My car is so slow that if it took me any longer to get to work, I would pass myself coming home

What’s bad is when you own a slow car that a lot of young people don’t know what it is and assumes it’s fast because of the way it looks.....914

or a 1st gen MR2 with a header and straight pipe exhaust, sounded fast. I had people think i was trying to sandbag them when i told them it ran a 17.1 in the quarter mile... and that was with 272 cams...

My car's so slow I had to brake check the combine that was drafting me. Rodney Dangerfield wouldn't give me any respect, and Ralph Nader said that I wasn't fast enough to be dangerous.

Studio Audience:  HOW SLOW IS IT?

Gene Rayburn:  I'll tell ya how slow it is.  Last night on my way home from the autocross, I lost a drag race to a [BLANK].

My '86 Fifth Avenue did the 1/4 mile in 21 seconds. Yes. 21 seconds.

My friend was in the stands and reported the following to me: The first pass people assumed something had gone wrong. By the third pass people were yelling at me to get off the track

My car is so slow.  

I had one of the local autocross front runners ride along to coach me.  After the run he said my driving isn’t the problem.

Friend showed up to the drag strip with 3 pounds of loose change in the console and nobody asked him to remove it. Which is fine, because it didn't go anywhere.

My 0 to 60 time is 32 years and counting....

 

On the drive to the lake I have 13 spots where I can pull over and pretend to look for something in the back so all the cars piled up behind me can get on with their drive...

The new speed bumps at the hospital are too close and I cannot get up enough momentum to make it over the second one.....

I drove through a swarm of love bugs without any bug casualties.....
