Good thing your car didn't get hit, do you know why the guy locked up his brakes in the first place?

Haha @ the guy with the Kia who thought he could take a Nova.

I'm assuming he did it just to mess with the Kia.

Nidex, Welcome to our world!

Talk about a close one!

Idiots that race in residential areas need to be given a firm beating!

I'm sure they were sore the next morning. They didn't stick around for the cops.

Didn't the '66 Nova II just have a straight or slant 6?

IIRC, you could get it with a straight six or some larger V8 sizes. Slant 6 was a MoPar engine.

'course, there'* no telling what the street racing Nova could have had in it, except that I doubt it would have been the straight 6...

Yeah, that'* right. May have been a 6 to race a Kia. Then again, he didn't prove that he was the sharpest tool in the shed...
