Messed With a VW Drivers Head
Messed With a VW Drivers Head It was kinda funny. Im at a light next to a lowered vw with rims. It actually looked alright. Anyways, the light changes he revs it up and pops the clutch and spins the tires bad. Im thinking he has got to be kiddin. So I pace him out of the hole keeping it even until about 30mph. I even gave him a fender so he would think he was winning. Then I floored it.
It was like the vw hit the brakes and lost 3-4 car lengths instantly. It was perfect cuz at 30mph the cam is in its powerband. Plus he was shifting into 2nd. So it made the jump that much more dramatic. I just thought it was funny and dont take it too seriously.

That's awesome. 
I did something similar to a guy in a Golf, except I was driving with my elbows in the air, pretending to jerk the wheel back & forth. I did that until around 50, then I hammered it. The guy & his friend were cool enough to laugh about it at the next light.

I was able to just drive like I normally do and keep up. It was like I hit the juice when I floored it. Cuz its really quiet until I floor it. At first all you hear was the vw then when I floored it all I could hear was my car.
I think he just wanted to hear my car. I do the same thing in my escort. It has no muffler and is loud as **** with this irritating tone. Sometimes while driving it I will see a nice car and want to hear it go. So I will throw a rev or hammer it from a light. Usually theyll laugh but sometimes they think its serious.

Awwww shoot escort powa~! It has the 1.9L EFI motor but its a station wagon. My favorite thing about the engine is that it is a non interference motor. Meaning it has all kinds of piston to valve clearance. When the timing belt broke nothing got hurt like bent valves or anything.

I had an encounter of the VW kind on the freeway a while back. I was cruising 75/80 and this golf(?) cruises up to me and starts jumping around likes it's on steroids or something. I noticed it had 1.8t badges, and I thought 'so what'. Anyways, traffic cleared up so I goosed it a little, and brokeswagon man took the bait. He takes off and I let him get about a car on me and I hammered it. I passed him like he was standing still and let off about 120. He comes up next to me and had that deer in the headlights look when he looked over at me. I just smiled back at him and went on my way.

I had the same thing happen to me awhile back but I wouldn't get on it because we were going from a 65mph zone to a 55mph double fine work zone so I just let him go. When he was acting like his car was badass I just laughed and thought WTF

had a similar experience, my bud has an 87 or 88 TA, anyway we were both stationed at Fort Campbell Kentucky. Going out to the club, and this guy in an Escort pulled up next to us at a red light. He gave that squirrell of a motor hell, and chirped tired, so he gooses the TA and leaves like he was standin still.....It was so funny cause that car ended up at the club we were going to and bounced at....Laughed them all night and they went home alone!!
