Or would Mombo not go for that sort of wildness?

Sorry, but i don't think that i can invite you guys ......
but talking about wildness, yesterday, about 7:00 PM when we were going home after a day of packing stuff that we hadn't moved from the place that we were living at since Sept. '03 until about a week ago, we had some fun teasing a ricer-boy/girl.....
My Mom was driving and i was sitting next to her and our car ('02 Jeep Grand Cherokee) was packed with stuff, on top of which my Mom put a chair and it was visible to teh outside world even though it was already getting dark outside and the streetlights where on. We pulled out of the driveway turned left, then left again and then right and stopped at a light, waited, and then turned right,and ended up behind an '02 Toyota Celica which had two more cars in front of it waiting for the light to turn green. The lane to the right of us was completely empty. Whoever drove the Toyota, kept constantly revving up the engine so that everyone heard the sound that the muffler makes and it got pretty annoying. I looked at the Toyota and pointed out to my Mom, that all the accessories (muffler, wing, etc.) where genuine TRD (Toyota Racing Development) parts. My Mom commented that the car sounds like rhino....i think she ment "rhino farting", that comment is commonly used by owners of domestic cars to describe the noise that ricers make. I agreed. The light turned green and we turned right and then zoomed past the Toyota and the other two cars. I didn't watch the speed, but i saw that that engine was 4,500 RPM, and i HEARD that too. The light turned yellow and we turned left again and our car became the first car on the left lane, while the right lane stayed empty. As soon as the light turned green we took off, but the other light already turned yellow. We turned left and went towards the lanes that had the 'left' arrow and stopped and waited for the green, just like everyone else. We where at the line on the left lane of the "turn left" lanes. A guy on a Hyndai (forgot how to spell that) with a pearl-white paint job, i think the model of the car is GX300 or something of that sort, pulled up next to us and rolled down his window. My window was half open. He said "A$$HOLE" in a calm, quiet voice, and my Mom asked me i heard what the guy said and i asked her if the guy was really talking to us. She said that the guy WAS talking to us and i said that i heard "A$$HOLE". She said that she heard the same. Right after the guy said that i was gonna give him teh bird, but my Mom rolled up the window before i could do so. The Toyota ricer was right behind us, and when the light turned green we took off and turned left before everyone else did. The guy next to us turned left too and then when we turned left again and stopped at a light and waited on the "turn left" lane, he turned right and the Toyota ricer kept going at 70MPH past us while we waited at the stop light.

I need some help with the meaning of what the guy on a Hyndai was saying....

And it seems like all ricer-boys hate us.....when my Mom was going to pick me up from school today, on the way there, a guy on "an ugly gray honda" as my Mom described it, threw a rock at my Mom's car when she unintentionally beat him.
What should we expect thrown at us next?
Tomatoes?
Eggs?
or Hand Grenades?(spelling?)

Well, that's sort of amusing. Any idiot would know that a V8 Jeep will take any common import off the line. A Jeep might weigh twice as much as an import, but it's got three times the torque at peak RPM. After about second gear though, it's all over. Ricers don't think of things like that when street racing. Light to light is all about torque, not top speed.

As for throwing rocks, well that's a crime. Kids are dumb and violent these days. It's a fad.

I heard a saying, "Horsepower sells cars, but torque wins races." So true, so true....
