Raced a Mitsubishi Eclipse....

So I pull up to a stop light today, and notice there is a Eclipse next to me. I look over, and the guy starts reving his engine, HA it was all stock. So I kind of srug it off, and pay no attention until the light changes. I give him a lil bit of a head start, and then G'bye to him. I just dusted him. I thought it was hilarious. Well I thought I would share that with whoever cares.

Not surprised. People around here think that those litle jap-traps are the best thing. That;s till I open up a couple cans of whoop butt.

What's with so many people wanting to race on the streets these days, especially with stocks?

*waves fist at The Fast and the Furious*

I must admit, I'm glad I drive slow vehicles. Keeps me out of trouble.

I usually stop or help....not really skilled mechanically, but more than willing to let them call or give em a ride...especially the ladies. If its a really big guy and mean looking and a chevy I might be tempted to pass by.

I drive a slow vehicle ('95 F150 4.9L 5-speed with 3.08 rear) and had a ricer that wouldn't let me pass. I floored it and so did he, but in his cheapo S10 Extreme he could not pull away from me, even though he had the party-noise-maker mufflers and a "Ch**y Boys Drive Bad <*****> Toys sticker.

Well I'm not into racing on the streets at all. But if some I guess I could say punk wants to try something or act all cool, I'll let em have it.

Back when I was drivin' the ole '78 I could dust anything around, still can. Since I got my 350, I've been into torque more than anything anymore, not to mention the wreckless driving ticket and rise in insurance costs...
