so as im coming home from hockey last night...yeah...another hockey story. maybe its all the testoserone floating around. well, a guy i coach with has a 03 RSX, non-type S, 5 speed. he has spent the last year and a half or so talking trash on my car..going on and on about my "ricer", because i have a system and neon and exhaust.

i left the rink before everyone else, and as im going along the highway, i see very bright lights getting close, very fast. fearing it was the fuzz, and we were in a construction zone, and i had been speeding, i pulled over. as the car pulled along side me, i sawthat it was an RSX, which slowly went past me, and began to speed up. i followed him, speeding up to around 65, in 4th gear. (top in the auto stick). then he began to slow...more and more..i shifted into third...then he dropped to around 40, and slammed the brakes on, and i shifted into 2nd, putting my car at higher rpm, and in the middle of my powerband, then he hammered it. the fact that i was slowing as to not run into him, i fell back a bit as he jumped on it, but i caught him quickly,. and again he slowed, so i did the same, and again he jumped on it. this time i was in the other lane, and i pulled along side him, turning my neons on as i past, in third gear at this point and i saw him downshift but i still started to walk on him. i walked until i got to around 120, which is my arbitrary "Get off it" speed, especially in a dormant construction zone. evidently he hadnt had enough, and came charging back up, only to have me pull away...again. i then exited, and he went straight, but not before id had thrown the 4 ways on..he wants rice, its rice he shall get...haha

i made my merry way to my exit, and as i got off, i headed home. there arent alot of cars ou that late in my area (around 12.15am) on the weeknight, but as i approached the area i turn onto the backroads, i wasnt paying attention, and i was in the wrong lane. i saw a car coming up on my right, but i figured, il just hole shot him, and ill make my turn. well, the car that pulled up was a bright yellow (yuck) S2000. top down, his right hand on his cell phone, his left hand on the steering wheel. he enver even looked over...and i didnt rev on him or anything...i really just wanted to get over...honest. the light turned green, and i glanced over as i launched, and my tires spun...he looked over, and just let go of his phone to shift and when i went to 2nd, he passed me, Vtec screaming away. he slowed a bunch, and downshifted, i guess waiting for me to flyby..i slowed, gave a "thanks for beating my ***" toot-oot of the horn...and went home. he beeped back, which im always glad to hear.

i dont know how you other street racers feel, but i always enjoy the race alot more when the other guy beeps back. in the last few weeks, while coming home very late at night, ive gotten to chasing someone through the backroads at very high speed. he has a greenish, older accord, not riced, but loud...from what i can see, he has no exhaust at all. i cant see a midpipe or anything. i usually have to brake hard to keep form running over him, and ive considered passing him a few times, but it all seems very good natured..he always beeps and waves when he turns away from my route home. its always dark outside, but i think its a 2 door, and it may be lowered. or the suspensions is broken like the exhaust...

 

Its always more fun when the poeple you're racing around with aren't ********.

 

When i was downtown today some turd in a Taurus Wagon tried to take me. This wasn't really a race persay, it was more like I didn't want to be cut off by some douche bag in a station wagon that was going to drive like a turd. It was a 4 lane road with 2 going each direction, well the right lane ended and you have to turn right just past the light we were sitting at. So I was in the left lane and he was in the right, I could just tell sitting there that he was going to try and cut in front of me. Well light goes green, he chirps his tires, LAF. I take off just a shade after he does so and I catch up, we're going 20mph, we are dead even. I let off the gas to stay even so he can't get over. I'm still in first gear, right in the neon's wheelhouse, I look over at him real quick, and then I stomped it and took off. I moved on him like he was parked on the side of road. Like i said, it wasn't really a race, but more the fact I hate being cut off by some douche bag that most likely will either not go the speed limit or turn less than a half mile up the road.

 

I've been in that scenario, except the *** clown was in a Blazer and as we came to where the two lanes go different directions he gooses it, no signal mind you, and simply comes over and cuts in front of me to the point where I had to hit my brakes to keep from him hitting the nose of my R/T and if that weren't enough I had someone in the car with me. Now if I had had a cell phone at that time I would have simply called the law and followed him, but since I didn't have one and I was extremely hot after that I decided to get him back the same way. As soon as the on coming traffic had an opening I went for the pass and this ***** naturally gunned it again. As I had a car headed straight for me, I made sure I would barely clear his nose and then came back into our lane. I would have passed him quicker, but since I was focused on what was ahead in the on coming lane I had hit my rev limiter which slowed me down.[:@] If it weren't for *** clowns like him there would be no such thing as road rage.[:@]

 

Agreed. That and if people noticed the line of cars on their *** when they're driving too slow on the highway.

 

Yes, that too.[:@]

 

They gotta do something about all the OLD drivers out there. A 90 year old just doesn't have the reflexes to be a safe driver anymore....[:@]

 

Usually if it's some knucklehead in moms car I let him go. If it's someone with a truck that's had work done to it I'll run to the next light and win or lose give a toot of the horn. I normally don't run cars, body weight ratio to HP doesn't work with a full size truck, HOWEVER if thier being an assh*le cutting me off, well "truck bigger than car" and I'll put a scare into them.

 

Yes they do Jim. Some of them are just flat out the most dangerous drivers on the road. I don't know how some of them get insured.

 

Honking at them or flashing your lights doesn't work because they're half deaf and blind. Ever notice that they NEVER turn their heads to look anywhere except straight ahead.....because they can't!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!! God forbid I pull one over to cite for something, everybody starts giving ME a hard time for picking on the little old lady (or man).......[:@][:@]
