I wouldnt race............

me and my girlfriend were sitting at a light this evening, i just happened to look in my side view mirror, and all i saw was one round, yellow fog light moving up....i looked out my window to see a blue WRX pull up.....

i had my window cracked about an inch or so, and as soon as he stopped, he reved....and at the top of it i heard his BOV....vroooommmshhhh.....sounded soooooooooooooooooo good!!!
But C'MON!!!! Ive raced accords, civics, eclipses, tegs, and all sorts of other things, but i cant even justify racing an AWD turbocharged WRX!!!

the light turned green and he was gone......i feel like such a pus, but, in an effort to make myself fell better,I had another set of rims in my trunk (stock rims and tires), and 2 other people in my car....he was alone....Im retarded, oh well!

would anyone else of raced???

naw
i would have smiled and said naw
point to the passengers and the trunk and just pull off regularly
the wheels in the trunk would have been a great reason
a great reason not to get me @$$ whoop'd and feel little
especially wit to other people in the car

Yeah I was racing another 7th-Gen one day, and we were only going about 60 when the next light turned yellow... I slowed down and stopped cuz I wanted to race him from a dead stop but the loser kept on going...... so THEN a blue WRX pulled up next to me. There were two guys in the front and the one in the passenger side asked if I wanted to race. I go "Man come on, y'all have a turbo!" and well I raced him anyway and WOW that car pulled away fast..... So yeah I know it was stupid but oh well, I've always wanted to see just how bad I could get beat by one.

What i do is just do a little shitty rev. LOL. especially when the Baby blue ricer in ront withthe Roxy sticker revs on me, i just drive normal and laugh my *** off. Or like Saturday night when I just took off at the light on a Riced out Eclipse with 2 white guys in it, and went about 50 down the 40 and I slow down, next thing i know, the eclipse comes flying by me. Then at the next light before i turn i see a cop and then when im actually turning right at the corner, I see the lights go off. Bwahhaha, I bet it was my fault that the dude in the eclipse got the ticket. SUCKER!! ha ha oh yeah I drive a 94 civic sedan basically stock, no performance mods just audio stuff.

I hate when people do that to me....The other night I was at a red light with my girlfriend and some idiot in a 328 BMW pulls up next to me....It was 2 young punks....and starts revving his motor....I dont race....ever....I fix my car up to show thats all....so hes revving and my girl and I are just laughing at him.....He couldnt see me though, since my windows are tinted.....the light turns green and he chirps his tires and takes off.....I just drove away normally....Probably bragging to his friends that he beat a 7th generation civic......What a loser

i would race. i wouldnt care if i lost.

a while back in bedford hills ny i was sitting at a light. a brand new tinted m3 pulls up and revs. im just laughing but i said to my self "heh what the hell i run ya." light goes green, and i definately got the better launch (id say that m3 was his first stick car). smoked him in 1st gear then hit the brakes cause a beater truck thought it was cool to not actually stop at stop signs, and turned out into my lane. i looked to my right after i smashed the break pedal, and all i saw was a red streak.

edit: i usually dont have passengers. i guess thats cause i just use girls for sex then leave them, so you wont see me carting around a gf. i would never race with a passenger.

Street racing is stupid. Havent any of you people learned from all the deaths and accidents that people post or you read in the paper....If you are going to race then take it to the track, not the streets.

And if there is no track? what do we do then. As much as I see all those images, I would still race another person in a skinny minute. It's in the blood.

I only race on backroads though, not city streets or anything like that.

The message should be "Race responsibly" instead of only keep it on a track.

I would have raced just to make my passengers laugh on how pathetically slow my car is.

race responsibly means keeping it on the track and if there is no track then you dont race. it doesn't matter how disserted a road looks, you cannot effectively control what's ahead (admittedly that is part of the rush)

Dude, I am not going to stop racing for anybody.

1. I don't race with anyone else in the car
2. If I crash on a backroad then there is no chance of any pedestrian getting hurt.
3. If I die, I bit the big one doing what I love.


Racing is like a drug. I gotta have it.

I agree, as long as your not a dipsh!!t racing in 5 o clock traffic I dont see the problem. Its a risk you take on the street.

i think this country needs more tracks. honestly, if there was atleast 1 in each somewat big city, the death/ticket count from street racing would be so much lower. or have a event once every watever where its free for a day at your local track.. thats just my opinion..

but yea, i wouldn't have raced.. im not all about street racing
