I got Pwned!

So there I was...sitting at a red light on my way to work, when all of the sudden the light turns green, and as I start to go, a black 350Z flies by my on the right side with some guy with his tongue hanging out. At the next light (1/4 mile or so away, so it was very necessary to drive that fast) he's bouncing up and down in his car making all those "I kicked your ***" gestures, so I was forced to laugh at him. Appearantly I was involved in a street race where the Z was allowed a rolling start, but not me. Congratulations, you beat a non moving car.

Posting something about a street race you were in? You live dangerously don't you?

Isn't it fun when mommy and daddy buy you a sports car you can show off in. I think the Z owners are insecure because RX-8's are better, so they feel the need to show off their straight line acceleration

So true..and sad..lol. My 8 is mostly a weekend car (I have a work-provided vehicle) and it never fails - at least once per day we have a "ricer fly by." We even had one pull into the parking lot after us. The two guys were asking all kinds of questions and then mentioned an "unauthorized event" late that evening that I needed to come to so they could see what the 8 could do. I started to tell them I wasn't interested when my wife chimed in - "No thank you; we much prefer the twisties over the straight out speed - this car handles so much better than most we have gone against." That shut them up.

After they left, I looked at her. "Twisties? What WE have gone against?" "I didn't know that you and I ever went on the twisties against someone?!?"

She said she wanted to have some fun with the ricers too.

"Ricers?" "You said Ricers?"

"Who are you and what did you do with my wife?"

She just smiled.

Damn I love her.

I had a similar incident with a middle aged guy in a Grand Prix GTP this morning... first the 'fly-by', then 2 jack rabbit starts in a row at stop lights. I expect that from ricers, but not Mr middle-aged-rental-fleet-car-owner... I just kept shaking my head at the tool.

There are three Evos that park next to one another in the apartment parking lot next to our condo. My wife and I pass them in the lot when we're out to walk the dog. I have never pointed those cars out to my wife. One morning my wife says, "look at how riced out those things are". Neither one of us are kids.

We all feel your pain, brother. The 8 community is saddened by the victory by the illustrious 350Z. Ha ha.

I bet if we looked under the 350Z street race forum ... the title would read "One MaDD kiLL on da RX8, yo"

Probably would. I'm not bothered by it or anything, just thought it was funny and wanted to share. Because stupid people are funny.

I told my gf I was in a race on my way to work and she was like WHAT, then I said, "well, he was racing" and she laughed

stupid people are funny.

We're also out of the "kid" category - I'm 46, she is 37.

I think I'll wait until it happens again before I ask here where that all came from. All this means now is that we have to learn even more about make-up, shoes, and soap operas.

The price we pay.
