So…. You want my story about my car being bashed, OK. I own a 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco with a tune, high flow intake, sticky tires and a 6 speed stick. Someone heard the waste gate taking a load off and decided to give me some grief about my "turbo Cruze"(it's a 1.4L with a factory turbo) at a light. Said moron was driving a Focus, I think it was around the same year as mine, so you can see where this is going. In case you were wondering, even if my Cruze was stock it could beat a Focus from the same generation in every respect, especially fuel economy. He pulled up saying that he was going to beat me onto the freeway entrance ramp and I was about to let him, but I remembered that I hadn't let my car stretch her legs in a while. I gave him a nod and the light turned green. He thought he had me until I grabbed second gear, with a hiss and a hum, I was out front by a length and then some. I shifted to to third early and walked away while he got stuck in the ramp traffic. I just hope the guy in the Explorer on my right didn't put a hit out on me(I beat him, too).
