Crazed street racers

LateralG'z · 03-17-2010, 07:58 PM

I love doing that too, except the other day some dumba** almost lost control and just about ran over some pedestrians so I think I am just going to ignore them so I don't see anyone die.

Ever notice how many ricers are belching tons of smoke from their exhaust?

I even get people in trucks and minivans that rev at me, its hilarious. Here's a solution, do 5% tint all around like me, you can stare at them all you want and they wont even know

Truck gearing FTW!

I used to own a Mazda Rotary Pickup. Thing was way sick at stoplights.

You know the funny thing is that now since I have the z noone really tries to race me anymore around where I live.. When I had my VW gli and civic si people use to try and race me allllll the time. Ever since I got my z that stopped. The only person who's tried to race me in my 7 months of ownership is a gto.

Most street racing morons like to pick on cars that they know they can beat.

happens every once in a while

i dont pay them much attention anymore

Ahhh this is really annoying, I had this happen to me yesterday.

Driving on a 2 lane highway around philly, an eclipse starts riding my ***, pulls into the next lane and flies by me...he slows down so we're next to each other again....he pulls off again. He did this 3 times. Oh and he was doing this while it was POURING rain.

i have had great respect for corvettes ever since a corvette driver showed me how fast his car was at the stoplights a number of years ago.

i felt like my car was going in reverse as he was accelerating

kenchan · 03-13-2010, 10:39 AM

not so much near by but when i go west a little too far from my area rednecks in pickups want to race all the time. a few years ago i was joking that whenever you see too many blondies in red pontiacs you went out too far.

hahahaha.

now a days they drive hyundais and kia's...

I only got stoplight raced once and it was one of those new Z4s.

Fun times.

but other than that

NOBODY wants to race me. I guess that all the freaks are stuck in golfs or civics

based upon the videos i have seen on youtube, if a lotus exige came along, I would roll down the window and tell the driver: "you win"

I live next to MUSTANG-VILLE, and wheather they have a 98 or 09, they always try and woof me. I let them do their thing...my car wasn't built to be stupid. I still have respect for the Mustang "America's Pony" but DAYMN, the owners are dense!
