Haha! I rev at a lot of stuff, but in just a messing around way. I am proud of my car and I work very hard to pay for it so some attention isn't bad once in a while. I especially like to rev at people on the side of the road and scare them. Sometimes i'll rev at an awesome car just to hear what it sounds like.

I had 3 dudes in a focus ask "man that sounds good, what do you have in her?" dumb question, but it still makes me feel good when people show intrest in my car, thats why i work so hard on it.

I also like to Rev at stuff. mainly ricers when there window is about even with the exit of my exhaust. then when they pull up beside me at a light and "bump" there system I simply turn up my stereo and drown them out. it really pisses these guys off that my car is not only nicer & faster, but i have a better, "more bumpin" stereo system as well. they just cant win...

I will throw revs at any f-body I pass to say Hey. As well as the mustang guys. I got Piped by a GTO the other day and if I was not sitting at a red light with my windows down I never would have heard him lol. He still had the sticker in the window. All I heard was the belts turning on his motor cause the exhaust was so quiet. I Smiled and gave him a nod.

These ricer ***** who like to run up on your *** really **** me off. I will slam on the brakes when they do that **** but not enough for them to hit me. Its more fun to embarrass them by nailing it and smokin the tires off at 30mph just before they hit me those guys!

Even worse than 'what's that got in it?' (read my plate - duh) is 'are those fast?'. Well, faster than what? My saturn is faster than me on foot. The GTO beats a whole lot of cars out there - but there's a lot of cars faster than it also.
Oh, and as far as the GTO being quiet - I've had a number of real 'car' people tell me they can't believe the exhaust is stock. It's not crazy loud or anything - but it's supposedly as loud as the government allows a stock car to be. And that will be all fixed once I get married and can spend the money on the long tubes...

No, Im 21 and enjoying the single life. I was just tryin to give Dan a little scare. But I do have this friend with a bad *** '68 Chevelle that pretty much sat in the grage after being married. she was a bitch though, she sayed he loved that car more then he loved her, so she grounded him from it. LOL om the other hand, i work with this woman whos husband has a street driven 9sec '71 Nova. She stands by his side and supports him along the way, so i guess it works both ways.
congrats on your up coming marrage!

I totally agree with this subject there are tons of people here with nice cars and when they see someone pulled over by a cop on the side of the highway they put it in neutral and rev the engine its like they are taunting the cops or making fun of the other person because "you got pulled over and I didn't" i mean no wonder cops and some of the general public don't like people like us is because of dumbass' like them that give us a bad image i mean if you really think about it you never hear about any major bad things happening near car shows or race tracks but people give us a bad image like that and they dont deserve to drive a car like that.

Yes - although some money will go to fixing up my car and some money will go to buying her a chevy II nova to fix up. Can't argue with that too much
