Default Sprayed Civic hatch

Not really worth posting. I was dissappointed because I've seen some fast turbo Civics before this one however wasn't so impressive. Anyways to the story me and my friend with a white formula are cruising and come upon a black civic hatch mid 90s with a super tacky body kit had a little lip like wing over the back of the hatch. The windows were blacked out but someone had conviniently busted out the back window on the hatch and mounted the NOS bottles in an elevated position so the whole world could see them sticking up by the window. I thought that was interesting but the formula jumped up for a piece of it first. The civic saw him coming and floored it right before they got even the formula walked away like it was standing still then the civ went from civic speeds to stock mecury sable speeds and the formula kept walking. The formula hit the brakes then hit the gas messing with it until the civic gave up. then the formula took off and I pulled up I did the same thing except I didn't play around with the brakes and gas I just stuck down the throttle and left it where it was sitting. I switched lanes and called it a day. Again wouldn't have bothered him if it wasn't for the body kit and the constant revving oh and he had a nice 5 inch exhaust tip. Don't wanna leave that out.

That was a decent kill. I got few ricers like that around my house that bottles but thats all they have is jus the bottle, not even hooked up. They figure if you see the bottle, you won't race them, I guess he was wrong lol. Sometimes the bottle embarasses people more than it makes them look good.

No it was really sprayed. I was sitting back watching him run the first few bursts with the formula. Like I said though it went from civic speeds to sable speeds in seconds so while it was an increase I wasn't too impressed. I'm guessing a 50 or 75 shot. Who knows though I didn't bother asking him and he didn't come back to town he just kept driving away haven't seen him since.

Similar 2F 2F Civic was next to me at a light yesterday. The kid chirped his tires taking off, floored it, chirped 2nd and I was at 25% throttle (just driving like normal).
It took sooo long for that poor car to rev through 1st, I almost felt sorry for the kid.
Actually, I DID feel sorry for the kid and let him be.
