Lo and behold, guess who was waiting for him? Our friendly town deputy bill in his whie crown vic and his flashy blue and reds. I drove by, laughed and gave the thumbs up. Street racing is a no-no. Damn noobs.

Excellent!!!

this happened to me a couple Saturdays ago...I was driving home on a desserted freeway at about 2:30AM, I noticed in my passenger mirror a car hauling *ss up and he braked hard in his Impala to hover along side my car...I sped up a little and he did the same, he braked a little and he did the same...I looked over at him and he played stupid as if he didn't even noticed me or noticed anything weird he's doing. So I slammed on my brake, and pulled 3 car length back, all of a sudden I saw him slam on his brake and pulled back next to me...I looked over again, and he's still acting like he didn't noticed me...so I got pissed off...and once we got over a hump on the freeway and I saw that there were no cars ahead of us for about half a mile, I dropped to 3rd and took off...he tried catching up but couldn't....then I braked and slowed down, and a few seconds later, he zoomed by going over 100 and kept going as if he had won...what's wrong with these fools these days?

Ha, yeah I still get a good chuckle in when I think about it. Kid shoulda minded his own damn business, now he gets to pay a $200 fine and go to defensive driving school.

I think this will solve your problem

dalparadise · 09-12-2009, 01:37 PM

Ha! They do it to me in a Miata! I just laugh, cuz I know I can't win a street race -- not that I'd get into one anyway. Let's put more than ZERO curves in the track, though, and I will rip the silly fucktards.

Tinted windows helps in ignoring the freaks.

someone needs to make a license plate saying "I Don't Street Race"
It would be badass rocking them on any performance car.

chris410 · 09-12-2009, 06:26 PM

I just ignore or wave them on... Racing on the street is pointless and not worth the risks involved. Usually a thumbs up ends the ordeal in a friendly manner.

I just swerve at them wildly while doing the "tongue between fingers" gesture.

Kidding, kidding
