i guy at work is always bugging me with his hemi dodge. i just tell him yes 200.00 and i pick where. then i point to a mound of dirt across the street that is about 40 feet tall and about 45 degree angle. he shuts up for a couple weeks then tries again. dodge

story of my life, this kid just loves to attempt to make fun of whatever im driveing, because daddy dropped 20 grand on a chevy for him with a loud exsaust, but its ok
cuz every time i hear it from him i just kindly asked who has hydrolocked their truck in 2 feet of water, and the fact that my mini truck is tougher, older and 1% the cost of his peice

or the local bmx guys(which im one of) telling me to burn rubber in my moms jeep, 4 cylinder jeep, all i say is it doesnt burn rubber, it throws mud, just the way i like it!

 

[northerncountry]

Yeah I hear you guys. When I am in my ranger I get smucks comming up to me all the time but jump in the stang it is a differnt story btw it's an 05 gt with some mods LOL just rev it up and laugh. gotta love it. as for racing I go to the speed limit as it is stated their is no rule as how fast you can get to the speed limit. LOL then they do the ricer fly by LOL

Some guy in a Nissan Quest minivan tried to race me the other night... I fendered him for a while and then opened the secondaries. At the next light he was laughing that I needed the "NAWZ" to beat him...

I can't afford to drive like an idiot anymore.

I will admit, I've driven my Ranger like a total madman before, but I'm getting a little older and more mature. I find that all that is just a waste of gas, puts unneeded stress on components, and can get you in trouble. Trouble, such as a ticket, can cost you even more.

Gas, parts, and tickets cost money.

...well i get my rocks off in 4LOW going up a big ass hill in the middle of the woods and the damn thing is so steep you cant see the ground in front of you or even your hood for that matter!!

Tell them you're willing to race...... UP the big ass hill !!!!! See if you get any takers.

gotta love it. as for racing I go to the speed limit as it is stated their is no rule as how fast you can get to the speed limit.

in cali that is a racing ticket, and possible exacabition of speed. if you are next to some one.

I've got one... where I work we service quite a few wheelchair vans (e350 bus looking things with dual rear wheels and 5.4 tritons) Had to road test one for a shifting issue under acceleration. Pull up next to this kid in a little mitsubishi, He's revving the thing and keeps looking at me. I rev up the 5.4 a little and then the light turns green I floor it and I'm gone. Next light the little bastard was all red faced because he just had his ass handed to him by a bus. It turned out that it didn't have any shifting issues by the way.

hah im drivin a 93 lincoln towncar with a v8 in it.
im 16 and im in to the go fast but not to fast.
i just like to do burnouts and donuts cuz after one of my burnouts
no one will race me and its slammed in the back cuz the air bladder has a whole in the back just makes it that much easier to spin the tires.

I'll admit to being young and kinda stupid and up for racing at the drop of a hat.... But then again I was in high school when the last and the curious... err I mean Fast and the Furious came out. I watched as all of the rich kids (and there was quite a few of them) turned in their luxury vehicles for civics... Then bragged about how much money they dumped into them... the local speed shop was robbing them blind... $10k (if you can believe the kids) got you a "kickin" stereo, fart-pipe exhaust, cold air intake, wing, altezzas and rims with rubberband tires. Then they all thought they were all hard...

Totally disgusted with the whole thing I soon discovered that I had the knack of timing the lights I traveled through most just right, and as soon as it went green had the go pedal on the floor.... Plus had no problem beating the lil civics, much to their dismay. Oh, yea, they really got upset when I finally put some subs in my truck... stock head unit and speakers, pair of RF 12" punch Z subs, 200 watt x1 rms RF amp, and ran 4 gauge wiring. Total cost for my system? About $400. Oh, yea, I was louder and clearer than the majority of the others.....

Anymore though I just have fun giving the ricers a hard time once in awhile. Like revving up at a light an watch them rocket off like a moron while I point and laugh.

Although I did give one idiot more of a hard time not too long ago... he passed me in a no passing zone and proceeded to slow down an match my speed just a lil bit off my front bumper after passing me. Ran the clutch in, dropped a gear, revved it up some an watched him decide to take off... dumped the clutch an floored it on the back road and you could tell he was trying hard to get away from that frickin truck in his rearview. The hot girl in his passenger seat seemed to get a lil excited that this truck wasn't falling behind in the distance so I assume he told her that he'd floor it an loose me.... sorry, not gonna happen in a mainly stock civic if I want to keep up. When we got to the end of the road and were turning onto a main road I jumped on it but got off it when I got up to about the speed limit and proceeded to watch him panic and nearly rear-end the car in front of him. I was laughing so hard I had to pull over.... Probably wasn't the best thing to do looking back, but I was having a bad day and needed a laugh.

Some years ago I had some doofus like that in a little lowered Civic with the typical fart can exhaust zoom past me weaving in & out of traffic, driving like a complete total @$$hole. We came up to the next light alongside each other and he starts looking at me & revving his engine. I happened to look off to my left (he's on my right), then I looked back and revved mine a little (bone stock 4.0L). Light changes green and he takes off like a shot, tires squealing, fart cannon screaming.
It was great! The cop that was to my left at the intersection quickly pulled his little ricer ass over

 

[ckblum]

I LOVE IT!! Haha cool stories man. I can't wait to get my new engine in and put headers on it (don't give me the header rant please, I know you think they do nothing) and a Magnaflow cat.

I actually had a situation happen to me but in total reverse. Me and my friend went into the next city (I live in a tiny town, this one is an actual city) to get some motorcycle stuff, we had to drive my Mom's old man champagne coloured Accord (it's not old man colour it's DESERT STORM). Anyways we stop at a red light and this dude in a red ranger is sitting beside us looking all cool with his gf, truck is sitting on 31's A/T's but other than that it looked stock. Me and my friend had our Techno/Electronic music pumping cause the Accord has a good system stock and we are Euro trash techno geeks. I sat there and put it in neutral (auto tranny) and revved it a bit, when the light turned green he floors it and chirps his tires and I hear him grind into 2nd gear. Earlier down the road he gave us the finger for some reason, so I guess he really had something to prove at that red light, I guess he had to prove to us he couldn't drive a stick.

 

[matt32]

well we were sittin at the light and he pulls up next to us in the other lane, revvin the piss outa his engine. now the only thing i could gather from his car is that he had a cone filter and a fart can. he looks over at me, still revving the thing and i look at my mom and her words exactly "go ahead, you got this." light turns green boom we're gone. and we could tell that he was trying to race me too. get up to the next light about a 1/2 mile away he pulls up looking straight ahead and the car was quiet lol. people in the other turning lane were giving me thumbs up and waving. i love it.

Ha! I love stories like these, cuz it puts reality back in these "street racing" kids heads I have similiar stories like that from when i was in high school, we would all go downtown to cruise this one street...and of course it attracted all the ricers. But we would have guys come down with their Cummins and Powerstrokes and completely whip the sh** out of those posers. I cant afford to use gas to do that anymore...god i miss those days
