Default attack of the ricers

well today during my lunch break i had 2 ricers come up to me reving like a bunch of idiots.

first was a eagle talon turbo, so i saw him coming up beside me with no bumper on his car and a oversized intercooler sticking out. at first i thought that may be a quick car so he comes right beside me and instantly geared down and floored it this is at around 45 so i kinda figured he would and i was ready, i geared down to 2nd right after and we did a 45-90 pull and he was about 3 cars behind me, i thought that gave him the idea ,and it did he ricer flyby and turned off

second was a prelude 92-97 style.. so light turnes green and he flys by me bouncing off the rev limiter. at first i ignored him and about 2 seconds later i just wanted to beat him with my maglite. stupied high school idiot attitude.
he braked and then was beside me just cruzing and said nice v6. i laughed and said nice hot rod. he geared down to 1st at around 45 mph sounded like the engine was hurting lol. so the v6 compliment surprised me and i just wanted to shut the kid up. we hit at about 40 and i just layed into it we went to about 100 and it had to be a easy ten plus cars. it was cracking me up cause i could still hear his shifts over my loudmouth..lol

anyways that was my crazy lunch break

Ricers just make me laugh. I took my V to a manual car wash to hose off the ride, and some guy in a Honduh Hatch with rims was drying his car near the street. Some other multicolored green and pink Honduh Hatch saw his rival on his territory or something and decided it necessary to downshift and rev limit bounce his POS as he drove by. It seemed as though it took that car 10 minutes to get a block. I yelled out "Honda Power" as he drove off. The Honduh Hatch guy drying his car looked at me confused. LOL!

Don't feel to bad. I had a guy who "knows a lot about cars" say how amazing it is that my ws6 runs the same amount of power as the v8 models. All i could say is, "What?!" So he says, "Yeah this v6 has just as much power as the v8's do. I think they have horizontal valves or something..." And his uncle owns a performance shop. (no really he does) I guess automotive knowledge is NOT hereditary.

Default Taking car of a Civic for a Vette guy in my Grand Cherokee

Ok so i was just coming back from the store and i was crusing down the main road in town. I got stopped behind a NICE 06 C6. It looked all stock but you know still sexy. then the left lane was free so i was thinking bout swinging over to just get a better stare down at it. But just as i was getting ready to this ******* riced out civic beats me to it. He wasnt even stopped yet and he was on the rev limiter. I could tell it was a d16 with a ebay intake. But WAIT he had gauges....that werent even hooked up lol. So the light turns green and the civic does a bout 10 or so foot 1 wheel peel and then misses 2nd, The vette just drives like normal so i pass the vette and catch up to the civic at the next light. So i throw the old jeep into N and give him a rev (ALL STOCK) and the guy in the civic starts laughing. Which cracked me up cause he was missing some teeth. my jeep is AWD 5.2l so i pre load up to about 2400 thats right before it starts pushing itself. The light turns green and i let the civic jump out for a second and then i launched and just ripped past him. i shut down at about 75 and he was bout 8 or 9 cars behind me. Then the best part is the guy in the vette speeds up and gets beside me and gives me a thumbs up and yells THANKS I HATE THOSE ******* THINGS!!! haha so atleast i was able to help a fellow LS powerd friend in need, Sorry for the long story but i just thought it was fun....Oh and the guy in the civic flipped me off who would of known
