I usually have issues with mini vans and pickup trucks.. when I come up to a red light the light turns green and they churp the tires and take off.
I was explaining to someone the other day .. a old guy in a Chrysler 300 hit a redlight with me .. took off spining his tires .. then hit another red light .. this time he did it again .. and again I just slowley left the light .. he hit a 3rd light in a row and this time I decided to accelerate a bit quicker ..  when he finally caught up to me he rolled down his window and was yelling like a mad man.. he said you were driving like a granny the whole was down the street and now all of a sudden you want to drive fast .. then began saying wooooo your car is soooo fast .. does daddy know your driving his car.. ha ha .. Now im 30 yrs old .. im married and its my car .. but I dont get it. I cant explain why ppl are so ignorant .... but I can tell you one thing either they are trying to see how quick the car reallty is .. or they actually think the car is slow and want to try and prove it to you. |
Amen brother!, Amen!.....Although I can't say that I've ever had someone test me like that. Nobody ever gives me hell with my Si. 1 person did, some kid in a 4th gen Cobra. I took off my Si and Civic badges and he couldn't figure out if it was an Si and stopped and asked me when we were at a light. Light turns green and he takes off like a mad man!. Yeah, like I'ma actually catch up to a Cobra. I did however hit Vtec after he took off and was a ways down the road and was surprised that I was moving pretty damn quickly comming up behind him. Eh, Gas is TOO high right now to do **** like that anyways.
