944Pete...now THAT is the story I like to hear! That's my friggin' fantasy!

I hope that cop laughed his *** off at those punk *** retards as he wrote them a ticket.

Now THAT is a story 944Pete. I can only dream that this ever happens to me.

My two favorites:

1) Buddy in a beat up early 90s jetta with 4 passengers revs at me, and takes off like a sloth out of hell. Gets pretty mad when mine and my buddies faces get red from laughter at the next intersection.

2)Its pissing rain, purple Probe GT next to me has a flat front. I mention it to the passenger who then takes my kindness as a challenge and tells his sister to "smoke me". She sure taught me....she burned out, shredded the tire and f@cked the rim up. Me and my girl laugh all the way home.....

You gotta love 'em. Anybody ever get SUVs trying to play?? I constantly get big *** 4x4s trying to teach me a lesson. I'm betting thats their way of trying to convince themselves that is was a good idea not to buy a sports car cause the wife was jealous that her girlfriend just bought a Durango.

I just squish my face up like I smelled a bad fart, and motion my hand like I am brushing them off my shoulder. Drives 'em nuts.

Hey, if they think I am stuck up for driving a "Porchhhh" then why should I let them down? Since they are attempting to hide their jealousy with intimidation, ignoring them and rubbing your car in their face makes them feel twice as bad.

I laugh because their car+mods is usually more expensive than what I am driving. They are just too stupid to realize it.

944Pete - I would PAY MONEY to watch that while it happened!!! (And I'm a cheap-skate.) That is soooooo funny! Oh, to be a fly on the wall... I nominate you for the "Best Idiot Ricer Story" award.

pete944

That story is absolutely true. My wife was in the car with me and was getting p!$$ed off thinking I was going to actually race that moron!

In regards to Pete's story:

I saw something very similar on 'Cops' over the summer. This guy in a new Camaro and some other car are so wound up about racing at this light that they don't realize a squad car has just pulled up behind them. They both take off, and the cop turns on the lights/sirens. Surprisingly, they both actually stopped for him. First smart thing they probably had done all night.

You know what's embarrassing? The fact that people in half tons, mini-vans, and SUV's, will often challenge me. A few years ago, I played tag with a ***** in a Silverado. I don't like being tailgated and this guy was about two feet off my bumper at 65 mph. Yet, he refused to pass when the opportunity presented itself. I'd drop it into 4th and pull WAY ahead, then slow back down to 65. This guy just kept speeding up again until he was back on my bumper. Yeah, it seems to be some kind of ego boost for some people to say they beat a Porsche today.
Years ago, I had someone in an old (mid-late 70's) Lincoln or LTD (not quite sure exactly what it was, but it was a big ugly-*** boat!) playing the tailgating game. I had it up to 125 (First and definately LAST time) to try to shake this automotive abomination. Do you think I could do it? Not a chance! The bugger kept pace with me and I quickly decided to back it way back down to legal speeds. That really put things in perspective. The 944 is a nice car, but it's certainly NOT a supercar!

I have so many ricer stories its not funny. Two recent ones are kinda funny...

I was in my truck, a 2000 F150 4x4 with the 5.4l motor, when this civic pulls up next to me at the light. I was looking at his car with pure disdain, and I think he thought I was admiring it....anyway, the light turns green.

Well, an f150 isnt a racing machine, nor do I pretend it to be or drive it like one, but I have gobs of torque. I put my foot on the gas and my truck simply pulls away from this civic which is trying like mad to race me.

After the light is a gradual hill, well the truck has no problem with hills and so I give it a bit more gas and simply drive away from the idiot. At the top of the hill is another light, which annoyingly is always red. The kid pulls up next to me asking me if I am running NOS, or something. I said, nope bone stock, rolled up the passanger window and waited for the light. Mind you I didnt push my truck hard, just a little more than normal.

Well the light turns green, he is staring at me, revving his motor, he dumps the clutch and proceeds to run into the back of another ricer Civic turning into a Stake & Shake that had run the red light the other way.

They both got out and uppeared unhurt so I laughed pretty much the rest of the way home.


My 951 recent story is a little different. I was on a highway on a weekday afternoon in a less than busy area. I was doing about 80 when I noticed a C3 corvette (looked like a 74/75) pull up next to me. So I do what I usually do, I don't even downshift I just put the gas down, and let the boost take me away (Hey that sounds like a commercial....Boost, take me away...but I digress)....

Anyway, I pull away abit, and then he is right there....we do this up to abut 140. (This is about 10 years ago, when I was much less cautious,etc). Well, at 140 I decide to slow down. As soon as I tap the brakes he literally explodes by me at a rate that was SCARY.

A few minutes later I catch up and we both take the same exit and meet at a light. In the car is an older guy with a huge smile. He apologized for driving like a nut, but was so proud of his new motor. He had a 500ci motor with twin quads, and built top to bottom with NOS ( He said it dynoed at 775hp without the NOS). He had the NOS on for the last burst adn had topped 190. Anyway, he was a nice guy, not rude, and we ended up going to a Taco Bell and shooting the .

Previous to that point I had thought the 951s domain was high speed accelaration and thought it was fairly untouchable. After seeing that I decided it didnt matter, it was all dangerous.

I wish it was cheap to make the car rocket to 60 in 3.6 and top off at around 110 or so. I don't need to go fast, but I love the feeling of gettng there quickly!

Sorry for the long rant. I have SO many stories I could tell. We could almost a new forum for it called Stories....and have people from all the porsche families post in there....

I realize I started that paragraph off with my recent 951 story, and that then state that this was about 10 years ago. It really was that long ago, I actually typed a different story than what I was initially thinking, and I didn't re-read the post before I submitted it.

Sorry to sound paranoid, but I made a mistake, and credibility is something I value.

I was on vacation last week, so I spent a lot of time with my two kids (11 & 7 boys) in the car. They're now shouting 'Rice-a-Roni' everytime they see a bewinged Civic with white lamps and manhole exhaust. And I'll say 'The smaller the dog' they respond in unision 'the bigger the bark!'

Only problem I can see is that they'll be looking for me to subsidize their cars at 17, since they'll be wanting Porsche's. Me, I started off with a Buick Sportwagon, albeit one with a 350 V8!

I was downtown last weekend and there is this 944na that i have seen on and off but this is the first time i had followed him he stops at a stop sign on a back road twice where all these ricers are camped out in groups in the parking lot and tries to light them up, cause all the guys in the parking lot are telling him, he got laughed at pretty good when the first time he reved at let the clutch out but not totally dumping the clutch, and squeeked the tires then the second time he totally dumped it and barley got a squak. All i said was theres one less 944 either due to 1. clutch failure or 2. belts (cause you know they wont get done till they break)

Not that funny of a story but it was hilarious to see him try and burn out

Let them buy their own cars - never did me any harm.

As for traffic light clowns, ignore them, an a**hole's opinion of me is not one I value.

Gotta tell yall about what I saw last week in Hickory. Company car was laid up for a day, so I had to drive the 951 (bummer, right). I get off at an exit ramp for gas and see a pyre of smoke on the other side of the rise on the on ramp. Curiosity getting the best of me, I had to see what caused the smoke- it was a totally riced out eclipse. The front end was fully in flames, fiberglass body kit was melting away, underbody lights and melted loose in the front and fallen to the pavement, tires exploded and rims sagging. State Trooper was present (car parked at a safe distance) and was there with the owner. This kid was a stereotypical ricer type, hat backwards, cocked and locked, pants sagging halfway down his @ss, more piercings than Carter has pills, bunches of tatoos. The kid was gesticulating wildly to the trooper, with full hip hop motions and booger flicks, as the car was burning. Trooper was standing calmly with clipboard and pen, filling out the report, watching the car burn. While I hate to see a car burn, this was no longer a car, but a fart-tipped ricemobile. As I drove past, I think I saw the cause for the fire, his Type R sticker had been mounted incorrectly causing a severe backpressure to develop from the fart-tip back, in turn resulting in a massive buildup of unspent horsepower not making it to the street. This is a known problem with ricers, fake Type R stickers are not strong enough to hold the power reliably, and can fail in a catastrophic manner resulting in a fire that starts at the tip of the Mega-hp cone air filter and proceeds to engulf the entire vehicle. Best was to avoid this is to insist on gen-u-whine muygen type R stickers.

Red Light Punk story just from last night ... as I was out for a leisurely motorbike ride

except in this case, the red light punk was over 30 and in a new vette.

He wants to race from a light... so I engaged the clutch slowly and then smoked his $50,000 car with my $5,000 bike in about 30 feet, then slowed down and enjoyed my win I wouldn't have bothered in the porsche , but this was too easy. <img src="graemlins/jumper.gif" border="0" alt="[jumper]" />
