So im getting real tired....

So im getting real tired of the local Rice burner crew around town wanting to always race me... Anybody else have this problem with honda civics that they put a muffler on it and think they are sweet?

civics of all years makes and models with a coke can at the back constantly farting
older accords with black rims and body kits that are about to blow away with the wind
350z's i see this alot idk if theyre tryin too prove sth or its coz they have issues but its annoying ... i know im slower they prolly know it too but try to race to make up for the hideous looking thing theyre driving
celicas that arent painted and have 2 ton chrome rims

preludes with HUGE spoilers

I ignore them and their ugly rice rockets. What is sad is that half of them look like they were put together with Elmer's glue and Mattel toy rejects.

I remember the days only civics and integras are riced up.

Now, I see tons of sports cars riced up.

RX-8s, 350Zs, S2000s... etc.

T'is the fad, I suppose.

happened to me yesterday on the interstate as i was rolling by some older accord with a huge can on back. one of the guys in the car did the "count-down" with his hand out the window and when he got to "go" i just stomped the brakes a bit . . . just to give them the illusion that their old accord, fully loaded with four dudes, actually had some acceleration potential. otherwise i just wave.

I ignore them, unless there's a cop, then I'll rev the engine a lot and feint a start, make them peel-out, and laugh as they get pulled over and I go on my way quietly.

Simple! Think of a tickect. Think of insurance increase. Think of your car being impounded.

Now think that the judge made you watch your car being crushed.

Street racing is stupid.

Want to have fun. Tell them to meet you at an auto cross event.

50 to 80 bucks and you will kick ****.

My old *** accord would keep up with you, but it doesn't have the original engine.

But I don't race anyone and don't have a racer mentality and I don't like street racers. Screw them.

I had a crossfire do a ricer flyby on me on the interstate. He had that engine so wound up that it sounded like there was metal on metal contact coming out of the engine bay. I just ignored him. I hope his car blew up.

Yesterday I had a stupid chick in an RSX try to race me in town with a bunch of traffic. Again, just ignored her.
Also had a cobalt SS rev at me at a stop light. I looked at him and as the light turned green, I made a left turn....lol.

I find it hilarious that my little rx8 is so intimidating to others.

Civic hatchbacks that burn so much oil that no matter what color the car is the back of it is black.

And even worse is when I had my motorcycle high school kids always seemed to need to try to race me.
