So true!

I had a white Cavalier with white neon spank me once - unfortunately, I didn't even know we were racing! I had music bumpin and didn't even hear him power braking, but he leap-frogs at the light (almost ran it he was so early) and speeds off, gets up to probably 60mph in a 35mph zone, and then gives me a nod with a peace sign at the next red light, as if he spanked me and was sayin "good race." WTF?? And I know he went and told all his broke-**** J-body buddies that he whooped the mysterious HID-kitted Maxima that never wants to hang out in the PepBoys parking lot after dark.

i still think one of my favorites was a minivan that tried to race me while i was driving my moms Porche. i dont even know why they would try, i just beat them off the line hit 50 and waited till they passed me feeling special. most of the time when i see the other car trying to race i will hit the brakes to see their reaction i think its hilarious

I think my car is somewhat un-noticed by the ricers. I have no engine mods done to my car, so its not too quick, and its very quiet. But once in a while someone wants to play. I must admit though, more times than I should I give in . I have no engine mods done to my car, so its not too quick.

I get some now and then that want to race. As you can see in my sig I dont have anything impressive at all, but some still want to race. I get more people eyeing my car down like crazy than anyone wanting to race me. I keep my car clean at all times. Its washed once a week and waxed every other week. People stare and compliment on how clean it is for such an old car rather than trying to race. I usually dont want to race anyway. I dont like racing people I dont know. Some people drive real stupid.

I'm just dying for this to happen. You get the last laugh most of the time anyway.

While we're on the subject, anyone remember the ending of Back To the Future 3?

Its happened several times to me... but none recently.... I can only remember 2, both younger lookin kids... one in an Integra and the other in a VW GTi (which I must say, was nicely done up)....

I let em both go... not risking anything street racing in the Commonwealth of Virginia .... not with our cops and laws...
