Alright let me start by describing my car. I bought it a few months ago for 800 since it has some pretty nasty rust. The kid that had it before me put on a full cat back exhaust, and just basicaly clear corners.
I was on my way home from work tonight. There is a main stretch of road between my town and the neighbooring one and it's about 12-15 miles and is relatively straight. I go about seven miles into it, then turn left to go home. you can keep going to the next town where my dad works though. Well I was sitting at an intersection and there is a jetta in front of me. Have no idea what year it is, not brand new but newer. Giant muffler, more neon lights inside of it than most small strip clubs. Well I can see through the window that there are two people in there and when the light turns green they are going about 20 in a 45 zone. It's two lanes each way so I'm thinking if they don't move then I'll just pass them, no biggie. Well they keep going that fast and I figure I might as well just pass them. So I pull into the other lane and pull up beside them and just happen to glance over. There is a guy driving and his girl is in the passenger seat. So I think nothing of it and start to get towards the speed limit of 45. Well the guy pulls up right beside me. I don't care I'll just get behind him or something. So I slow down and so does he. I say to hell with it and just gun it. Not sure how fast I was going, I doubt it was more than 105 or anything like that. But I pulled on him harder than. . well . . I was a good distance ahead of him. So I take my turn and I'm on way home and I decide to stop at the one store to say hi to a friend of mine. Well as I'm walking out this jetta pulls up in the parking lot beside my car and I kid you not "yo shit dood, that was some crazy stuff. What all you got done to yours?" So I told him there was an exhaust. He made it a point to show me his car, the amazing auto tranny, the cool neon lights, his seat covers. Then he pops the hood and tells me to guess what kind of power he was pushing. I made a guess of 125. He told me that he just finished rebuilding his engine with new pistons, cams, and a port and polish. Said he had about 250 horses. I kinda chuckled at him and he kept asking me to pop my hood because he didn't believe it was stock.
Any one else run into guys like this? The failures of the school of BS? The "if I say I have it and put the sticker on it must be true". And if so how bad were they?

! Although I do hate people like that.. I mean I was there once but i've never gave a huge un-realistic number, they were always realistic and like 10-15 more than the bhp rating. None the less good kill... stupid people driving VW's w/ neons these days. 
Oil leak?What oil leak? That's just sweat from all that horsepower!
