Default So I'm gonna stop driving her...:-/

Yes, I'm going to stop driving my 951...not because I want to, but because I have to. I am fed up with people trying to race me, and bolting around me coming nearly inches away trying to cut me off and look cool. AAAAAAAAAARGH! It's SO annoying. I gave in once, but I won't do that again. I just hate how people can ruin a nice cruise on a good day. I personally just like to cruise around town with the sunroof up, windows down, etc...and some guy in a Honda or something tries to show off to his friends....I hate it, and it's annoying. So I'm going to revert to the Fox. Good, reliable transportation. I just need to find a good track

good thing is, you could kill him in the 951, and choose not to race, even if i wanted to I couldn't beat most ricers in my NA, I won't try anyways, unless its in some twisties, thats a shame though man!

I'm not much for street racing. Ive raced someone once, and it was just stupid. I like going to a track, and getting my car through a course. If you can do that, then you can drive, not going in a straight line. Meh...I'll find a nice course here soon, I hope. But it's not that bad, I can work on cleaning her up! although she is pretty clean right now as she is. But hey, the more I can clean, the better she'll look!

Possibly the smartest conclusion drawn in a long time. I commend you.

I ignore idiots and wannabe's- sometimes it's hard. I own my car, and have for a long time . I need streetpunks like a 3rd butthole.

Damn, i was wondering the same thing Chris! Two buttholes, thats gotta be high upkeep!

Noone ever tries to race me when im in the 944. Maybe its just the area im in. Or maybe they know its slow as hell .

You should try living in SoCal, where every other car is a Honda Civic with either a turbo or NOS.
I get challenged every day in my NA, and I just like to shake my head "Sure lets go jackass" then watch as they take off all by themselves.
But its not limited to our P-Cars, I get more crap when I drive my RSX-S... At least in that car I KNOW I could teach these kids a lesson or two!

I dont think I would let other stupid people stop me from driving my car. I do know what you mean, but at the same time, when I ignore them, they leave me alone. Im sorry you feel this way.

Haha, I want to travel the U.S. sometime, drive all over, go to as many gatherings as I can! That would be awesome. My car seems great for cruising just as it is for the track!
