So, I'm sitting at a stop light, minding my own business. Then, from out of the distance, I hear the sound of a fart can. I turn to my right as the bass from inside the car starts rattling everything in sight. Through the tinted windows, I see the lights flashing and dazzling inside. This was no ordinary car. THIS was a Honda Prelude. The window rolls down, as the young, white ethnic boy with his stereotypical backwards hat nods at me. He revs his engine, indicating he would like to race...how could I sit there and not take the challenge? He was mocking me to my face, openly challenging my car to a race in public!!! How could I deny that?

Of course, I rev my engine likewise, letting him know that it was now "on". What happened though, I was not expecting. We had a small rev war, then turned our attention to the light. Sweat was dripping from my brow, and then the light turned green. Slamming gears, spinning tires, high revs, and moments later, it was over.

Within seconds, the prelude had put about 3 car lengths between us. All I could make out after a few more seconds were taillights.....

I couldn't help but giggle though as I made my left turn into the gas station....what an idiot.......

 

The kid wanted to race you..and you were in the turn lane? Clever.

 

hypothetically speaking... this was in your simulator, right?

 

Happens to me on the highway all the time. I can't help but laugh.

The funniest ones are the guys who have modded their engines to sound al farty but left the body panels all rusty and crappy-looking.

 

yes, this was in the 951 turn lane simulator...

 

I woulda asked him what he'd done to his car. My first car was a Saturn (ooh cool I know ) and I had it turboed at one point -- before blowing a head gasket and cracking a rod; I was young and stupid.

Anyway, I was next to a Civic w/ a fart can and we were off, and I just barely lost to him. He said he had put a turboed B18 in there. Needless to say he was impressed.

Ah well, can't win 'em all...

 

some kids were yelling at me the other day that i had a rice rocket muffler on my porsche bc the po welded a different kinda round tip on the stock muffler. I was kinda upset but then i saw they had chrome accents above the wheels of their honda accord.. silly kids...

 

also, please note, I was in a turn lane....

 

wait, so where you really trying??? How did he beat a 951

 

read the post above yours...I wasn't actually racing...I was in a turn lane and the idiot actually thought I was racing him, so he sped off like a race, and I just turned laughing

 

Well played good sir, well played.

 

I just look over, point and laugh at these retards. . . . then drive 5mph under the speed limit. Really pisses them off!

 

one rev from your engine should have told him that you were out of his league. As in he could beat you so easily that he didnt need to waste gas.


B18 engines are no joke. especially if theyre boosted!

 

Oh snap! ...ah well the semester's over so I don't have to think...

Yes indeed, well played good sir.

 

Ton's of kids everywhere. So far I've yet to lose. I love killin mustangs.
