My buddy drives an RSX Type-S and he didn't know how fast it was til we took of from a light. He was like s***! that thing just squatted and took off! I was like, yeah, it's pretty quick. He gives me a hard time about it being a family car and I call his car a Honda, it gets him annoyed

Also had a dude the other day next to me at a light in a stock 98 civic and he saw me pull up and said "hey, nice car. is that a 6?" i told him yeah it was and he was like oh, sounds good man. He took off from the light and I didn't even bother to try. Caught the next light, he's like it's not that fast dude. I was like let me try again... light turned green, punched it, no more ricer near me.

this one takes the cake

i went with a guy to a basketball court in the ghetto today in my 92. there were about 30 asians in the court, and about 5 civics, 1 eclipse, a rav4, and a bunch of other Japanese vehicles parked by it, no domestics

after i mentioned that to the guy, he said "wow, your car is the only domestic parked here, everyone else has Japanese vehicles"

WTF

Out on NW highway one day.....young man pulls up next to me at a stop light, in a chevy malibu. Looks at me, looks at the road and nods. My friend in the passenger seat says, man those are fast. I simply ignore, the other driver, and my friend.

Light turns green, he punches it. I wait. I, roll on just as usual. When he finally decides to slow down, he rolls his window down and holds up six fingers.....

Then, i punch it. He was not next to me anymore.....

My friend says, well, there you go.

A kid at school in a honda with a extremely loud exhaust and poorly put on body kit (LOL) cut across everyone to the front of the line of cars trying to get out of a one exit parking lot which I was just about to get out of, and then looked at me giving me the "my car is better than yours look" then I just laughed to my passenger and then he revved his car, and so... I put in neutral and floored it (After letting the car warm up all the way of course) and the sound of my engine alone is probably louder than his exhaust which is probably because of a few "accidental" holes that just happened to be drilled into the airbox and so he just looked away LOL

A chick asked me what would be the first thing I'd do if I hit the lottery. I said I'd go out and buy a new Maxima. First she said "The still make Maximas?" then she said "Why wouldn't you get a good car like a Mercedes or a Jaguar?" I told her that if I wanted a Chrysler or a Ford I would just go straight to the source. She blanked out on me then I dropped her home and deleted her number.

Ok Im new to this forum, but have been browsing as a guest for some time now and decided to join.

Today at college, I pulled up, got out my car, and as i was walking towards the main building, I turn around and spot about 3 people (2 men, 1 woman) STARING down my car as if it was a ghost. So i decide to walk balk towards my car, and as I approach, one of the men ask "Hey man, where did you get those rims?" Mind you I have stock wheels. I gave him that "are you serious??" look, and after realizing he was, I said "Japan." and walked away.

heres a new one, basically my 3rd gen is worthy of a dirty rag

i went to the car wash and 2 mega wannabe gangsters pull in from the out door in a caddy deville. A-hole No.1 asks the worker for a lite, and the guy tells him no smoking.

meanwhile, A-hole No.2 comes up to me and tells me to spray his hand, he had a bunch of crap on it. i said its gonna hurt full blast, and right after im done all he says is **** it and wipes his friggin dirty little hands allover my 92's trunk and walks away, and this was right after i was finished and ready to dry. i swear to god i wanted to run him down or just smoke that caddy. they even broke the vacuum of the stall they were in

today as i was standing next to my 89 wearing my maxima.org hat, at work, where I constantly complain about not having time to work on my MAXIMA's, one of my coworkers comes up to me and looks at the 18s and the stillen exhaust and goes and i quote "Why in the world would you mod an altima"... granted my 89 maxima has no nissan badges, or marking of any sort, except the logo on the steering wheel, thats a big mistake to make

Getting dogged for a modding a 4-door is pretty much the extent here. It still gets tiring to hear it, though.

Last I remembered, Subies and Evo's are 4-doors. And they're decently fast...a different class of car, sure. But still...
