You live in a tame area for sure then. Where I live is practically the inverse, not to mention the influx of supercars here now that treat the main road by me as if a drag strip.

I kid you not, I often hear rolling races happening outside my house (think beep, beep, beep sort of stuff.. 1, 2, 3, go). It’s bad enough that I’m sour towards these people now because of how they ruin car enthusiasts reputation.

Needless to say, once warm weather hits, I get “challenged” to a race daily.

Problem is we got a lot of F1 drivers on the streets now, all they had to do was watch drive to survive and they became a master of driving, able to exceed the mechanical limits of their rusted Hyundai SUV and dominate CTRs that don’t even know the Hyundai exists.

I turned up at my local for a feed after a trackday,WRX hatch. The young bar maid asked about the car because it sounded and looks loud. I told her we race it and just got back from doing so. Her honest reply was " I`m probably a lot faster than you are" She has a older little KIA and has not had a drivers license 12 months. She really is a nice girl though.

I suppose, to be fair, I don't drive a lot of streets that are compatible with street racing. Too many Southern Sheriffs on the main roads that would be compatible. A lot of the streets also have speed cameras (which are legal here in school zones).

The area that Jordan would be driving is well know for the crowd that wants to race anything and not enough police coverage to do much about it.

so did you invite her to the next track day?

LOL No. I really like that Jolly Roger.

Quite literally anything. From rusted shitboxes to ultra money Performante’s. I count 3 of those in the area now.. not sure what’s going on, but one of them is daily driven.

Their attempts to stop them so far; a road watch sign.

The most common thing I get are old crappy Neons with pop tunes and buzzing exhaust. They usually have broken parts of cheap body kits but often are just missing major pieces. Not sure where the hell they are even still finding these things!

about the only place I get any level of "come race me bro" is in front of Z1 Motorsports on my afternoon commute. But, if I'm honest, that's just the guys there leaving work and honing around with each other. I'm just in the traffic with them....

Pretty sure that this accounts for about 95% of the "dude wanted to race me" stories on here. Many of them that is just how they drive all the time and they probably don't even notice the car they are supposedly challenging.

I get someone beside me, usually a charger,mustang, or camaro, do something totally stupid trying to prove their car is fast, about 80% of the time I drive the Lotus. I ignore tgem, then they usually take of, dangerously weaving in traffic to again show me their car is fast. It's one reason a lot of lotus owners sell their cars. You get a lot of bad attention

There is definitely a sense of "race me bro" with these cars.

If I take the wife's Impreza people are always sleeping at traffic lights, or not paying attention.

In the 86 cars are always trying to out accelerate me from a stop or they pace me and speed up when I'm cruising around.
She brought it up more recently after I told her how people do that stuff around me constantly.

Looking pretty fresh if you ask me. I didn’t think neons were even in junkyards anymore, those things are more rare than huracans near me.
