Father and Son moments...Priceless.

[CivRacer95]

I got off work at around 3-3:30ish. My dad was just leaving work at the same exact time. So I decided I would follow him home from work and maybe take a run at him on the freeway . So we pull out from the parking lot and come to State St. Behind the two of us, I notice this dark Jetta, with an unpainted body kit of course, and I see the huge wing coming out from the back. Ricer...

So the light changes green and my dad and I take off, him in his 3kGT, and me in my little Honda. We manuever around some traffic, and end up at the head of traffic. Thus once again we stop at a light turning onto the Freeway. Looks like the Jetta was trying to play keep up because he was only one car behind me.

Finally we get on the freeway, and I punch it, trying DESPERATELY to get by my old man. No Dice. He just floors it and pulls ahead easily . We take it to 85 and I follow about 3 car lengths back. About 10 mins later we are coming up to our exit, I didnt' notice at first but the Jetta was behind me. We both hop into the middle lane, and of course you guys no what's going to happen. The Jetta does his fly-by, and my dad noticed. Within 2 seconds he hopped right behind his ass, signalled, and went around to our exit. But unluckily traffic slowed him down with me following behind. The Jetta sped up, swerved around traffic ahead of us and hopped in the same exit . Oh goody, looks like he's going into town.

5 Minutes later, we come to the stop light that just enters before Springville. He turns right, along with me and my dad following. My dad is a stud, he pulls up next to him, and paces him at 30, soon enough the Jetta tries, and my dad takes off and whips by him easily, while at the same time I took off following them, and by 70 I passed the Jetta as well, who was still trying. Kinda sad. We turned off main, and headed towards our house, but oh of course, the Jetta did another fly-by before we turned.

When we arrived home, my dad and I just laughed at the dude in the Jetta. I commented on how my dad smoked him off the jump. He laughed. Father and Son moments are just so bonding. Wouldn't you agree? LOL. Late...

Sweet wish my dad liked to race

[lickem]

sorry i couldnt resist

[TreeFrog]

nice story. does your dad have a VR4?

[CassiesMan]

Nice...what year Jetta was it? And what mods do you have to your Civ? I can get away from Civics pretty easily, but the 1.8 Jettas give me a good run.

thats so cool, my dad is not into the whole racing thing anymore. He used to own a 78 white stingray Corvette. Man that thing was fast. But he sold it when my older brother turned 16. . .damn. But hes gonna be buying another car soon, i keep pointing him in the direction of all kinds of sport cars. The ones i really press for him to get are a Pontiac GTO, 2005 Mustang GT - i think he likes them alot, Grand Prix GTP, WRX STi-but he wont drive a Subaru, Volvo S60 AWD, and a few others.

My dad doesn't have a VR4, just the SL model. It's still pretty damn quick for a car of it's age. Well, it's 4 years older than my Civic. He just has a custom catback exhaust on it.

As for the Jetta, I don't know, but I figure it was a mid 90's Jetta. I never saw that back of it , well except for when I passed it after my dad did, but I didn't pay any attention, so I couldn't tell you what kind it was.

As for my Civic: I completely forgot to show you guys what kind of goodies I got in store for it. I'll have to find my Digital Cam and take pics. But for now, I'll just tell you.

Greddy/Trust axle back exhaust, Tenzo CAI, Unknown brand headers (bought them off a bud who never installed them. They were in his garage for 2 years! How bout that? So I got a good deal on the).

Just bought a Comp Cams D16 Camshaft. And I plan on buying either a AEM or Skunk2 Cam Gear, also, I'm going to buy a full cat-back exhaust. I'll take pics of the Cam Shaft and cam Gear when I receive them, same with the catback and later the engine bay when I'm done. But those are future plans that I hope to have done before the spring. I just said screw it with the B18 and decided to get the most out of my little D series before it's done. Late...

Rice....



Lol! I'm joking dude! 3kgt's are sweeeet....I envy the fact that you have a father that is into cars, and that you had so much fun smoking ricers. My family is like anti-cars, so I don't think that this will ever happen to me. Oh well. Its nice seeing Honda Civic's smokin' riced out Jettas from time to time

[i3o2Matt]

lol awesome! if my dad had a sports car...we'd prolly be doin the same thing...cuz one time he TRIED to keep me behind him in his Explorer sport...emphasis on TRIED...

[Underground_Killah]

my dad's f150's getting a new 302 in it... with the headers and dual exaust he's quoting me 425 hp... can't wait too... he said "oh i won't race it" and gave me an evil smile heh.

[clawhammer]

Wish my dad would own a car that he could race...

[street_racer_00]

Lol...my dad has a 2004 honda accord EX V-6...it's got some balls...he'll never race me, even though it would be a good race between me and him...I'm thinkin I could get my older bro to borrow his car one day and then me and him will line up.

Psssssttt you call that a father son moment!

When I was putting a holley 144 roots blower on my 302 in my 83 GT my old man was helping me. He goes to spray PB on a rusted bolt and cause he is now old and blind but won't admit it. He didn't realize the nozzle of the can was pointed at me so shoots a stream of PB clear across the engine bay into my eyes.

As the searing burning pain of PB Blaster hitting my eyes blinds me and i try to feel my way to the sink while screaming in pain. I trip on some shit on the floor and crash onto the garage floor. The whole time I can hear but not SEEE!!!!! my old man laughing hysterically at me.


Now that is a motherfucking father son moment!!!!

[youngvr4]

yeah father son moments are nice, i've had a few myself.

i'm driving my dad home in his vette and we come to a mustang gt at a light. the guy doesn't notice us on the side of him, even with his window down.
so my dad says "smash the horses" meaning rev the motor in old man term, and when i revved the motor up to its 6000 rpm mark, the guy jumped and looked at us with fear, and pulled an illegal u turn immediatly and took off.

wrather the guy took of from fear or probably just embarrasment, we laughed all the way home.

My father-son moment wasn't too long ago.

I went to my dads to have dinner and generally hang out, he opens up the garage and there sitting there is a brand new '03 Mustang GT (auto).

This is the first time in my dads life he's been able to afford a car that's fun, everything else has been transport to and from work.

So he's itchin to give me a ride in it to show me how sweet it is. It wasn't bad, nothing compared to the Z but it was fun. He's manually shifting the tranny, getting all up on the steering wheel laughing as he goes around corners. I enjoyed watching him act like I was when I was 18... and he's 39.

We get back to his place, and I tell him to hop into my Z. I'll show him my toy.

I cruise out, to the freeway where he got on it in his GT. I kick it up to 15psi and soon as I hit the onramp, a downhill ramp at that, I mash gas and row through the gears and don't let off till I'm at the top of 4th welllll past 120mph.

All I can say is, I've never seen a grown man attempt to grab onto imaginary handles to hold on in my life.

His exact words. "The sound it makes when you get on it is trippy... man... that was wild."

It was a fun night.
