On the streets
Do yall have other people in imports stare at you when your sitting at an intersection or passing by them on the street! I mean really stare! Like still looking at the sideview mirror after they pass you! I had one guy who blew his fart can when he drove by when i was sitting at a driveway waiting to pull out! Why do they do that! I had one guy when i was pumping my gas circle around me three times revving his engine while his exhaust sounded like a garbage disposal! Why?

Lol, no one does that around here, I always talk to people with modified imports, and I tend to give other 7th gens the nod at a light or a wave if we've seen each others cars on the street alot.
But when my car got stolen and I was driving the Toyota Echo rental car, old corolas and chevy Sprints always raced me...lol....thats pee your pants funny when ya see it

Rep Power: 295 best thing to do at a light is to rev back like crazy, and then let them burn off by themselves when the light turns green....the best is when they look at my GF like if they win they get her.....hahaha

you have to be talking about my town. you live in Hazleton Pa not Denton TX!!!
my favorite experience was i pulled up next to an Si and I had a DVD playing so he rolled down the window and said Thats nice. I was like your civic is alot nicer than my car though. We raced but after 25 he started to really get away. LOL LX auto vs Si. hehe. Had him to 15. then again he slipped to 15 so thats why HEHE.
Ive gotten alot of compliments from eclipse/talon drivers too but civic drivers around here are either old (2001+ vic) or poor and stupid (2000 or earlier vic.)

Rep Power: 295 Everyone here must have a street in there city or town thats packed with shoppers and cars and so busy that no one drives even close to the speed limit.....
This guy pulled up next to me at the light in a cavalier with every stick on plastic and chrome aftermarket part and starts reving up his engine to race me.......lol......So I stop staring at his monstrosity of a Cavalier, and look at the road ahead and there must be ten cars in front, pedestrians J walking, and people parking on both sides. So the light turns green and he floors it chirps the tires and then slams on the brakes 40 feet later.......lol.....I can't belive he owned me like that...haha

Rep Power: 262 I'm in Dallas and that happy horsesh!t goes on here to. Its usually very comical because what I get the most is the riced out Kia. OH yes, I said riced out Kia(or occasional Hyundai), I'm not ever going to say that my 7thgen is "fast", but my God man you have a fvckin Kia. At which point I blow them a kiss and they get upset. Very humorous.
I think I only attract attention cuz I usually have my system bumpin'.. but what happens all the time is i would pull up at a light, and the guy beside me would keep looking over at me wanted to race.. and when the light turns green he speeds off and I just drive normally

Rep Power: 264 Most of them try to size up the car to see if it's a race they can win, checking to see what you have. I let them go there business, reving and what not, then watch them go a few meters and stop while they look dumb as hell in their junk.

Rep Power: 340 A lot of times guys stare and sometimes try to yell at me haha thats when I pretend I don't hear, girls glance then quickly look away when they see a chick in the driver's seat. My car gets alot of looks because on my side of town there are alot of fixed up trucks and hardly any fixed up cars.

Rep Power: 380 Some times people think I'm reving on them while I'm downshifting to a stop... I get stared at alot because of that, but I just ignore them.

Rep Power: 262 Sometimes when I catch a gawker, I try and give them a reason to keep lookin as a way of some sort of self actualization. I'll throw in some Mr. Pooky, or Easy E or something, that they would normally not expect hearing from a pasty fellow like myself, especially with 2 12" diamonds belting out gangsta gangsta. Nothing like pissin em off.

Rep Power: 0 I have noticed this too. PPl try to mad dog, until I look at there Giant *** wing weak *** body kit and really neat graphics all down the side.....ya they stare and then I point and laugh they looked puzzled like there **** is icey hot flossy. Most of the time I get nods and nod back almost like saying whats up.
Vic's almost done... thats sorta depressing...

Rep Power: 318 about a week or so ago, i was sitting at a light, waiting for it to change. I look over to the left side of the intersection, and there's some fool in his mustang sitting going downhill (there's a hill at that portion of the intersection), waiting to make a left turn. (the light was for another side to turn). I couldn't help but laugh at the guy in the passenger seat, a hip=hoped out with his hat on slightly crooked, and tilted up. ANd for whatever reason, his buddy guns his engine, and swerves across, making a left turn. I guess they were intimidated by my 02 auto sedan! LOL!

Rep Power: 0 Yeah i guess all you can do it just stare back or race them if your feeling lucky! I just find it funny that people wanna waste gas at $2+ a gallon just to see how the other person will respond! Ohh well! I guess its just a perk of owning an import!

Rep Power: 0 I usually don't get picked on, in all honesty.
I guess I don't draw enough attention from the riceboys. I'm debadged with clear corners, and i've been approached by actual tuners with good cars wanting to chat at the gas station, but not really rev'ed on by mini-Vin Diesels.
Only once did I get picked on while driving, and it was by a newer Eclipse RS with dealer Temp tags on the interstate. I finally bit after a few minutes of his taunting, and politely destroyed his ego.
