such is the life in austin.

don't get a lot of dumb cali kids with ricecars.

for the most part I see way more people in lambos, gt-rs,and ferraris doing stupid things over in my area

Just had a winner today. I was on the I-35 service road and a Corvette ZR1 was revving at me from the fast lane on the highway.... The fuck? Ya, I'm going to race a 100k corvette on the service road....

After I work doubles, the traffic is unbeatable, but then I get the occasional riced out Civic or Camaro trying to race me and I always refused. The other night some guy in a s14 240 was reving his engine next to me at a stop light. I just ignored him.

Some scion or another tried to get me to play late last summer early fall. It was lowered, aftermarket wheels, sounded turbo'd. I ignored him and took my turn. This was coming up to a big busy intersection. My pregnant wife was in the car, we were on our way home from grocery shopping. I'm a boring driver to be stuck behind, not gonna risk angering/endangering the wife or damaging my food.

Pulling up to the red light some bro and his gf in a used cls with paper plates was looking over. Light turns green and we accelerate normally. The girl kept lookin over, so i knew they wanted to race... Revved it just for shits and giggles and yup, they took off
I let them go and just laughed cause it was so predictable

As I'm about ready to accelerate for another round, I notice that the stang was two lanes to my left. We slowed down a bit to wait for traffic to clear and all of a sudden an RSX gets behind my tail. At that point on it was pretty intense. I hit about 115 with this guy and at times the mustang wasn't even in sight but he kept re-appearing as we slowed down. Eventually they both exited and I was relieved I did not get pulled over!! I'm not one to race, but that was pretty much my first ever "race" experience and it was nice to cross that off the bucket list lol.

Introduction to this section... NO STREET RACING and NO TROLLING!

It's right there in the sticky, dude.

Was taking a back road home last night and a riced out Prelude with the ever-so-tacky eBay LED strips in front was hanging around my blindspot. As our lanes were coming to a merge, he made a point to rev the shit out of his little Vtec yo to get in front of me and then blasted through the curvy section ahead, twice as fast as I would ever consider safe (I take that road all the time, so I know). I caught the smell of his brakes/tires lingering at every corner... so pointless

Yea, I think if this car looked a little more like the original corolla it wouldn't be getting all these douches trying to race you. I guess when people see a sports car they automatically assume they must race them. I saw a red Camry behind me the other day going about 60 on a 40, as soon as the idiot got close he tried to pass me on the left, but what the mother fucker didn't realize were the construction barriers ahead so he tried swerving to the right thinking he can dodge it and boom. He/she then Stayed behind me in shame with their bumper dangling and scraping all over the place. It was funny

I also had a guy in a supercharged mustang pull up next to me and started revving his engine with one hand on the steering wheel looking at me like your typical douche while I was with my sis. I just turned to the side and gave him the finger and he stopped, knobbed his head in an ok motion and then put his head down in shame.. I sometimes believe that ricers like this have nothing else worthy in life other than their cars. I don't need a car to keep my testosterone in check..

Ok...I guess it's my turn! Last Friday on my way to work, I encountered heavy Valentine's day traffic. As I maneuvered around the "Sunday drivers" I noticed a vehicle moving well beyond the posted 45mph speed limit. 5mph over is the max I'm willing to drive...in town. With traffic being as congested as it was, I asked myself "where is this a-hole going?"

He was closing on me from the right lane at what seemed to be 60mph WHAT!! Super Fool pulls up next to me, sees I'm not a kid and then almost slams into a train of cars stopped at a red light! All while driving some Chrysler sedan pos...Impressive!

[Shagaliscious]

I had some Hyundai Elantra GT blow me off the line the other night...lol. I could tell he was cool by the way he was driving in his car, leaning on his side window. I thought "damn, better not mess with this kid, he's a badass".

One thing I kinda don't like about the aggressive styling of the FR-S.

It promises a lot from it's looks. Miata for instance is much more humble looking ... I could be wrong, but I don't suspect they get as many jackasses trying to race them.
