scarred shitless

damn yesterday on the way to my girls house i was racing a new maxima when we were about 90mph when all of a sudden i saw this car that had stalled in the third lane i barely missed hitting him i swear if i didn't have a good suspension and tires i would have definetly crashed because i ended up swerving across two lanes but luckidly i never lost control but i've decided i'm going to take it slow from now, that near miss really scared the crap out of me.

damn thats nuts im glad u made it out of that ok i understand that feeling but we both know when the next guy runs his mouth off at you at a light u are gonna get in his ass as soon as that light hits green. we just gotta be careful out there it happens to the best of us, then we get right back on that horse and ride some more. im sure i speak for everyone in here when i say im glad that story didnt have a bad ending.

Wise choice man, Try and leave your speed Demon on the strip. I know its easier said than done but more times you go speed racer on the road more likely you are to regret it but you will get alot more competition on the track anyway.

I'm glad you were scared shitless, street racing is stupid. :screwy:

Yeah, thanks for calling everyone stupid. :disappoin

Buy a car that you can actually street race in and then we'll see what you say.:nono: If you've never done it, and can't that's one thing. If you've never done it and CAN, then you're either the world's biggest wuss, or the world's biggest flake.

C'mon 88... you've NEVER raced anyone on a street? Not even to get ahead of them and they didn't want to let you pass them? :screwy: I could believe that if you were like 16 or something. BUT, if you've been driving for ANY length of time I don't believe you. Unless you live in LA or NYC or some crazy traffic place that you can't race in anyway.

LOL oh man, who says you cant race in nyc?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

the cops that have pulled you over many of times 97.....

Hunts Point in NYC is one of the biggest drag racing spots of anywhere in the country.

I'm a Philly boy, burbs really... Closer to Newark, Delaware.

I've been to NYC 2x. You'd have to pay me to come back. You people should have roll cages on the OUTSIDE of your cars, and 5" of foan on the roof (interior), you people are damn rough on cars... Better yet you should just use one of those bumper cars and drop a 350 in it.

You've got great food & entretainment up there, but your traffic is beyond night-marish.

But who do you think you're kidding... Philly's got better cheese-steaks.

IF Hunts Point is anything like the NYC I saw, your longest drag race is about 5 feet.

a) Ive never been pulled over outside of NJ, dickus

b) Earl where in NYC are you? yes a lot of it sucks but not all

The big, crowded, trashy part. Near the really good Itialin restaurants with all the pigeons.

(Joking: Near the "Blue Man Group" theater, where ever in the hell that is.)

You can't really Judge a city like NYC based solely on 2 visits and your talking about Manhattan which is just one Borough out of five, but Manhattan is one of the most exciting places anywhere if you ask me. There is always some place to go and something to do.

Don't get me wrong... I liked it, but I'm a small city boy, a little too much togetherness up there. Nice to visit, but uh... 5 gazillion people try to drive the same strech of road at the same time! Had a lot of fun, but WAY too crowded for me. If I'm gonna race someone I want 2-3 miles and little traffic to do it. (Beat them soundly, with no room for excuses).

Let me know where's a less crowded spot and I'll consider going back. But had one hell of a fun couple of nights up there.

i got hit in the ass by a corvette going 60+ i was going 55 on the 4 lane and this vette was racing a honda (dont know why) the vette went to pass me and instead he clipped the ass end of my car and put me into a concrete barrier destroying my 95 trans am. i was very lucky i wasnt killed, there wasnt a place on that car that wasnt bent and twisted. it blew the ttops out and the windows.

Like I said, 2-3 miles of decent road, no traffic. I'm guessing that doesn't happen where you guys are.

Sucks about your accident though. I'm hoping the bastard was arrested, etc? That's just plain ass dumb to race IN TRAFFIC. Realized that when I had a kid. Course... I was more of an off-roader before those days.

he was arrested he wasnt soposed to be in the car drivig it, stole it from his parents, it got me 75 grand
out of court

Where you abnged up real bad, or did you get to play with that $.

broke ankle and messed up left knee, couldnt drive a stick for a while afterwards. i was cut up a little from the glass. the only thing i have spent from the money was the engine and tranny swap in my camaro rs. but i really have had to hold myself back from buying the 2005 c6 vette. i want to wait a while so the prices will drop some

Noice. New car? Can't think of any that I like that I can afford. If I could, and didn't have to take kids everywhere, I'd be seriously looking at that too.

Good luck.

ive been on the prowl for a car like in your sig.

I'm glad you were scared shitless, street racing is stupid. :screwy:

i was on the highway and don't be hating on my maro, it's not my fault you own a piece of crap honda

Sorry but like has been said, racing with ANY traffic is dumb...I have done it in the past but i havnt done it recently. There used to be a HUGE racing scene in my hometown (outside of city limits and LATE at night). The cops started cracking down and peoples cars are getting impounded and they are being taken to jail...Now it's just too risky. I can see racing on the street (where no traffic and like has also been said, 2-3 miles of open road with good visibility), if there wasn't a track anywhere near the area. If there is a track near by, take it there.

I'm glad you didn't wreck your car or someone elses...

Come on people. Lets not take what he said out of context. I think we could try to get along a little better than this. after all I would like a little more respect than that if I posted in a Honda forum.

You're right, I expected more maturity from the chevy board but I guess that is asking too much of anyone these days, even the 30+ year olds. The cool thing is I don't mind when people bash me because most of the time they just make themselves look like the idiots. Offending me is impossible! So don't sweat it.

Yea, I tried :evillol:

someone gotta say it.. "cant we all just get along?"

*in reponse to my own question.. NO.. NO WE CANT...

I can offend anyone.

If someone comes in here all "you street racing guys are stupid, and us FartoX guys are intelligent, excellent drivers who would never stoop to levels of pure testosterone, how do you expect anyone to want to be nice. Hey 88, drink wine instead of beer? OR maybe Shirley Temples? (Maybe you're too young to know what those are? ) :lol:

Formula, you're like the niceness mod around here? :nono: jkg

Tacoma, you mean my car? Took me 8 years to find it.

Oh Mr Kaotic Ser,

Alls I'ms wantin is fer somone t'be ma frend. I'ms tryin really hardlike t' gitalong

Geno,
I hope you don't offend me as badly as Cuda's mutant bouncy girl/guy/thing.

Maybe if you didn't take what I say out of context because of your own personal bias then maybe you wouldn't get so butthurt over my comments. Just relax guys, I come in peace.

edit: Your comment was funny, it made my sig :bigthumb:

You know 88, you're alright... but...

"BUTTHURT" what's that all about? Is some kind of import slang? God only knows what you impressionable young men of the asian persuasion have done to come up with a word like "butthurt" :lol2:

is that anything like being constipated?

wow i can feel the love in this room. anyway
1- new york is known for its street racing, i heard its really good.
2- i wouldnt do it because not only is it crowded but being from philly i know people in the city cant drive 4 shit and they will pull in front of u.
3- we do have better cheesesteaks in philly
4-having nothing to do with numbers 1-3 but i do remember that accedident tacomaman had that was back before i was a member and i use to read the posts i remember thinking thats why some people dont need to street race its always the guy who has nothing to do with it that almost gets killed.
and im not gonna import bash but on a real note i would expect a civic driver to make a comment like that about street raceing because lets be honest u need a race car to do that anything else is just some dude trying to keep up

oh yeah and i do know how to spell accident i just lost control of my fingers while typing

Not to try and get myself shunned or anything but 88rex has posted in thread recently that his car isn't as fast as his cousins Z28. So he never claimed to be a street racer and I think we should let this die now. Cause I think we have all seen the 20 something pages of bashing and then locked threads and he isn't saying anything negative about anyone's car that I have seen. Lets just live and let live and if you don't like what someone has to say and think its bashing. PM a mod and they will take care of it.

I MAY BE WRONG... but I thought his post said his CRX was only 1 second slower than his cousin's Z and he was stompin around about what a huge lump he had in his shorts. Wait... wasn't that the question he posted about the camaro with like three working cylinders? Maybe he needs to get that lump checked...

This is all in good spirits F. I intend (unlike Geno) to offend no-one, and if I have I apologize. But some of the heaping piles of BS in here.... I can't look the other way sometimes.

Its all good. I just think its kinda one sided if we all jump on the lets get the Honda guy band wagon and trust me. Read some of the threads from the past I was the first one to jump on the import guys coming in here bashing but I honestly don't see any of his posts as bashing.

Watch it Geno, (secretely wants to marry Geno)

*watches*
















I don't see anything...

>_> Geno... omfg.. *bow*

earl'sfat.. i think you're pickin on the wrong guy when you make comments like that to me..

i was just trying to keep the peace in here. It really seems pointless to agrue about such stupid things.. who cares if he drives a civic.. who cares if you drive a 2nd gen.. who cares if i drive a v6.. honestly.. dont forget what brought us all here in the first place.

haha ^ v6 driver.... :) just kidding bro

lol non-first gen owners!

Sorry the above post was mine...GF was logged in.

William

OK this is a first, me defending an impot/honda/civic guy... WHOA. haha but ya gotta be fair. He said that the camaro was slower in autocross (auto x) which is a lot to do with handling. said hes slower in the 1/4 but thats not what he set his car up for,so doesnt really care. Hes pretty level headed for the most part, I've noticed.

I think I've been a little mis-understood.

Not slamming you Kaotik, not with my hillbilly blood line (some of them actually talk that way)... just screwing around.

Not slamming 88 either, but uh... I can't help poking a little fun at things that warrant it. No-one here, I hope I'm right on this, thinks racing in rush hour type traffic is a good / safe move, and when someone jumps into a thread and point blank call everyone stupid if they do something he doesn't agree with is kinda asking for a response in kind. He may have looked at them, but he should have READ the posts first.

Like I said, I intend to offend (piss off) no one. And if I have I apologize.

I guess we Philly people are a little more thick-skinned than every one else, that's normal banter around here. Christ, come here once or twice or better yet live here for a while, and you can't help being ignorant at least once in a while.

--------

Geno, You make all that homo milk yourself? Can you walk yet?

misunderstandings happen.. its just hard sometimes to understand the way things are said.. a lot of the time we cant tell online if someone's joking or being serious unless they say or point out otherwise. i know you arent meaning to offend anyone, but everyone has their own opinions.. thats why we have these little disagreements. not to mention egos are a huge thing in the automotive world.. lol

No-one here, I hope I'm right on this, thinks racing in rush hour type traffic is a good / safe move, and when someone jumps into a thread and point blank call everyone stupid

Did I say that?

I'm glad you were scared shitless, street racing is stupid. :screwy:

Nope looks like I just called street racing stupid which you happen to agree with so I don't see any reason for your attack. Maybe you can fill us in on why you feel the need to twist my words around to make me look like a little lord fuck pants. Do you have something to tell us? :greddy2: :lol2:

Correction --- I SAID: Street Racing in traffic is stupid. (Some of us are not as lucky to live next door to a track.) I have no problem if you've space and no traffic (meaning NO cars, not light traffic).

Yep 88, you guessed it.... I'm sweet on you. :naughty:

L.L.F.P.????:screwy:

Well seeing as you 2 can't even seem to let this subject just drop cause you both want to point out what a tool the other one is. This thread is done. If you feel like making more personal remarks to each other do it in PM's. I'm tired of this. Please be civil to fellow member and Smokey I am glad you learned a lesson but this thread has served it purpose and is getting locked now.
