Default Intimidation kill? Eclipse with "NOT U" Plate

Yesterday, while talkin' on my earpiece microphone at a stoplight, I'm next to a new Eclipse with plates reading "NOT U". I'm talkin' to my friend, when I notice he purges his spray to catch my attention... I look over and smile, acknowledging his purge.

We get on the Turnpike and a few miles down the road, I pull up to "NOT U" guy (who's A pillar is full of gauges), while goin' 70mph, while in 4th to see if he'll go.

He motions for me to go, and I notice he has no intent on punchin' it. I then realize he's motioning for me to pass him without intent of runnin'. I'm like ? I aks him "you wanna run?" and he keeps gesturing, for me to go on.

I did a 3rd gear punch for show and then waited for him to come along, but still, no go. Guess the looks of my stupid 5" Monster Tach killed him.
I don't understand.

Nice, I burried an Eclipse last night, which made me happy because people were talking about how fast they are. Then though I recieved a death from a Integra, I knew it would happen one day. On the high way we went and he hit his nitrous and his turbo hit in and he took off like a bat out of hell, put two cars on me, then I started catching him as he shifted I believe, but then he quit racing both times we did. My car is stock though, give me time.

Tegs with big turbos are no joke. I ran one a while back that gave me a tough time. We were dead even.

As for the Eclipse kid, I was left baffled, 'cuase why would he purge in the first place to call my attention? As someone stated above, yeah, who knows, maybe his bottle was running really low.

Seems to me it's only a matter of time (what with
Half Assed, Bi Curious now on cable) before someone
starts selling fake purge kits... like a can of Freon 134
and a solenoid valve. Hey, if they'll buy a wing they'll
buy anything.

Hmmm....

Maybe that wasnt a purge ... and he just "blew the welds off the intake" (oohhhhh siittttt) and was afraid his floor panel may fall off if he floored it and shifted 60 times while hitting the little red button ... ya never know with the NAWWSSSS. (I watched 2 slow 2 gay today)

Your quotes were from the first one, not the sequel.

Yeah I know .... but those quotes fit the topic a little better. Watching the second movie reminded me of the just as stupid first movie.

I think I'd rather have my nuts set on fire and put out with a sledgehammer than ever watch either of those two ***-ramming flicks.

I am not sure if I would make it known that I new which movie the quotes came from. People might start to wonder. You could be a secret agent for the ricer community.

Well, the second one was really torturous to sit through, but the first one I thought was actually quite good. I mean, it is one of the best comedies I have ever seen.
