Re: Yeah... that ruined it

These guys are right, people will try to race you no matter what kind of car your driving. When i had my rs i would rev on some cars that i knew would kick my ass just because i wanted to see what they could do, definatly not because i wanted to try and show them up. If i wanted to that i would have gotten something faster....oh wait i just bought a hemi, hehe. Stick with the dsm.

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

I have the same problem. There's a huge street racing scene here, so there's tons of ricers than too. I'll get people pulling up to me and looking like a hardass, just start revving the hell out of their car. I look over, and just start laughing. When the light turns green, they take off, and I just let em go. It's not worth it.

There are some times though when it is. If you know you can take them, and you're in the mood, go for it. As long as I know we can keep up, then it's all good.

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

too many parents let their kids watch FAF1 and 2. i think its just kids. It's also better for those ricers, because if they rev at you and their engine blows, just point and laugh.

That's great. That dumbass got what he deserved. The tree did the world a favor by smashing that P.O.S., there are way too many Cavalier ricer cock lickers around.

and I have a Cavalier....

You guys should see that damn forum. Every other fuckin noob wants to drop in a 350 or a 3800, twin turbo it, and convert it to AWD/RWD. One guy was like, "Hey I just bought my friends td05 turbo for $50! Now how do I put it on?" Ambition is one thing, but being downright crazy/retarded is another and from what I have seen around here and on the forum, Cavalier owners and mental institutions go hand in hand. No offense to anyone with a cavy or one of the few guys in the cavy forum that know what they are talking about, but the majority of Cavalier guys I have seen have been watching too much F&F and have been doing too many drugs.

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

hehe. Atleast when I drive my eclipse around aside from the exhaust most people don't really know what it is. I don't have much of a problem with people racing me, except here and there.

But when I drive the Cobra. . . it's like every idiot sees the cobra on the back and wants to give it a go. I never waste my time racing civics or even m3's. Since I have had it, I haven't had anything to really race. Nowww if a corvette or a porsche pulled up. . . I'd give it my all

haha. if a 420a is beating him a contour svt, he must be a pretty crappy driver. There is a petty significant hp difference there. haha. but a contour is a piece of shit anyway.

There's a kid like the one with the cavalier in my town also. Parents bought him a jeep.. he "didn't like it", so they sold it and bought him a new Mazda 3 instead. He was always showing off and putting down my honda (which I don't pretend is fast), but he shut up pretty quick when he tried to walk me on the highway and I not only stayed with him but outdrove him (note I said outDROVE, his car SHOULD beat a civic). Anyways, he ended up selling that and buying (or I should say parents bought) a 02 BMW 325xi and continues to think he is badass.

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

His parents got him a BMW!? Damn it.. I could never ask my parents to buy me anything with more than a $5 value. If anything, I owe THEM a car.

There's this really ugly Cavalier driving around my city, full kit but no spoiler, ricer tail lights and the flatest orange paint job I have ever seen.. I think the guy lives on a main street, so if I ever see the car parked out front, I will definately snap a photo of it. I might even possibly include a picture of me laughing at it like laughatrice.com, except it would be laugh at.. ..wheat?
