Anti-Street Racing License Plate Frames

Seriously. Tired of all these kids on campus thinking they're the **** in their Grand Ams trying to race me.

I want a plate frame that tells them I'm not even half interested in "beating" them. Bumper stickers are cool, if they're not over-the-top and gets in the way of the car's good looks.

Any ideas where I can get one?

Just give them the finger. If they're on your tail, go ten under the limit.

There was a lifted truck pulling into a restaurant a few days ago while we were waiting to be seated and most of the people outside were talking (badly) about it and laughing. It made me feel like there was hope society after all.

Heres a sig i had on the tibby forum i frequent now and then,

"Having a car that only has an 'uber' 1/4 time going for it, is like have a p0rn star **** yet you've got AIDS"

Guess you could modify it to read like,

"Having a car that's only good for street racing, is like have a p0rn star **** yet you've got AIDS."

In the three years that I've owned this car, I think I've only been revved on once, by a kid in a Civic Hybrid of all things...

Anyway how about this for a bumper sticker:

"If you can read this, you're probably too smart to be a street racer."

lifted trucks are dangerous because of rocks they would kick out. And becomes wobbly at high speeds. I steer clear of them every time.
I always wanted to see how the heck a hick would climb onto one of these things.

if they pull up to me at the lights, I'll let them start to rev their engine, I'll give them a few good revs to 9,000 rpm and when the light turns green.....NOTHING.
I take off slowly and laugh my *** off at them.

Eventually they slow down and I point and laugh at them.

How 'bout this...

Here's a few suggestions: (Just my two pennies)

"Street racing is for those who are UNSURE of what their cars can do"

"Wow, sexy... that's a really big FART can you've got..."

"Which button do you push to call your parents to come pick you up?"

"Remember, Jesus loves you... everyone else thinks you're a douche."

"Your car has pretty colors and stickers..."

"Go ahead and race... I'll take your girlfriend home..."

For the lifted trucks, put a (removable) decal on the roof of the car:

"If you can read this, your truck is too high... douche"

"If you can read this, your plane is about crash..."

"Yeah, but you must miss drive-thru..."

I had a G35 coupe try to race me once.... saw him coming from behind on a road and flew past me. I kept driving normally but saw his back end coming loose (on very very very slight curves... I dont know how he did it unless it was on purpose). Caught up to him at a red light and he revved. So I revved to 9k a couple of times and turned right (was dropping a friend off at his apartment and didnt actually wanna mess with the dude). So I was a little bit down the road when I realize the douche in the G had turned from the left lane to follow me. I kept on my regular drive and turned (left, through a break in the median) into the apartments where my friend lives and the G does a U-turn around the median... must have put too much power into it and slid his rear into the curb... think it was mostly rim but was probably enough for him to learn his lesson.

I admit I'll do short highway pulls or something if it's empty and I'm in the mood, but I never mess with idiots like the guy in the G... I know highway pulls can also be risky, but when you have some idiot trying to race like that, then it can get out of hand much easier...

Those two will make MORE people mess with you. They're competitive. The ricers will be like, "WTF my car ain't no waste of gas. I'll show this foo JDM powah!"

My rear frame says...



ls1tech has a cafepress account so they can sell all sorts of merchandise. Maybe if you guys suggest enough products, rx8club can start one and everyone can buy lots of cool rx8 stuff.

I like Aeterna's first one, "Street racing is for those who are UNSURE of what their cars can do." Though, it may have the "competitive idiot effect," like Slayer mentioned and make them want to race you more.

I can guarantee anything that says "don't do this" will have the opposite effect, and you'll get more attention than you ever had.
