Beat the Javelin, but %$#@% engine ticking now

I just found out the story on this race. It seemed strange to me, but I found out what happened today. A few days ago my daughter and I were cruising in the Dart to get pizza. At the local O'Reilly's there was a car with a scoop on it parked in the lot and everyone was circling around it, including all the employees I knew. We were doing maybe 25 or 30 and I barked the tires to draw their attention. It worked and my daughter thought it was funny. Apparently the car was the Javelin, but I didn't know it. The owner thought I was a smart *** and because he has a "really built" motor he was going to "track his *** down" and teach me a lesson in humility. When I talked to him and his wife at the stoplight, he just scowled and never said anything. She was friendly, though. Now I know why. And the lesson? Well, I guess he got taken to school that day and not me. He lost pretty badly and I didn't hook up well. So much for a "really built" motor. My buddy at O'Reilly's told me the story today. I laughed my *** off!
