Double check to make sure you still have your manhood card. Don't forget to read the rules on the back of the card for how you must treat other people at all times or else you will seem less manly.

Rule #1: If someone does something unmanly, let them know.
Rule #2: Those of the unmanly kind need to be insulted
Rule #3: Always justify your manhood by belittling others and their interests
Rule #4: You must always be a shitty part of the car community
Rule #5: If someone is happy about something not manly enough, let them know it's not manly
...
Rule #99: Be a toolbag if someone is doing something you don't care for
Rule #100: Don't worry about rules 6-98, just be an asshole for stupid reasons, then justify your attitude by saying shit like go join a book club or make a library thread



Old people, when will they learn.

What about the women that race or are on this forum

What card should they use

The reason I ask is my Mrs would probably have more traffic light runs than me, either in her Mitsubishi or my Holden

Meh

Lets race

Me, I didn't street race my NA 86 because it was slow, and even big sedans would have seen me off at the lights, and when boosted, a VAG GTI w/DSG is way quicker with only a tune.

But, it seems all the twins with loud exhausts and fart tunes want to run my old 4 door sedan.

And as I'm a old hoon who loves the loud pedal, I put them in their place.

Am I silly for taking the bait, nah, I love a good traffic light shuffle when it is safe to do so.

Do I care about what self righteous do gooders who claim they do no wrong say, not on your life, they are just whining Karens.

If you want to run it, then run it, if you don't, then STFU and, as someone else has stated, start a thread about your library adventures or the salad you had for lunch.
Lots of forums (not sure about this one) have rules against posting about actually doing illegal things (besides modding) with their cars because they afraid someone is going to sue them somehow for it. I think that's a huge stretch since lawyers only work for money and forums usually don't even make enough money to pay for their own hosting or even rely solely on donations to avoid being cluttered with ads. None-the-less you can talk about being on your high-horse and never taking the temption to smoke some fool all day long.. This is kind of a joke thread though as someone mentioned but I do throw in a story of some spirited driving once in awhile though just to shake it up.

I also believe that a large portion of owners of this car are not very good drivers and are the same people who mod poorly with "fart tunes". The same thing can be said about the drivers of the opposing vehicles of course. I don't street race, but personally, I have never had a problem being quicker than most sporty sedans on the street when I desire. That's not saying anything of course. Some people only know how to mash the pedal... I've watched videos of twins getting smoked by sedans and I have also seen videos of N/A twins on par with cars like the STI or an R/T Challenger. All of it is meaningless of course, and certainly the twins are no speed demons, as is commonly known. But a good driver gives the car much better rep than the average fart can 86 you see racing on the street.

It's relative though.. I don't expect to beat even a Mustang GT in a drag race. Throw in a few turns though and I can make anyone sweat unless they are driving some supercar.

From my experience driving in the mountains on the weekends, in a good twisty road there is not many cars that my frs cannot keep up with. Some cars I have had trouble with are modified Miatas, the new civic typeR and other modified FRS/BRZ with a good driver.

I don't race ppl in a straight line or at the lights. But since getting my exhaust installed last year it's been attracting a lot of V6 accords and challenger/chargers revving their engines at me at the light or coming up really close behind me then swerving around at high speeds on the freeway

On my grocery run yesterday evening; a young kid in a Chevy Aveo pulled out from behind me, passed then cut in front of me jerking the steering wheel like it owed him money. Then immediately signaled to turn right and pretty much went as slow as humanly possible around the corner.

I hate people cut in front and immediately make a turn, with but he went out of his way to pass me from behind.

I have shit like this happen all the time. They will be booking it down normal pedestrian roads and not letting me pass them. But once we turn onto the back road or highway, they go anywhere from 5-20 under with the acceleration of a feather foot.

Lately I can't get home on the highway without someone trying to race me. I go fast but I change lanes smoothly and always indicate. Of course some guy in an Si gets triggered and starts keeping up. That triggers someone else to join in, and last time it was a 1998 Corolla, which passed me doing at least 160, with the Si following it immediately, cutting across multiple lanes while doing so. I slow down and make sure I don't make it look like I'm engaging them on any level, it's just annoying cause I'm trying to get home quickly and I can't without rousing some smoothbrain. It's like they're cats unable to ignore a moth flying around

Yeah just km/h, which is 60 over the limit. For reference, 50 over is impound/stunt driving charge territory
