Hey Pride-ful Probers, :) PLEASE READ THIS... YOU MIGHT FIND IT HUMOROUS! I thought I'd share with you all a little story concerning my car. As you may or may not know, I live in Iowa, and the weather has been really crappy until a few days ago. It's been like 60's this week, so I've been drivin all nice with my windows down and moonroof open. Anyway.. I was driving home from class yesterday and I was on this road in town that switches from two-lanes to one. Well, I was driving the speed limit (enjoying the weather), in the left lane, and there were about 3 or 4 cars behind me. All of a sudden, this idiot in this POS cavalier pulls out into the right lane and starts passing all of the cars behind me. I immediately grin with anticipation.. As he gets closer to passing me, we're all approaching the merge portion.. and he has to get over. Well, I really hate when people do this, so as he started to pass me, i downshifted to third and mashed the gas to the floor. For a few seconds he continued to "try" keeping up, but then seeing the lane ending, slowed.... and so did i. Enough that he had to stomp on the brake and let EVERYONE behind me pass him so he could get back into the left lane before he ended up in the ditch. I was laughing horrendously at this turn-of-events, and turned into the turning lane to turn left onto my street. He comes flying up behind me.. and gets right on my ass. So, I do what any other Probe enthusiast would do, and smoked my tires while turning left and took off. After I reached 55, I looked back to see him WAY back there. Again, I laughed. Then I turned into my parking lot, and he stopped. And here's what the guy said: "why dont you keep your piece of shit discontinued car out of my fucking way! and go fuck yourself!" I simply laughed in his cavalier-havin' face, and proceeded to walk inside. Anyone have any Probe stories... I personally would like to hear them! Later guys(and gal), Tim '93 PSE www.public.iastate.edu/~thanson PSE LOVE! Ta hell with all of you guys that want out, thats what i say! :)

What kind mods do you have on your car? Was the cav a6 cylinder? Because I got killed not to long ago buy a pretty new cav. I felt like dirt... of course that was before the headers and exhaust Pete 93se (manual) my little civic slayer pacesetter air intake bosal header and catback

I dont think it was a 6-cylinder. It was a 97 or so. I only have a K&N... thats it. Tim

Well, i'd hope Tim would know if it was a V6...cavalier...Z24...2.8 or 3.1 which would blow our probes away. The dude sounds like a psycho...and bravo to T.J. for smokin the jerk, I hate people in P.O.S.'s showin off...which is probably why they drive P.O.S.'s, cuz they cause accidents:) Yay! Carolyn >

This is for all of you guys who love to kill hondas, well I live in WA, Olympia and the car that everyone and their mamma has, is (you guessed it) a Honda Civic, i was coming home from the muffler shop (i had my muffler removed) and i was just getting used to the sound, as this wanna be pimped out Honda came up to the light with me, he started revvin and i heard his intake, the other thing was, that he had only his girl in is car, and i had my boys (about 3) and i raced the crap out of him, goin about 70 in a 30 and each time he caught up, i'd just revv the engine, blare my exhaust, and kill him again. So i'm glad, that i made the rice burner feel hella dumb, so i'm glad about that. More power to you tim with that cavalier and I'm glad i got on this mailing list, cuz i'd be nowhere and probally ownin some other car. thanx guys nathan 93 SE

Hey all. I too am glad that I joined the list. It's the best thing that I could have done for my car. Here's a story for you guys. Near where I live, Redmond, WA, there's a two-lane road that merges down into one about 500 ft. after a stop light. It's the middle of a sunny day, and there are only two cars on the road. There's a Porsche 944 ahead of me stopped at the light, and I'm coming up behind him. Feeling a little frisky, and always wanting to test my baby, I swing out to the right, into the lane that ends after the light. We make eye contact and I rev to 6 1/2(of course) and the Porsche proceeds to rev and start to inch forward. The light changes and yours truly in his 94 Base proceeds to smoke the Porsche, getting in front of him and pulling away all the way to about 75 when my minimal respect for speed laws caused me to brake. I have no idea how this happened, but that is certainly the crown jewel in my racing career. Have fun, Jordan

Ok, here's my story although I own a GT I felt obligated to boast. I live in a small shit hole town where there is nothing to do so every Friday and Saturday night every body takes there cars out and cruises the block and shows off thier cars. Well while I was down town tonight a bright yellow mustang all decked out with a Daytona hood and ground effects and with a 351 modified for power, pulled up beside me at the red light and the kid started piping it to beat hell. Now I know this is a tough car and it is supposably the car to beat, so anyway he rolled down his window looked at my car and started laughing and yelled do you want to run that piece of shit now my car is not the worlds fanciest car in the world but god damn it, its my car and I am going to defend it so I just nodded and we set up to drag race on the usual route (three blocks long to the next light) so anyway the light turned green and I gunned it, for about a block he kept up with me, but after that it was all me and I beat him by three carlengths this made very proud and made him very pissed. Pissed off enough that he took his car home and I didn't see him the rest of the night Long Live The Probe. Jeremy 94PGT Custom exaust no engine modifications >

Nathan just for your information we own riceburners, if you didnt already know. just because it says ford doesnt mean our cars dont run on rice. (Mazda Engines) kevin Don't forget, we have Mitsubishi distributors and starters. Are the Probes just thrown together? Who knows, but I know this; I LOVE MY PROBE!!!!!

Tim, I just had to reply to this story. I have had a few encounters like this myself, and I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one that likes to put people in their place, especially someone driving a POS, thinking they're going to smoke me. I only have the 2.0 in my probe, but it's usually enough to lay the smack down. I just put my probe back on the road two weeks ago, and within one week I had a guy in a fairly new eclipse that thought he was going to pass me on the NYS thruway. At 75 I downshifted to third, nearly redlined my tach, but when I hit fourth he was trying hard to keep up. He lost the will to win around 110, and I was thrilled. I also slowed down real quick for fear of a ticket that would cost me more than just my license. If anyone else has a decent story, I'd love to hear it. Tim, keep up the good driving...

Hey kevin, i know that we've got rice burners, and i love my probe also! but the general term of "rice burner" usually means japanese import. So when I say rice burner i mean honda, acura, mitsubishi etc... i know a lot about my car and that its made by mazda, but i really love to beat the shit out of civics, because everyone and their mamma has one where i live, and whoever doesnt have one really wants one. Its disgusting!!!!!!!
