Thumbs down another retarded ricer in a Jetta

Driving on I45 South yesterday in the Corvette, and a black VW Jetta with black wheels and a fartpipe with a bunch of decals starts tailing me. I'm doing the speed limit. He pulls up next to me and keeps popping his blowoff valve. I just ignored him for about 2 miles. I thought his wee little blowoff valve whistle sounded kinda cute, like a baby sneezing.

But, he kept doing it, so I had to humiliate him. He didn't hear the blower until it was too late

After that, he did the usual ricer-fly by in the far right lane, and proceeded to weave thru traffic like the typical import moron. I suppose he was trying to prove his Jetta could out-handle a Z51 Corvette too. I didn't partake in further ignorance.

silly riced-out Jettas. What are those, 15 second cars stock? Maybe 14s with a turbo? lol.

I have to be honest, I was expecting and Diesel kill and I'm a little disappointed.

I guess the Vette is alright if you're into those kinds of things though.

yeah, I'd rather have dusted him in the Ram. It would have been more humiliating I suppose. It just cracks me up that he thought his turbo Jetta was bad enough to try and start a race with a Corvette that was obviously not stock looking or sounding.

The build quality is really poor on those things, just my input.

my Wife kept hearing his weenie blowoff valve, she didn't know what it was and asked if it was something playing on the song on the radio. Funny stuff. When I told her it was the Jetta next to us, she laughed.

Some of these guys that buy those cars just dont realize how slow they are. Its a harsh reality check when you finally show them.

Must have been a virus going around this weekend. I was heading down to the Oak Hill meet Saturday evening in the Blue Beast and a white Jetta with a fart can tried to mess with me.

The traffic was way too heavy to demonstrate some shock and awe on his stupid ***, so I just keep a constant cruising speed and let him keep going. As soon as he got ahead of me, I held up my right hand with thumb and forefinger extended at a 90* angle from each other, making a backwards "L" that would be a proper "L" when he looked in the rearview... letting him know I though he was a loser and not worth my time.

I just had 2 teenagers in a Dodge Stealth try to run me. He had a fartpipe, but otherwise sounded stock. I don't even think he was a turbo. He was in the other lane jumping trying to get me to race, I just shook my head. This was in traffic too! What a moron. First of all, I'm not about to risk losing my license (mandatory), getting my car impounded, and going to jail (mandatory), to race a mid 15 second car. I've got nothing to prove. Some people just don't know their places though. Why try to pick a race with a car that you have absoultely no chance against? It would be the equivilant of me trying to race a C6 Z06. Just makes no sense whatsoever.
