I was cruzing down the parkway heading home from school doing about 70-75. Then this blue 7thgen civic came flying down to my left side on the fast lane so i said to myself *ok, lets have a lil fun*(driving gets boring when all you do is drive 45min to school every day)..anyway..so we were doing about 95-100. I dont know what he has(lx, dx, ex, hx) or if he's stepping on it, but i seem to be a lil faster than him. I like staying behind a car and you just know when the guy steps on it then you too step on it and see if you can keep up. Well i did keep up and i was creeping closer and closer to him. Anyway, so i hit the last toll before my exit, still behind him. He took off quick, i did the same. If you live in nj you know how the tolls are wide open then it merges back to 2 or 3 lanes. We were coming from the right side. He tried cutting these 2 cars to go in the fast lane. There was a car merging into my lane(slow lane) so i kept my speed up to try to beat him, paying close attention to him(i did beat him). When i looked ahead of me, all i saw was break lights and tires smoking coming from the civic. I dont know what happend, but i thought he made it through those two cars, but i guess not, or did he??. He made the car in front of me pull a lil to the side then he ended up in front of me again. I almost hit him, but thank god i had enough distance from him when i was breaking. like i said i dont really know what happend. maybe he shifted wrong? maybe he's just stupid and thinks he can outrun another civic like mine? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] i dunno .. if your a member on this site, reveal yourself and let us know what happend. Just thought i'd share that wit you guys, cause all i do is drive back and forth to school and it gets really boring.

1. Civics aren't race cars

2. Don't race on the highway

Now I know. Everyone does a little "street racing" once in a while, BUT, it sounds like you guys weren't being safe about it AT ALL. That really pisses me off. Cutting people off and whatnot, that's just STUPID.

let me ammend that.

dont race on the freeway/highway if there is TRAFFIC (for obvious and previously stated reasons).

Id rather you race on an open freeway at like 2 AM then on my street.

agreed, at least do it where there is no traffic so you're not weaving in and out of cars

How can you even have an effective "race" when there is traffic?

This isn't hurdle jumping.

Omg u guys seriously need to calm down.. it allready happened and you all posting Oh your an idiot isent going to change his ways and EVERYONE does it once and while so dont be a hypocrite.

He tries to post and find out who it was to see what happened and all you can do is flame him? Im sure he knows not to race through traffic and if you acctualy read his post he was NOT the one who was weaving in between cars.

Also you dont know what the road conditions were like or how conjested it was or how many lane highway it was and none of u live in nj.

Just to let you guys know, I dont race a lot, infact not really. And if/when i do try to street race someone, i try to be careful and try not to get cars around me in danger. i know street racing isnt at all safe, but im causious of whats around me. I knew someone would flame me on this one.

He did something stupid and got called on it. Sort of like you. BTW those shoe commercials sucked.

Patrick, i dont think they like you very much...lol

in his defence, however, real "racing" isnt about getting to top speed in a straight line. real racing should have some strategy involved, and sometimes that means passing other cars. im not saying cutting them off, but theres some people who like to be a$$holes and block everyone and not let them go. so cutting them off is a neccessary evil, and it doesnt mean that its always unsafe. you have to know your car and its limitations.

that said, i probably wouldnt have raced him, but i guarantee he would have been behind me sooner or later. so please, dont get all your panties in a bunch and act all high and mighty like you dont do this yourself. i bet some of you who have nitrous dont have it there for decoration.
and furthermore, he wasnt the one responcible for the near accident, so dont blame him for something he didnt do, hes just trying to find out what happened and share his story. if you want to jump on someone, jump on all the idiots who post kill stories (i know for a fact that some of you here have posted such kill stories yourselves).

This is how i see this site of the times

Post: Which rims should i get? this or this?
members reply: Both of them sucks, get this or this.

Post: Who would win, this car or this car?
members reply: Those cars are both slow. Dont even bother!

Post: I ran 14.1 1/4 mile!
members reply: Prove it!

Post: My car has 150hp!
members reply: Show us some dyno reading or else your full of Sh*t!

See my point??? Some people here dont respect what you have to say, and some dont give out a straight up answer to your question

Actually, like I said before, I only use my nitrous at the track and under specific other conditions (i.e. 2AM on the freeway with no traffic).

ALSO, in the eyes of the law, in all 50 states, he IS responsible for any accident due to the fact that he was INVOLVED IN THE RACE. Say that other civic DID smack into those cars and killed someone.
Guess what? boy racer here, if caught, would be going to pound me in the *** prison. So yes, he WOULD be held responsible.

I wasnt even racing him after the toll. I only stepped on the gas after him to see how *quick* he is. Stopped when the lane merged into 2 and i only sped up cause there was a car right next to me and we were both going on the same lane. I never liked civics, it wasnt my choice that i got one (yea start flamin on that one too) i learned to love it and site is the best on infos for it. People like you makes me disrespect people who drives civic cause they think theyre all that. One day we'll see what your lil B16 can do

JOE are you a complete idiot? You must not be aware of how the tollway system is set up im not even going to bother with your ignorance anymore. You are such a hypocrite it disgusts me. I remember you posting prolly yesterday about you racing another si on public streets. And im postivie u posted how u looked back and he must of been at least 2 bus lengths behind u and guess what for those 2 second you wernt looking at the road funny how much shlt u could of gotten into in those 2 seconds considering im sure you were going 100+

Also who cares if its at night doesn't mean that there wont be any people its MORE dangerous at night why? Because u have dumbass drunk drivers driving around without there lights on and other stupid shlt. Gawd ur dumb dont even bother replying to my post cus im sure in hell not going to read it.

You're an idiot, plain and simple, just like the other idiot that flow past you to start this whole "race".
What would have happended if he slammed on the brakes and you rear-ended him? Tomorrow we'd all see a post "OMG, my Civic is getting doggy-style with another Civic...pics included". Then we'd have to listen to you cry about why your car is a piece of crap now and heading to the wreakers.
Use common sense and don't endanger the lives of others.
If you want to race, take to a track.

My 2cents,

What exactly changed YOUR mind that made you start believing what everyone says? On top of being cynical i'm also very skeptical. I'm pretty pesimistic too. Once on the internet if someone's claiming their hair is brown they better have CLOSE UPS with official color scales to PROVE it or they can kiss my ***. : )

Yes, you are going to read it. You’re doing it right now.

Do you even know the specifics of the race you are referring to? Did you even bother to read the whole thing for that matter? It would seem not. Either that, or you have the memory recall of a gold fish with Alzheimer’s.
Did I post where it took place? Did you read that it was from a 60MPH roll? Maybe that would have clued you in. You also seemed to skip the part where I specifically stated that I wasn’t looking at the other car, due to the fact that I was too busy looking at the road ahead. Literacy ownz you.

As for this gem of a statement: "Also who cares if its at night doesn't mean that there wont be any people its MORE dangerous at night " let me say this;

ARE YOU RETARDED? Racing at 2AM is endangering more people then doing so at 12 PM? Not only is that illogical, your reasoning is flawed and pathetic. Sort of like your entire posting career on this board. Please end your self now. The world does not need you to pollute the gene pool any more then it is.

Now I bet you are going to ignore this, pretending to have never read it. That’s okay, I wouldn’t try for a rebuttal either if I were you, because I WILL make you my bitch.

You were not "racing"; you were just flooring it, in order to keep up with him in a contest of speed... which was only to see how "quick" he was. Yea, I can see that defense fly during your manslaughter arraignment.

One day? I've already posted it. Repeatedly. 13.92@101.25MPH

Yeah I don't agree with street racing and especially in traffic. But its said and done so just be safe out there. I see to many totalled civics topics come and go. Lost my best friend awhile back in a car accident so it wasn't fun.

Keep the civic looking good and play safe [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
