could hold my own. I could never have even dreamed of doing that in my Jeep:D . Now my brothe rwants to race me in his brand spankin new Lancer Ralli Art with 162hp. I said are you stupid I know you'll beat me. He didn't realize that the MP5 only has 130. He thought I had 160 like the 3's do.

Miller, I have yet to see a 4cyl taurus....I know they existed but dang they've got to be run down.

The SHO's are BEASTS and will pwnz jo0

They might own me in the protege, but just let me get the land cruiser out to the track with its beastly 250 hp I-6 dragging around 5600 pounds :(:(:(:( My friend beat me in that beast with his 97 suburban puling two jet skis.

hahaha, the land cruiser is a dog, but you can screw about 4 fat chicks in the back of that thing!! That's gotta count for something!

damn the cabbys where i lived drove the old cop cars with the cop packeges still in them with some aftermarget kit for there motor and anybody that knows about the packges they put in a cop car knows that there badd ass hate fords but those cops sure as f##k get one hell of a fun car to beat to hell
