Your smoke stained my paint!

Ever since I moved my plate forward and cranked the starwheel my '95 will lay down a pretty thick cloud until it starts building boost. I need to crank the star wheel back just a little.

Last weekend my wife and I were leaving a friends house in this ritzy development and this young lady in a red sports car was just riding my butt all the way through the development. We finally got to the stop sign where you pull out on the main 2-lane road and I really got on it to put some distance between me and her. When I hit 3rd and mashed on it, a heavy black cloud settled on the road from my turndown. The lady in the fast little red car actually stopped in the middle of the road, pulled over into the wrong lane, drove around the smoke cloud and then back into the right lane. Of course another smoke cloud followed the shift to 4th. That time she drove through it, but was flailing her arm out the window to tell me how much she appreciated it. I really wasn't trying to smoke her out, but she sure thought I was screwing with her. Even my wife was laughing after that chick drove around the cloud and she very rarely appreciates anything to do with loud pipes and smoke.

I guess that young gal thought I was going to ruin her paint. She made a point to come flying around us at a high rate of speed on the 4-lane. Oh well, some folks just don't understand
