Default moment of shame

On my way into work today I arrived at a stop light following a newer Honda Accord about an 01 (stock?). The guy had been driving slow so I was gonna pass him in the right hand lane. The right lane merges in with the left in a quarte mile. Its a great place for a cheap and quick race. So I thought, "since I'm in a hurry I'll get a good jump on the Honda and get around him with no problem." Light turns green and i go. I am almost past him when he decides to match my speed. Me not wanting to get stuck behind him again, I gun it. He guns it. He passes me before I hit the brakes to dive back into the left lane. Since when did Hondas get quick. By the way I was doing 80 when he passed me! [:@] I'm hoping to see him tomorrow and regain some dignity.

The annoying thing is I eat up rice burners all the time ... now I'm no longer undefeated

Wow...if that would've been me behind the wheel adn some ******* did that to me i'd have to run him over several times. I cant stand it when someone goes slow and then speeds up when you go around them.

This one time I was racing my friend from a stop light and he has a Crown victoria with the 4.6 in it, and from dead stop I beat him, I was very surprised.

My wife drives a 98 accord and for it having almost exactly have the amount of engine the thing is suprisingly fast and nimble. Oh yeah, less than half the curb weight to boot!

i race a lot of cars. even with a screwd up gear ratio, i can surprise a lot of them

my friends integra can only beat me by about a car length...... and i can beat almost any civic in town. i think cars are the most fun because they just assume a big truck cant do anything

i tend to steer clear of other trucks for some reason. ive had bad luck/experiences vs. F-150s and teh like[:@]
