There is a time and place for speeding, showing off and being a dink.

On the highway in the snow and with slick roads isn't one of those places.

Giving me the "thumbs down" as you pass me isn't as cool as you would like to think.

I thought taking the wing off of my STi would cut back on the ****** baggery.

Anyone else ever have the issue of people (kids) trying to egg them on in such poor conditions?

Annnnd vent. =D

 
I've had all sorts of morons try and race me on the turnpike.

One time it was some 2fast2furious POS when I had my family in the car and a bunch of crap in the trunk. The NA cars aren't drag cars and when you weigh them down even more they're slugs.

Another was some tard in a neon when I was coming home from school. I put my cruise on ~70 and just sit there till I get home, and these idiots would line up next to me, floor it, wait till my cruise control caught up, floor it, etc.

Countless other people everywhere. I drive a ****ty NA scoob, leave me alone.

 
Never had that happen. I drive a wagon

I couldn't imagine that sort of thing happening in this weeks weather... the roads are so crappy.

 
I never had anyone try to race me when I had any of my 3 WRX wagons. I guess that's yet another advantage of owning a wagon.

I think it must be an unwritten rule that all modded Hondas have to have primer showing somewhere on the body.

This past summer I worked with a girl who had a civic. I swear that thing had about 20 paint cants worth of bondo in the quarter. It was a train wreck.

 
I don't mind a friendly "comparison of accelleration" sometimes. But in the middle of a frigging sniw storm? Grow up.

 
i get kids trying to race me all the time driving in portland most of the time they like to pull up next to me and stare at me through the window until i acknowledge them. I just ignore them most of the time because by giving in a racing them I am just perpetuating the problem.

That or people like to fly up behind me and try to get me to go faster, then they die out in the corners because (a) they can't drive and brake at the wrong time and or too hard or (

their bondo wagon can't corner worth a crap.

I like to have my fun but I do it when it is safe and there is no risk of hurting myself or someone else

 
I have an issue with Hick Trucks trying to egg me on. I come up behind them and pass them because they are too slow, then they catch up about 5 mins later and try to pass, if its ****ty out or I am tired then I let them. If they are being real asshats, they when they try to pass I step on it and blow through a corner or 2, just enough so I can't see thier headlights anymore. They ussually stop trying after they almost lose it on the first corner.

 
commuting down rt 1 saco back in the day though all those lights i had people pull up and want to drag all the time. so i'd rev the engine like i was gonna go for it... light turns green... take off like normal and watch them go flying by all by themselves. then watch them pulled over 2 miles down the road.

heh suckers.

 
on my way over to school tonight there was a young kid in a ford contour across the intersection with a fart can you could shot a basketball from, reving the crap out of the thing then dumps the clutch and nearly ran into me because he could not control the car once the wheels started spinning and he looked at me like I was at fault.......

it can even happen to wagons. I never get bothered, I am one saved by the other end of retard, called "stereotype" of slow.

Believe it or not, I did have a long ride from portland to bangor exits with a jetta and ricer exhaust smashing my face...this was in the late 90s, around 2000.

I had an original 87 subaru wagon (not my current one) bone stock, carbed, really snappy twacking loud. and it still had the very strange pulsating supercharger. anyway, the car got so hot the speedo stopped working. what I did not know is , the old subes worm wheel at the same rpm towards 90mph...no indication, unless you have bad tires losing thier ratings. I was clipping along, assumed mid 70s mph, and at the time I was too old for stupid games even back then, I simply stayed at my speed, this jetta was so loud my eyes twitched after I passed it casually, he stomped on it to get by, I didn't care.. I just kept going...I had 110 miles to cover. Long story short, little ricer boy in his little racer jetta blew a headgasket in front of me, it spewed all over my car...he took the next exit..and I just kept on going. A simple lesson.

funny enough. I have not seen a ricer'd jetta since. Like clockwork, these cars...10 years later, I am still in an orignal 87 sube. it's kinda funny.

Let the short timers play. There is a much bigger race on.
