A Tiburon is still Just a Hyundai
 
I love these little Goofs that drive Hyundai Tiburons. I was driving down Calgary Trail tonight on my way home when a red Tiburon, pulls up next to me. the only mod he had seemed to have done, was red Tire-fly's (the goofy little Red lights taht flash on the valve stems of a car). So at 34th ave we are revving a little, and bang the lights turn green. So i mat it, catch the Friction point just right and we are racing. So I decide that 120km/h is the fastest I will go and Low and behold...I was 1/2 a carlength ahead of him. Now I know it is not a 'cake walk' or anything but this Hyundai piece of crap was a V6, so I was pretty happy that I didn't lose, let alone that I won. In fact I even told my wife just before we took off that I would proabably lose to him because It was a V6. I guess I was wrong.

I love my car!

Are there lots of Bugs in the winter in Calgary? There aren't in Edmonton.
