Default Not The Right Time

The one thing I hate is when someone wants to race when it isn't the right time. Example: Last night 1 am, on 275 by the Tri-County Mall( The biggest speed trap around Cincy), Wet roads and a no challenge car. So anyways, MMOB and a dude in a Civic pulls up and wants to race. His car sounded weird and I noticed he didn't have a fart can for an exhaust. It looked like a turbo set up kinda like the one on the STS GTO set up?? Not sure. I swear the guy tried to race me for 5 min. I just had no intentions of racing. Whenever I want to race someone I give them a few jumps or revs, then with no response I leave them be. It just seems the Civic crew want to race anything ,I guess they have to justify spending so much money in a cheap car. I know GTO owners are talked about in this way in Supra, Viper, etc....Forums but it seems Civic just have ego problems. ............I guess the can has been opened with this thread.

Yeah, I know what you mean. When it's nice and dry and no cops around...I never get challenged. One night, I was out in the T/A and it was raining and it was a small street with several other cars and this dude wants to race. I didn't rev and slowed waaaay down so he could pass me. He didn't. I even turned to get away from him and the ******* follows me!! WTF...take a hint.

I would not race around Tri-County Mall either! Don't care what time it was. Not worth all the trouble if you get caught. I'd rather go to Tri-State and race leagally!
