well its a long story how this race ended up, it involved me telling my brother that my friend was whipping some butt when we were heading to my uncles house to go swimming with the rest of my other boys (2.0 laser, 92 bmw,2.2 accord and my buddy's 1.8 gt..ever car is stock with miner up grades). My brother drives a 1982 mercury Ln7 with a 1.9 HO swap with 5spd and my buddy drives a 1.8 Dohc 94 ford escort GT and thought he could take my friends 1.8 gt and my brother wanted to race him i thought my brother was going to beat him. So, my brother found a good location to get a little run from so i lined them up and they lunched off the line. i was so shocked to see my brother lose by a car length and a half i thought my brother was going to at least keep up to him at least till 3rd but i was wrong my buddy took him from start to finish.:mad: I felt really bad for my brother and wanted to get some revenge by racing my boy with my baron but he said no My car is to fast and it wouldn't be fair and i'm like Damn it:mad: .

I like the Ln7

The escort looks like it has the wrong wheels on it...

....The escort looks like it has the wrong wheels on it...

Actually, it's "butterflied" or "bow-legged".... I thought that crap died in the 90's??

In the interest of good taste I thought about making an ethnic reference too, but decided against posting it.

Heavy wheel bearing load/wear FTL!

Pretty sure those wheel aren't installed in the pic. Notice in the back the buy holding the wheel up.

Lmao Know my boss was selling a set of wheels and my buddy's (the one holding the tire in the picture) was trying to see how they would look. This was the only picture i had.

For the Ln7 i chose the wheels for my brother and help out with the strip that Ln7 is soon to be TURBO with my help.
