Default Hell yea smoked a CAMRY!!!!!

I swear to god i'm a magnet for ******** in toyota camrys who want to race on the freeway... I don't understand it - I've had at least 5 of them provoke me into racing. And these aren't even the 2 door sport models whatever they're called...I'm talking the REAL THING...yes the 4-door family sedan!!!
I shouldn't even post this as a kill because its a camry BUT he wanted some so i had no choice. This was last night, the most recent camry kill. I admire this guy's persistence as i'm travelling west on rt 70 between frederick and hagerstown. I'm moving along at about 85 and i pass this camry in the slow lane who's doing about 65 or so...no more than 10 seconds later here's this ******* again. Passing me at about 95 or so. I'm thinking this guy is a retard he cannot be serious, but he keeps on passing me, slowing down, passing me, etc.
My girlfriend says "please be good" just as I'm dropping it into 3rd and mashing it, to which i replied "too late" as i quickly shot past the camry and kept going. I slowed down once i hit 130 back to like 85 again, of course i couldn't even count how many bus lengths i had on him.
Then this ******* comes up behind me again and hi-beams me just before he gets off the highway. WTF? Like he didn't expect me to smoke him or something? Well thats my sweet-*** camry kill OH YEAH!!!
Anybody else ever get f**ked with by much lesser cars all the time?

The new ones actually have power in v6 trim. He'd smoke the v6 equivalent of yourr car, which may be why he raced. Didn't realize you had a formula.

trucks I'll usually entertain, because fwiw most guys into performance that drive pickups, usually have a stout car in the garage. however ricers, forget about it. the worst around here are the 3.5 maximas. so many stories about those idiots.

my old friend had a 99 camry 4 banger and he always tried to run me. He was always dead serious too. Murdered him everytime then did a burnout just to **** him off. Good Kill.

When I first got my WS6, I took it on a road trip with my wife. Somewhere in Mass I got samwhiched between a Riced out civic and a 4dr Accord. Now it's like 2am and no one else is out....Just us three....so the wife looks at me and tells me that I could play for a minute....So I drop from 6th into 5th and just let her go.....Yeah I know, should have dropped to at least 4th, but they werent that fast.

By the time I let out(135ish) they werent even in my reaview anymore.....Was just a waste of fuel. I dont bother any more cause my exhaust usually scares them off....TD's are a blessing yet a curse at the same time.

I'm sure with like 280hp the new maximas/camrys/etc. gotta be able to go somewhat high speeds comfortably and be relatively quick around town. but otherwise, how you gonna even attempt to race someone seriously in excess of 100 mph. that car has to weigh well over 4200 lbs., it's a boat.. suffering a similar fate as cars such as stock SRT-8 (which I think still has trouble with a stock m6 ls1?)

provoked.. haha. Im beginning to think we're always looking for a reason....

I've had so many encounters where I felt like I had to (ex. Chevy HD2500, modded civics, an is300, a couple 350Z's, an 04' GTO, an integra)

that integra was actually pretty fast... we were both traveling thru traffic in excess of 110+ and he was keeping up with me.. someone mentioned he may have been the turbo integra in my area cause they were the same colors.. but I was kind of shocked and awed when i saw him staying with me.

OMG. I thought I was the only one. For some reason, guys in pick-up trucks always want a piece. I remember being at the lights in a lane that ends in about 1/8 mile, and this guy in a truck next me looks over shakes his head while mouthing "no no no" and starts revving his engine. Im thinking, you cant be serious. I Light turns green I pace him just to make him think that he had a chance to deny me.. then turned the heat up a bit at the last moment to get in. Fools....

Here I waste them whenever i get the chance, but i never provoke, POS imports are the name here and many don't realize how bad the little old lt1 can beat them. I think many don't realize how an fbody can lay the smack down.

I don't know what's going through their minds, but I lay waste to them every time.
