I finally fixed my metro after having some problems with the pistons. I had to replace my titanium ones
with adamantium ones to handle the power. Anyways, i was just driving home from La jolla when I see a z8 roadster
and a new SRT-4 lined up at the light on a 3 lane road (la jolla village dr.). Naturally I line up to the side and start revving.
They both look at me weird because of my funny lookin metro and then they laughed. The light turned green and my
car roared forward dusting the SRT-4 by 96 car (metro) lengths and murdering the z8 by about 52 car lengths.

I waited for them at the next light (about 6 minutes) and wanted to give them the thumbs up. The neon had about 25 lbs
of asphalt on the bumper and the z8 had some asphalt sprayed on the left fender. The neon owner was pissed but what
could he do. I own a v12 supercharged metro and there was no way he could catch up to me. I made it back to my house in
mira mesa in 46 seconds.

Sorry, but Project Pwnage Metro is top secret. Just know that it pwnz and produces about 700 hp and 768 ft lbs of torque at the wheels.
Most of the BMW planeteers have seen it.
