More of the Hoovie G.T. 350H race car saga
« on: November 20, 2021, 11:48:39 PM »
"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

I didn't realize how hard it is to drive it ( first signs of regrets ) Its a group B race car and I am not prequalified to drive it

Wait until he runs out of 110 octane gas and puts 93 octane  premium in it...lol !

Quick question,  I noticed Hoover has a bunch of cars, what line of work is he into?

Does he sell gerbils and hamsters to the after market ?

Breeds salamanders part time in his garage ?

Grows hanging potatoes in Epcots 
 ( Disney World ) Tomorrowland ?

Please tell me please ! (don't play B17)

Put plates on it and drive it on the street. It makes Corvettes disappear.

Doubt that seriously with the cars lack of traction and the driver ability.

This loud black car will be VANQUISHED on the street by any new stock Mustang GT or Vette

110 fuel @ $11.00/gal.will make those street miles expensive, plus I can hardly wait till he drives it in town and has to stop quickly. He will run up the back of the car ahead of him because his race pads need to be hot to function. What a tool!

Gee, it's too much car for this snowflake to know how to drive. 

Apparently, it takes more than a goofy expression and jumping around like a hyperactive child, to be able to handle a vintage race car.

My 1970s group of car buddies would call a guy like this a "F***-Stick."

Ah, leave him alone.

He learned to drive in a video game. He needs to come to grips with reality, like for one thing, "gee, I could get killed driving this thing?"

Snowflakes melt and disappear. He will too.

Badabing....He didn't give specifics, but he alluded that income from his channel is a six-figure sum, supported by YouTube ads and various sponsorships.
