Well, not literally, but my actions will cause the death of an MR2 down the road.
I showed the worst driver I know what a *real* car is capable of, and now he wants to buy one ;(. He invited me over to his house, said he wanted to show me some parts he was putting on his cavalier. The guy is a HUGE ricer, learned how to race from watching fast and furious a million times. I was polite and came. He was telling me how he was gonna slap an ebay bodykit on his car, and invest 10,000 into the motor and I kept saying little comments like "You know, the 3sgte, you dont have to invest 5000 into strengthening its bottom end, its built for boost and can handle 450whp on stock internals from the factory." OR I said "My transmission was used for WRC in celica's. Its a strong transmission, and I dont have to put in all new gears just to be able to drag race it, 500whp mr2's have used these trannys without them breaking before" And unfortunately, he paid attention and now he wants an MR2 Turbo.
I drove with him in his turd cavalier, and he nearly killed me! He swore he was Paul Walker from the fast and the furious, and tried the dumbest ____ I have ever seen any1 do in a car. He revved his little ricer pos cav up to its redline and bounced off the rev limiter, its primered grey with a magnaflow exhaust just to let me know he was out side when i first met him. Huge Ricer way to say hello. Then he proceeded to show me how he drove this car around town. Lets see, he revved at a woman in her v6 eclipse, he would try racing dodge avengers and v6 mustangs. He tried passing a car on a single lane bridge at 90 mph in his cavalier, by hugging up against the bridge rail REALLY close. I swore I was going to die. Like I said, he is a real life version of Paul Walker from the fast and the furious. He even told me he wants to own an orange supra with a bodykit hjust like in fast and furious.
Now he wants to trade in his cavalier, for an MR2 Turbo. He totaled his last cavalier and bought an appropriate 500 dollar replacement. This is the kind of guy that drives his cars really hard, and totals them, and replaces them with another. I imagine he might burn through 3 or 4 dueces before he gets bored of them. He is the worst driver, he can barely handle a 100hp cavalier, and now I got him hooked on looking for 300whp mr2 turbos, and I do not think he can handle one. I think the man is going to kill himself, possibly some other people, and an already rare MR2 Turbo, I feel guilty.
Ive seen how his friends drive too. He is friends with a group of NA DSM ricers called cams and gears. There president was this kid named Harley I met one time. Hes quite well known with the local street racers around here, because he drives like a maniac. He would floor it through movie theatres, and pull the ebrake on his RS eclipse and do donuts. He died at the beginning of the year, less than a mile from my house, he was driving too fast in the rain at 2am, and came upon the turn and flipped it, was ejected because he wasnt wearing a seatbelt and got hit by another car, body unrecognizable. Everyone that knew him, all the street racers, not to talk bad on him, came to the conclusion that Natural Selection was the actual cause of death.
Jerry hangs out with this cams and gears clubs, and there all about cutting people off and driving like maniacs. THeyll change lanes really fast to make them look cool, and pull the ebrake while driving there cavaliers, civics and NA DSM's to get the back ends to drift out, in crowded traffic on fast roads. ANd now Jerry is getting an MR2 Turbo because of me, definitly the wrong person to possess this wonderful car.
Hes told me what his plans are for the car. Fiberglass the interior, neon underglows, an ebay bodykit, a FMIC (You read that right). The kid doesnt know ANYTHING about cars, let alone turbo cars. He treats all his cars like sh**.
Can anyone give me some insight or comments to not make me feel as bad about losing a duece to a kid who cant drive? I wish I hadnt shown him the car.
