ok, i just have to share this one. Maybe what this guy claimed was true, but when I was talking to him, I had to hold back so hard from cracking up and from smacking him up for being so stupid. Here's the story.
I am at a UDF getting some 2 scoops of icecream for 99C.
This guy comes running across the street, and exlaims "who's silver car?" (i have silver 8). I let him know it's mine, and then he says to me, "wanna race for pink slips"

This is the first time in my life I have ever heard someone ask this, let alone me. I tell him no thanks, i like my car too much, and I asked him what does he drive. He told me he doesnt have a car right now, but he's getting a REALLY FAST CAR! i respond.. ok what car? he takes a moment to think, then he exclaims "A '94 CELICA!" i pause, and respond..."do you mean supra?"
He interjects "nono, its a 5 speed celica, and I bet I can race any of you and win." i ask him whether the car is modded or not. He says no. I ask again, is this car a GT or a GTS, and is it completely STOCK? I dont think he knew what I was even talking about, he said "yah yah."
At this point I think he is a complete idiot, but he continues one.
He starts saying how he has beaten Corvettes and comarros with his previous Cavelier (which he subsequently wrecked during a street race). Apparently his Cavelier was also stock, but it was a 5 SPEED! Then he points at this C5 that pulls up and states, I bet you can beat that corvette too... with any car, as long as it's a 5 speed. I tell him, you know a stock Civic, let alone cav has under 200 HP and a vette over 300.
His reply "doesnt matter. Its all about the driving. as long as I have a 5 speed. so what do you have? is it a 5 speed or a manual?"
Well I tell him It's a 6-speed manual. He stops for a moment without a word, then goes back to saying, once I get my car, I will race and beat anyone. Only thing I have gone up against and lost are Porsches and a Lamborghini."
At this point, i realize he is a complete moron, and not worth talking to, but it just erks me that he can be so stupid, so I try to reason with him to no avail. So i tell him, my cousin has a 5 speed Civic (pos) and that I can call him over now and we can race. He optomisitcally believes he can do anything with a 5 speed. My cousin's car is a POS Stock Civic, with the muffler half coming off. Anyway, you would think this guy is trying to be funny or a jerkoff, but you look at him and he is dead serious.

Anyway, I hope I never see this dumbass again, but if anyone in Columbus wants to take this guy and his upcoming STOCK '94 Celica for pink slips, i can tell you what UDF he lives in front of.

Not much point to this story, but lets just say I would never street race, esp for "pink slips" I guess it was amusing but i just can not believe there are people liek this in the world. Maybe I am dead wrong, and its ALL about the driver, and as long as it's a 5 speed manual...who knows what can be unleashed.

okie, fun fact, enjoy and good night.

Simple. Just respond with "let's take it to the mountains with any 5 speed." Of course, assuming you know how to take turns :D

reminds me of the guy my sister had a hard time evicting out of one of her rental properties for not paying his rent after telling her he lost a bet on a race and was in dire straits and couldn't pay her,ha ha, I died laughing over that one . so whats the point anyways :p

Should have said "Well a 6 speed is one faster and My amp also goes up to 11."

i had a guy pull up in a lowered eclipse and offer me a race for 500 bucks, when i told him no he looked kind of confused. then he stammers "well my car's stock and you can probably beat me" and motions like hes still trying to race me..... so he now has basically offered me 500 dollars if his car is stock, but i once again deny him. i walk away and he talks to some other guy sitting around and eventually takes off. the guy hes talking to turns out to be his nephew and he tells me the car wasnt even his, it was borrowed.

have to say thats the most annoying thing about owning this car so far.....

I probably would have handed him my ice cream, patted him on the shoulder assuringly and walked out. :D

Stupid people shouldn't breed...

man that things balls are getting aced by taht toad, i cant stop watching.....

Surely he was taking the piss out of you. He can't be that daft.

I smell something - glue perhaps? Maybe crack, but not many brain cells left in this waste of flesh & bone.

My standard answer is for them (the idiots like mentioned above) to show up at the next autocross. At that point, it can be for any amount of money (or pink slips) and he can use any car he cares to.

No one has ever taken me up on it........

I remember like 4 yrs ago we used to have races in staten island first exit going in through goethal bridge in staten island. Every saturday night i would go . its a long stretch and traffic barley goes by. About 60 to 100 cars would show up and race the quarter mile. of course it was illegal but cops would drive by and look the other way as long as it didnt get to crazy .People use to bring cars in tow trucks there man they had some fasssst cars also they would race for pink slips. I miss those days :(

That dude learned everything he knows about racing from watching "2 Fast 2 Furious". Fear him.

I lead a very sheltered life, what's a pink slip and why are they worth racing a 5SPEED for?

At work pink slips usually mean you got canned.

What color shirt was he wearing?

I'm on my way down to Ohio to run over the rat bastard now.

A pink slip is the title to your car.

And having a 5 speed anything doesnt mean anything.

he was refering to the fact that he can drive ANY 5 speed manual car faster than ANyone in ANY car except for a porsche or lamborghini. I dont know, but that little convo i had with that fool is still agitating me right now. I mean if the guy was 17 or something, it can be somewhat excusable, but he was over 20. Crap i have to go to a seminar. later.

Wish I still had Dad's old Toyota Starlet to send your way. Tiny 4-cylinder engine, but it was a 5 speed!

I had someone tell me that (while in his 99-00 neon) he would ''eat up'' my modified 02 Altima 3.5 . So I raced him and after 10 seconds of fading in my rearview mirror he turned down some street. I love street racers. It gives me job security and satisifaction that some dumbass kid just got sent to jail. Puts a smile on my face everytime. :D

:eek: :eek: Street Racing Police Officers!! :eek: :eek:

Were you undercover?!

Oh my...I got one. I had a 5 speed manual on a Chevy S10 4 cylinder pickup. Try that one on for size. He would have to make sure that the air conditioner, stereo, and daytime running lights were off to even come close to seeing your rear end 1.5 seconds after you took off. :eek:

When I was in the academy. I am innocent. I had to shut his mouth. I frown upon street racing now :D

We have one here. Well, he is not a cop, but works with the cops. Drives an orange mustang GT. Will try hard to get you to race so that he can get you clocked and arrested/ticketed before the next intersection. I laughed at him a few days ago because he sat beside me and revved the engine. I rolled down my window and proceeded to tell him that I had grown up and graduated with the daughter of the chief of police here in town (he was kinda like a second dad), so if anyone were to get the ticket for this race...it would be him. He sheepishly rolled his window up and slowly went on his way.

Hahaha, I drove my friend's S10 back in highschool. That thing accelerated so slowly that I kept thinking the clutch was slipping (it wasn't). I would love to have seen that guy try and race just about anything in an S10, because he would have had NO chance unless he was racing a semi or something.

I had a similar situation in Lake Jackson, juikster maybe you have seen this guy around?
Anyway, leaving the mall there, me and my wife head for my 8, when a black neon pulls beside me as I walk. The guy rolls his window down and asks me if I want to race. "No, Im here with my wife." I state and keep walking. He then says, "I would have won anyway, I won three races just today, the last one against the blue RX8 there." he states this proudly.
"That blue RX8 there?"
"Yes"
"Umm, I never raced you."
"THATS YOUR CAR?? OH MY GOD." He then proceeds to jump out of his car and drool on mine as my wife gets in and I start it up.
"I thought you beat one of these already?"
"I will if you race me" Again he is confident.

So I reply, "Tell you what, I'm headed back to bay city, if you care to follow me, I know some country roads."

"NOW youre talking" he then runs to his neon, pops the trunk, grabs a phillips screw driver out of the back and removes (TWO) screws holding on his 2' tall wing. YES, 2 screws, nothing more, and tosses the wing onto the backseat. I find out later that if he goes to fast, the winge flies off. HAH! He then digs through his cd case and finally retrieves a cd, pops it in his stereo, and then "BOOM BOOM, BOOOOM" followed by "Rattle Rattle, SHAKE!"

By this time I just cant contain myself, the first lyrics I hear after all the bass is "The fast and the furious homeboy...........ITS MY LIFE" (Ja Rule - Fast and Furious Soundtrack)

"Follow me" I state and drive off, headed out of town. He follows closely as I navigate the congested streets. Several minutes later, to my shagrin, he is nowhere to be seen. This guy wanted to race WOT on a deserted road, but couldnt even keep up in a 35mph city street!!

sorry for the long post, this was just hilarious to me, maybe you had to be there to know the full effect.

he sat beside me and revved the engine. .


I've been pulled over because the cop thought I was 'revving my engine' unnecessarily.

:(

What was the charge? :confused: :confused:

Seems like an unnecessay pull over to me.

I hope he didn't get a ticket for that. Could have probably been taunting. What a douche cop
