Bought the new clutch for the Honda and will take a stab at swapping it out this Friday/Saturday.

On the way home, I got 'smoked' by some Chica in a de-badged black car - it looked like a newer Neon or something - couldn't tell by all the Ricer parts and aftermarket JDM parts hanging off it. It looked like a fairly nice car, except for the fact they must've driven by AutoZone with the crap-magnet turned on.

We were pretty much side-by-side all the way down Knickerbocker (probably because there was a cop 2 cars ahead of us). She's rolling thinking she's all bad and stuff, but I made it through the last light before the on-ramp to the Loop before she did, so I hopped on the ramp and took off like I normally do (I don't like to waste time on the on-ramp - especially with all the Hero-Trucks flying down the Loop to run over my little hatch. I guess she was in a bigger hurry because she flew by me once we cleared the ramp onto the Loop. Of course, her car had some kind of boost going on (supercharger or NOS - who knows) and I got nuthin' but 92 horsepower and a K&N air filter (but I guess my car looks race-worthy or something...).

Had I known she wanted to race... well, then - she still would've smoked me (who am I kidding... my car's a wimpy little econo-box). But Hey - at least I would've been 'losing a race' as opposed to 'just watching her go by.'
