Matchbox or gtfo

LOL ok. I'll play.

How old were you when you first discovered your passion for vehicles?
My dad tinkered with cars when I was little. And I don't remember, but my parents used to tell me, when he was working on his Scirocco, I insisted on being outside in the dead of winter. I was barely old enough to walk. I remember vaguely pouncing around the inside of my dads huge Olds 98 Regency and how plush and boat like that car was. I think this is when the love for cars started.

Did you have Hotwheels as a kid? If so, how many?
I had maybe a dozen or so. What interested me later was hotwheels like cars that had a key and on the bottom you could stick the key in and lock the doors and they wouldn't open. My car toys were remote controlled cars, and the race track cars with the trigger switches. I also had a Jeep (HAYYYY) manual powered car, had foot pedals that alternated for its source of movement. It was tan plastic bodied with a steel roll bar. I remember being upset because it didnt have a keyhole or keys, and wasnt 'realistic' enough. My real obsession as a kid was keys. I loved keys. Car keys, house keys, etc. My parents friends used to give me keys to cars that they sold and had spares, and I would study them and keep them in a tackle box.


What's your preferred jam whilst "switchin4lanes"?
Haha. Varies. Killswitch Engage is good for rage driving. I brought a lot of Pat green with me for 'calmer' driving. Rick Ross is also good for cruising. I have a very wide and eclectic taste in Music. I've exposed all of the team leads that work for me to everything from Gary Allan to Clutch to Kanye West.

What's your typical Whataburger order?
Whatachicken with two meats, all the way, no mayo, onion rings and iced tea.

How do you like your steak cooked?

Rare

What state would you reside in if you weren't able to live in Texas?
Probably Illinois/Missouri to be closer to my nieces.

That would have to be either the chicken choker in the randalls parking lot or freeway tag on memorial drive. You guys pick.

Not really picky. I like all kinds of beer. Blue Moon is one of my top picks, as is Shiner Holiday Cheer.

Hmm. I like Courvoisier (winter drink). Also a big fan of sidecars (summer drink)

In the early 2000s, the JayZ and Jermaine Dupris song "Money aint a thing", theres a line that says "switchin four lanes" and I thought it would be funny to see if anyone caught it. I thought about changing my user name. 1ags or JuanEggs seems to stick well.

The first time I did that the lady looked at me kind of funny and then goes "I always wanted to try that"

Suggest he look at a Subaru Outback of the same vintage.

Freeway tag

I was thinking beat the guy senseless, but we'll try your idea first.

He installed whale pen!s seat covers in Chuck Norris' car

I mentioned this thread to some of your former profs in Scoates Hall and their response was...we always thought he was pretty much cut out to be a used car dealer and that was about it.










(Then they laughed real hard and said.....type that in....he'll like that)

I don't understand how maintaining a fleet of Ford Escapes for an insurance company could make someone a Ford fanboy. I think 1Ags has been a Ford guy for a long time.

What few people know is that Henry Ford started working on a program to create a genetically enhanced automotive super guru. He was not having much success, and towards the end of his life he collaborated with the US Government. The first live test subject failed so badly that Ford promptly died of a brain hemorrhage. Some of the side effects allowed Steve Rogers to achieve minor success as a superhero, but he was constantly haunted by the memory he could never achieve his true purpose.

While the project was officially abandoned, a lone scientist/engineer kept working on it in secret. He had finally perfected the serum, when he was struck by a meteor while on his way to Whataburger to celebrate. When the smoke around the meteor and Crown Vic wreckage cleared, a young couple found a baby clutching a steering wheel. No one is sure where he came from, but no one has ever questioned his true purpose in life.

I think that explains some of the Ford enthusiasm, but not necessarily all of it.

How many stuck or broken sparkplugs has 1Ags removed from a Ford Triton?


Probably 30 or 40.

Fortunately, the ones I remove are replaced with ones that I apply nickel anti sieze on and they never break again.

Freeway tag

So one of my close friends since 5th grade turned 16 before I did, and got his dads Mitsubishi Galant Sigma (late 80s vintage). That he despised. Soon after I turned 16, and I bought my dream car at time. A 1990 Ford LTD Crown Victoria LX. It wasnt fast, it wasnt cool, but it was the car I wanted. This pissed my friend off to no end, even more so that I had been saving every penny of my lawn mowing, pet sitting, manual labor money for this car. So he did his best to destroy the Galant. His parents continued taking it to get fixed, until repeated neutral drops destroyed it.

So they bought him a brand new 1995 Thunderbird V8. It was not a Mustang but he drove it like it was. 215 hp vs 160 hp in the LTD, and a few hundred pounds less, of course it would be faster than my car.

One day when I was leaving work from Randalls, he spotted me on memorial and blew by me in the turn lane. I caught up and passed him and slowed down, but he had to win, so he passed me again in the turn lane, and cut me off and tried to pass the camry in front of me from the right. Well, the camry saw him coming, and moved to the right at the same time, pushing my buddy into the ditch and onto a raised concrete pad with a manhole cover. I saw the rear end of the paper tagged T bird fly up and the airbags go off as I passed it. I stopped and got out to help my buddy, and the old man, who was not hurt. My friends neighbor saw the whole thing, and being the typical Jewish mother that she is, insisted on taking him home to make him a sandwich and call his mother. I reminded her that he could not leave because he was the driver. She thought that was proposterous, and said for us to wait right there. As if we were going anywhere. She returned 20 minutes later with 2 sandwiches and a thermos of tomato soup. So we could eat while we waited for the police to show up. I figured it was our last meal, so we should enjoy it.

Meanwhile, since we're both 1/2 mile away from our house, everyone knows us. I see a white cutlass cruiser wagon drive by, and its my next door neighbor. She immediate gets home and tells my mother, who shows up, and tells me to go home. I explain to her tht I can't since I'm a witness. So she goes back and glares at me from her car while we wait for the cops.

His mom shows up, screams at him, because she KNEW exactly what we were doing, and then the police take a statement and the police officer sites the old man for not looking. Nobody said anything about our freeway tag game. Both insurance companies sided with my buddy, and about a week later, he was in another brand new 95 Thunderbird V8 terrorizing memorial drive again. Later I remember going to the dealer with him to get his stuff out of the first car, and I saw remember clearly, 114 miles on the odometer.

The most interesting man in the world can fix anything. But when he can't solve a car issue, he lights 1Ags call.

Ha. I don't even know his cell number.

That's a pretty mean question since there's no Whataburger in China!

He gets my 5000th post <3

Bewbs for post 5001 then

1ags is the only person existence to do a full HCI upgrade on a Prius. Ford "borrowed" the idea several years back, and used their findings to bring back the Ford GT.

He's Ferris Bueller all grown up.

Whachu know bout switchin lanes on the woodgrain
