I gotta ask
What goes through peoples minds? What makes a person want to race another car.
I am coming home from my friends house, i go across "the boulevard" to get to the highway, and i pass by this guy in a EP3 who was on the boulevard. I've seen this guy driving around before because my friends shop is on the street. He's one of these winners that drives up and down the boulevard showing how cool he is.
So I'm stopped at the light to get on the highway and i noticed he's behind me, I'm guessing when he saw me he turned around to catch up to me. At the light he sits there and revs his engine a couple times. I'm now on the on ramp getting onto the highway and he's up my *** (thought about giving him ye old brake test but elected against it. As i get onto the highway he jumps next to me and does the ricer flyby. Then slows down to pace me.
I'm putting along in 6th at like 2000 rpm and he's sitting there in 3rd at like 5 riding right next to me, every once in a while he gets on it and slows back down, egging me on a presume.
I have two routes to go home at this point, so i decided to not signal exit on the left and take the long way home just so i don't have to deal with this *** anymore. I almost thought about staying on highway and just keep on driving, see how far he'd actually follow me.
My question is just because a car has an exhaust on it do you think its gonna race you? Does he realize that gas prices are really expensive right now?
Stupid ricers. I'm really hoping he saw my licence plate frame and reads this, if he does: You sir, are an ***.

Rep Power: 270 I guess fast and the furious has a lot to do with it. They think life is a game or something. I never challenge people but if i get challenged i go for it if its safe. Yeah most people think an exhaust makes your car a race car

Rep Power: 312 some people just need a quick rush. some are just stupid. i don't instigate races. ive only been in a couple. one was with a friend. one was a stranger in a cavi. i don't know man. just ignore them, or smoke them.
the first week i had my vic, which is the 1st week of march 05, this guy was riding me on an access road. i hadn't pushed my car past 4k yet and was bone stock. he was in an 01 accord 4banger stick. im stick too. so im going 80, he rides me. other cars are around, he rides me harder. so i push 90, still rides me. so at this point im going, cause i want him off me. 100 still rides me, i get to 110 at like 5k-5.5k rpms(can't remember) and i finally pass all the other cars in the lane beside me. and he flies off in the other lane and tries to stare me down while doing it. i wasn't even racing. i just wanted to get the hell away from that moron. i love rice. but only if its fried or steamed.

Rep Power: 305 i tend to sense races... and they're usually against worthless cars. best i ever got was a turbo beetle, and there was traffic.
i truly have never instigated a race. i've never stopped to talk to someone who picks races. curious to know who does myself

Rep Power: 299 I get the same thing once in a while, it always seems to be when there are 3 other people in my car. I just smile and wave. and reduce my speed to the speed limit. I once had this guy in a suburban pace me on my right when I was trying to merge into his lane. I hit the gas to pass and saw him speed up also, then I stepped on the brakes to slide in behind him.... that ****** f@cker threw on his hazard lights how gay is that.

Rep Power: 272 This is why I don't drive my civic anymore for commuting. Every wannabe racers would rev and give me the stare.
Get a bike. People tend to leave you alone when ur on a bike.
I also find it very funny that people are posting that they hate ricers when half of the people on this thread posts about their street racing

Rep Power: 272 God damn street racers.
I think all you street racers are morons.
I decided to drive my civic today when I wanted to go pick up pizza. Some fool in a STI gives me the thumbs down as he does a flyby on me.
I should get on my two bikes and just go looking for trouble with all the street racers where I live. Better yet, I should borrow my neighbors shifter kart and go around throwing eggs at street racers and gun it out of there
