Lool! I forgot about the little kids. I had one jumping up and down pointing at my car a few weeks back. Feels good man.

I rev to redline at every light, pop it in 5th gear and dump the clutch.

Best compliment I've ever received was when I used to mentor in Big Brothers, Big Sisters and my Little Brother said when he gets older he wanted a car exactly like mine.

I wonder if that's how athletes feel when kids tell them they're their idol.

Civics and integras usually don't bother me. It's the 350s, Gs, Genesis, and SRTs that will always try to race me at every stoplight. I just look at them and laugh.

There's already a thread for everything. That's it. Close the board.

I like to race humans on bicycles. As opposed to chimpanzees.

5 instances. One buddy in a mid 90's CRx. Believe it or not he held on pretty well. One guy in a lifted 3500 with a TON of engine mods. Had me going into a curve, then as a went by him in said curve l decided to back off as l saw his ego putting his beautiful truck up on the 2 outside wheels. He almost lost it. Brand new Si, smoked him. Gti 1.8T. He murked me. GT convertible.....dead even.
The kid in me came out as those were the only encounters l've had in 18 months of ownership.

None of thi is bragging. Just answering the question.

If you want to get known in the streets for being fast take it to the track. Eventually your rep will get out there and you will become known in the streets.

I got this co worker who swears his Chrysler 300 is fast and is all about street racing. One thing he doesn't realize is, in the street you have to be careful you don't crash your car or hurt someone. On the track, you ain't shit, no one holds back, people invest time learning the racing line, less on how to make HP and you can drive much faster than you think you can on the streets.

What my co worker doesn't realize is that there is more to racing that just racing in the street for ***** points. I told him if you want to test your skills go to the track and get whooped on by a low powered car then tell me how fast you are.

I met another crazy this weekend. If you remembered I posted that I had someone in shitty Hyundai "smoked" my car.

Well last weekend I was driving and changing lane to my left like normal people (was going to make left turn soon) and this stupid woman in Toyota Yaris suddenly overtook me literally just a few metres from the left turn and then she started driving at normal speed again after the left turn. Just FYI I didn't do reckless lane switch.

I thought okay, mental woman, just leave it. I was then driving on a different lane and my lane was faster than hers and she must have seen me passing her and she actually sped up and took me over again before driving like normal again in front of me. I thought WTF is wrong with her.

Then the third time I passed her from the lane next to her but I had to merge to her lane (in a normal way) and I knew she was gonna flip and I could see her from my rear view mirror approaching fast from behind and this time she tried to overtake me from the wrong side of the lane in a dangerous way (there was car in front of her lane which was also in front of me). I knew instantly what she was about to do. She was gonna force her way in to my lane in that tight gap and make me do a defensive brake. But I thought fuck that shit.


So when her car was next to mine, I punched it and equalled my speed to hers so that she couldn't do jack and after that I kept my speed and slalomed through the traffic. I could see it from rear view mirror that she was trying to give chase but cmon man it's a fuckin Yaris.
So obviously she couldn't catch me and I disappeared into different way.

I can tell she must be pissed royally that she couldn't keep up. I know I shouldn't have sped up but I was in a bit of bad mood too. No glory in owning an obviously underpowered Yaris but the point is there are all sort of crazy people out there regardless of how shit the cars they drive.
