Ruf CTR-2.  that is a SICK car.  520HP out of a 3.6 litre engine.  hey, wait
a minute, the engine in my Xterra is 3.6 litres.  hmmmmmmmmm, i need to talk
to Herr Ruf.  ;)

i wish i had the ARB Bull Bar for my Xterra.  i had a great riceboy experience
on sunday.  some idiot riceboy was riding the left lane like he owned it, and
without even having to slow down i slipped right, and cut him off pretty hard
on the way back left.  i cut him off a little harder than i originally meant
to, but then i don't have much pity for those idiots who ride the left lane.
thinking he's gonna be cool, he zips by me on the right (gotta give him credit
for the move he pulled, it wasn't that shabby) pulls in front of me and drops
down his speed to block me.

not being the most intelligent asshole in the world, he doesn't block properly
and leaves me an oppourtunity to pass him again on the right.  so i drop down
to 4th and gun it.  170HP, 200lb-ft torque, 4000lbs curb weight, not exactly
the worlds zippiest vehicle.  he couldn't touch me.  he tried REALLY hard, and
his poor little rice mobile bellow an ungodly amount of burnt oil smoke, but
he didn't stand a chance.  the second time i cut him off i did it so hard he
choose to not fuck with me anymore.

now if i had my ARB, i would have given him a little love tap from behind.
broken a little of his plastic, and REALLY pissed him off.  ;)
