Default Dont you hate it when--

I was going down the road at 35 mph when this black mustange 2000 or newer came up behind me and starts riding my ***. I dont know what mods the kid had but when we came to a light i could hear that he had at lest some exhaust work. The light turns green and i figure its time to spank this kid who keeps on throwing the reves at me. So after the light goes green i floor it and he only a few car lengths behind. BUT BUY THE END OF 3RD GEAR HE HAS TO BE 15 CAR LENGTHS BEHIND ME. So i say to my self did the guy even try to race me or what. I hate that. i have had that happen more than once. has this ever happen to you guys???

No i can type fine. ITs the fact that im retarted <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> and can not spell and form sentences correctly. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Add that on top of the fact that i dont care that i look like a retard when i type, and you get my typical post that are hard to read and understand. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
Thats what ya get for only going to school to play football <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> . O well ....thanks for the concern and for pointing out to everone that i am retarted.. <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

What I hate worse is when some idiot in an import gets next to you and revs when your stuck behind a car in traffic and then turns before you can do anything about it. I guess all you can do is rev back at that point. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

in that situation i like to down shift and <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" /> the tires at 45 mph. That usualy gets the point across. I love the way that their faces look when you do that. Usualy they look over at their passanger with there mouth open.

i love our cars.... <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I love to see the face of the import driver's girlfriend when I beat them(it's almost a funny as when it happens when my girlfriend is driving). And I drive a truck! <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

I Had a guy the other day run a red light just so he wouldn't end up lined up next to me. He was coming to a stop at the intersection and then punched it. I am talking the cross traffic had already started moving and had to hit their brakes. I caught back up to him and he wouldn't engage. He did throw a rev my way but never brought it. It was a very nice looking WS6....probably had other stuff going on....who knows.

I also like it when you actualy get to race an import and then after stomping them and pull over to talk they say stuf like well i got my super turbo 9000bxz1 kit comming soon. Then ill kill your car.. They make me laught so hard. Funny how that turbo kit never seems to make its way on to the car.

We actually had a dry day here last week. I took my SS out to run some errands. I pull up to a 2-lane, Left turn lane. Some import pulls up behind and to my left. It was clean, no stickers and no parkbench wing.

We make the turn and I let him catch up to me. He takes off(I think, not really sure at this point)...then yes...I hear the unmistakable sound of a Fartcan. I hammer it down at about 35mph, spin the F1's a bit and FLY past him. I put about 5 quick cars on him and slowed down. He stayed back and I never got a fly-by. We were coming up to another light with no traffic. I needed to turn and thought about laying the smack down again but figured it wasn't worth the gas.
