Everybody wants to race

Every time I pull up next to someone that thinks they have a decent engine they put on their bada** face, look straight forward and rev their engine at me. Okay I don't think I understand this. Does everyone think that I'm some kind of competition? Or do they just do that to everyone they pull up next to. They speed off going 50 in a 30 and I accelerate as normal.

They don't understand that I KNOW I'm no competition and I'm runnin a 4cyl automatic with 150ish hp. How do you guys feel about all of that? What do you do if you're pretty sure there's no way you can take 'em?

I usually just turn my head and look right at them like they're stupid but they never see me because they're too busy looking "cool" to turn their head.

are you sure you are not promoting yourself for a race? J/K

Honestly anyone who comes up looking for a race isn't worth my time. I just ignore them... or sometimes I point and laugh at them... this is normally followed by an angry slur back or a shameful head drop. hahahah.

If i know i can take them, i let them off first then catch up with avengence. If i know i can't take them... well.... depends on the circumstances whether or not i bother. You'd be surprised who you can beat even with a stock 4cyl. it's all a matter of how you drive it.

Now i don't promote anyone to race on the streets... too dangerous but if it happens... you got to be aware of the area!

Re: Everybody wants to race

This is ok.

But others have started who's cars faster, or who'd win if I raced my GA against them. Thiers a place for that sort of shiet. Its called street racing.

That is a good one when they race down to the next light and then pull up next to them.
I also like to instigate them into racing, like reving it up and then just creep off as the squeal away when it turns green.
Then pulling up at the next light and laughing that they just wasted $2-3.

Cant get worked up on the streets, to many punks out there.
