This morning on my way to school, I noticed this newer model Eclipse. A girl was driving it and she was passing people up. So, I drove up to see if it was a GT. Yes, it was a GT. Anyway, we were approaching a red light, I moved over to the left lane, she was behind me, so we could line up. I want to see if she want to play. When I lined up at the red light, she didn't line up with me, just behind a little. I had the car in 2nd gear just in case if she decided to play. As the light hit green, I drove off normally, seeing if she would play. Initially, she didn't, so I thought to myself, too bad. Suddenly though, she speed up and passed me up. So, I quickly step on the gas, it wasn't going anywhere. So, I just slammed on the gas, and my CAI roared to life. I passed her up, slowed down because she was way behind me, I thought she might want to go at it again. Nope, oh well. Later on, I got a good look at the girl, kind of cute. She didn't look my way, smiled, or anything. I just want to wave to her, and say good race. Oh well, pretty cool nonetheless. It seem like an automatic though. I wonder how I would do against a 5spd. Btw, I don't think there's any mods. It did look lowered though. One more thing, as I was heading towards school, I noticed this electron blue SI, but she didn't want to play. What's up with that, two girls on the same day? Both were quite cute too and go to my school. I wonder if I see them around campus?

I test drove an Eclipse GT with 5spd. It was nice, they have good torque down low. I think it would be a good match for an auto max, but a 5sp would kill it.

man, around here girls don't ever want to race. we always pull up to some mustang or camaro and then we're like "oh man, it's a girl."(we say that only cuz they don't want to race, not because we're sexist)

I got beat by a girl once. But then again she was in a corvette. I passed her on the highway and then she comes up right next to me looks over at me and my friend, smiles and takes off.

Btw, a little info on those two girls. The girl that raced me in the Eclipse GT was a brunette white girl. She wore glasses, but still looked cute. The other girl in the Civic SI was an Asian girl; Vietnamese to be more specific. I know that because I recognized who she was. She's short and petite, average looking. I wonder what she'll say to me when she see me? hehe...

The girl in the Eclipse GT wasn't the first girl I raced. Seem weird to me when I race a girl, whether I beat her or not(yes, I admit, I lost to a girl before, she was driving a Mustang GT), she would wave to me or at least smile. However, with guys, especially if I beat them, they would just flip me off. Geez...when I lose to someone, I would drive up to them and give them a thumbs up or wave to them. Most of the time, they would wave back, smile, or give me a nod. Just this one time, this guy gave me back a thumbs down when I gave him a thumbs up. So, I returned the favor and gave him the finger.

Darn it, I really need that VB mod badly. I don't want to keep manually shifting everytime I race. I know it's definitely not good to do that too often. When I get the money, I'll give you a holla Don.
