Shaniqua be thy name.
Its funny how life turns out. Never say never they say. Ill never drive a Ford. Ever. Yet, here i am...die hard Ford now. Thats what happens when your chevy dealerships try to fuck you. Mustangs arent just a car...theyre a lifestyle.
I got my mustang shortly after getting married. From there, i decided i wanted to make it faster, since ive always had a love of cars, just never an opportunity to do anything. I wasnt about to pass this opportunity up. So, i began reading. Meeting people. Why is this guy fast? What does he have done to make him fast? Me and my wife are divorced now, and me and Shaniqua have had some rough times, but i think we're reconciling.

That says it all.

Here we are together. As a former GM guy, my ultimate car in life was a corvette. Since me and Shaniqua have been togther we've had many battles on the street. Some won, some lost. Of course, in the beginning the losses were greater than the wins....but i would slowly begin the steps to turn it around. Nitrous would be the first step toward victory. Of course, the #1&2 cylinders didnt take the new found glory so well...so we would wind up building her bigger and stronger.

Cute couple huh? With the new blower, cams and a built shortblock the hp was high and so was the confidence. But, even though the victorys were coming more frequently there was still one thing lacking....the knowlegde and skill of the powershift. It would take several months and many missed shifts (resulting in a broken transmission), but the skills of that dark art are now mine. Victims came by the truck load...camaros, firebirds, turbocharged imports, Lightnings,corvettes...even the mighty Z06 all fell. I even got a run in with a Porsche that ended with him seeing the taillights. Ah, life was good. But then the word began to spread...
and the races became fewer. The only guys left were the big dogs who only roll on trailers and a quarter mile of pavement for 10 seconds or less seemed to be the only option. But going for other cars in my league, why would i want to step up the heavyweight when im a lightweight? The races became fewer and fewer. Then the broke parts came and came and came...along with frustration and aggravation. However, before the parts started breaking, we wound up seeing an 11.85@116 mph at virginia motorsports park...with only nitto drag radials.

Alas, my spirit is renewed! Ive been working to reforge the close relationship we once had. I miss my ole girl...we've been neglecting each other. Im gonna show her the love, and get some loving right back!
So, thats the story of me&Shaniqua...thanks for reading! |
