LOL!
First day I went on the highway with my Z a blacked out Neon tried to race me. He sped off and what he didn't know was that a state trooper was hiding down the highway. I'm pretty sure he was going 90+ Hope he got owned.

funny story this. I was driving down a very long parkway with a stop light at least every 1/8 mile, so naturally its notorious for street racing.. the cops know this. Its about 2am last Saturday, just dropped my girl off after a late show. I'm cruisin along, not many cars on the street, red light stops me. Out of nowhere some headlights come flying up beside me. A yellow Evo 9. Light turns green, and of course this idiot is chirping his BOV at me, accelerating, then slowing down, you know how they do. I notice this, laugh at him, then turn my stereo up to avoid hearing that annoying squeal his BOV keeps making. Were coming past a strip mall parking lot that is a notorious cop hiding spot. So I set my trap. I decellerated to 35mph, downshifted to 2nd and mashed the pedal until I made it to the speed limit of 55. This idiot keeps going, id say to at least between 90-100. 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.

And on top of that, I've noticed that almost every single car i'm driving past seems to find the accelerator as soon as they see the Z! Is this happening to anybody else?

It happens to me so much that i'm thinking about making a sign that says "You WIN!!" So glad i'm at a nice mature age where i can control the "speedracer" in me, lol.

I've gotten quite the opposite. Most of them just stare.

Hey I live out here in So Cal and trust me everyday I drive there is someone if not a few people that flies by me in their beater car. Mostly Civic, Accord, Mustang, a few Challenger and Charger, sometimes an WRX or EVO. Honestly when they fly by me, it makes me chuckle and smile at the same time because they obviously "expects" you to slam on your gas pedal and catch up and play cat and mouse with them on the street. But I usually end up meeting them at the next redlight with bunch of 16-22 year olds in the car looking out their window with a smirk on their face and out the window saying "hey pussy you wanna run?" and my answer of course to them is "nah it's good I don't jeopardize my life or others life just to prove how shitty your car is." And usually they get really pissed off and just start using the F word and the P word together trying to provoke me. But in the end we all agree that we love our Z's and obviously they're jealous and don't know anything about cars to be tracking it or become a true "enthusiasts" of motor sports. Just a bunch of street racing wannabe's in my opinion. I usually don't pay attention to any of them. And to those god damn tailgating people. Whatever, if they hit me it's their problem and of course those lovely pick-up trucks that thinks their V8 is better than our Z. Word to their mother. Don't mean to be racist but usually they're bunch of white kids and 909'ers who rides dune buggys and dirt bikes. (if this offends anyone I'm sorry, not racist or stereotypical. Purely for examples here in So Cal, or so it seems). Just keep doing what we do best and enjoying our cars for tracking, canyon driving, or just spirited street driving.

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?

Red370 · 09-12-2009, 12:57 PM

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.
