scary race against a bmw 7 series
it wasn't so much of a race cause i know he could have killed me at will, but we were both driving pretty fast on an pretty empty freeway at about 110-120.....we ran into some traffic, but i still had a clear lane. the dude in the bmw is weaving in and out of traffic at 120 mph, coming literally a foot or less to other cars bumpers. at one point i look over and he is a foot behind this guys bumper next to me. at this point i just let him in cause i don't want anyone to do cause this idiot is coming as close as you can without dying. i just backed off and let him go. that had to be the closest i had ever seen anyone come to killing themselves in a car

I saw a brand new mercedes 500 and a new 7 series bmw doing the same thing a few days ago. I was doing 80, and they flew by me like I wasn't even moving. Stupid rich people.

sounds like some of the SUVs drivers around here in FL, putting people in smaller cars at unnecessary risk. That wasnt very smart of you either, people who do this is what causes cops to go all out on full force harassing every sport compact that look "fast".

I am totally against street racing, for one people like this who can't control a car,,,,, I have never raced and never will......My fathers cousin was killed pretty much by 2 punks one swerved to avoid a bus and caused the other to go over the median, a 2 lane rd each side, at 120 MPH and hit my cousins car head on at 93MPH estimated. Killed my cousin, 2nd cousin to be exact, and his wife got banged up pretty good, the punks were driving a eagle talon and the other punk was driving a camaro, both were racing...the kid in the camaro got off and the other kid only got 3 yrs in prison, should have been 15= but couldn't get him on drug charges. I hope this is a lesson to ya.

Thats pretty insane. The other day, an accord wanted to race me on the freeway. We weren't going crazy or anything -not even going over 85 -just kinda sticking around eachother. He is in the far left lane and im right next to him. There is a car up in front of him and the psyco in the accord all of a sudden blasts off and passes the guy in front of him on the left!? In the caution lane or whatever its called. Such a moron, nice way to kill himself.

in my defense here i never switched lanes, as soon as i got to traffic i slowed down to the speed limit cause yeah it is dumb to weave in and out of traffic at 120 mph......i just saw the bmw do it cause i guess he thought i was behind him

And this is why Honda owners (especially Civic) are being labeled by other car enthusiast to be wannabes, street racing. On the other car forum that I am a member of, they do not tolerate street racing. Street racing thread gets closed in a second.

just race when it is safe, I raced a bmw m3 the other day in my dads porsche on an relitivly empty highway, I think that its fine as long you are not putting innocent people in danger. When there is traffic ahead, just slow down and race when its all clear. Simple

I dont have anytime tonight to read anyone's posts but here's my thoughts...
Once you go to a race track a few times you lose the tendancy to want to race around town if you will. Since I started racing I drive really slow on the streets now, rarely spinning my tires, and I'm boosted. All I say to people (for where I live) is spend the $17 bucks and race all night till your heart drops. You can't go wrong, and you'll feel better about yourself in the end.

Yeah that sounds like it would be really a lot of fun to do. But all i have is a AEM CIA on my car -i mean i love to race, but im not fast at all, Im kinda expecting only boosted cars there. would i be totally out of place?

When I drive to work there are two lanes on Georgia avenue (sometimes a third, if there are no parked cars). You always have to be dodging buses which stop in the right lane, and left turners, that stop in the left lane. At an intersection, I was doing about 35-40 in the right lane when some SUV driver decides he's going to do some performance driving and CAREEN into my lane to get around a left turning car. Well, he did not yield or else I wouldn't have had to apply my brakes. So in the intersection, I got around him (27-30mph) by passing him on the right in the third lane (a car was illegally parked about 8 cars up for that time of the day). I sped up and cut in front of him so I wouldn't hit the parked car. And then he honked at me. Jeez. I was just trying to maintain my momentum. If he hadn't cut in front of me, none of this would have happened.
I hate it how a lot of SUV drivers think they're driving some kind of INDY car or something, weaving in and out, tailgating, and going 15-25mph over the speed limit.
Women Drivers suck ***
Asian women drivers suck more ***.
Old drivers suck ***
SUV drivers suck ***.
OLD ASIAN WOMEN DRIVERS DRIVING SUVS ARE THE WORST EVAR.
