Default Oh geez

Alright, so I need to take my sister to buy a case for her phone before she ends up jacking it all up. On the way there, I hit a light and an early 1990's 300Zx is next to me. I take off a bit fast but far from WOT, I reach maybe 2500 RPM's and shift, my car only has a cutout, so it doesnt sound that loud. Well, apparently this moron thought I was racing and stomps on the gas, I hear him take off but I thought nothing of it. Ha, next light, he rolls down his window and says, " Nice try, maybe next time "... When in the turqouise blue hell did this turn into a race ?!! I looked at him with one of those looks of shock. So I kind of laugh it off and nod my head, this time I told me sister, " hang on " . I throw him a rev but nothing big, just to let him know I want to go. I let him get the jump before I leave him by buses. Once I go WOT, he almost went nuts. I ripped through 2nd, and was about to put third when I have maybe 2 buses, I really didnt need to pop 3rd. This is not a busy street but the speed limit is maybe 65(lol, I should know) and I was going maybe 50 letting him catch up, but he would have none of it. Stayed back maybe 5 cars and eventually turned into some little alley. This is only my 2nd kill in my car and Ive had it for over 2 months. Not much action here, but I have to keep the little imports in check.

What a pretentious *****. You should've repeatedly slowed down next to him and repeatedly took off in 2nd, then said "better luck the next ten times", what a ricer.

Heh. Reminds me of when I beat a Celica GT just shifting at 3K. He didn't pull ahead of me until I shifted into 6th at 65. Some people just don't have a clue.

I dont think he was very proud of the kill, just the fact that the dumbass ricer thought he was really racing and then got

Somebody is a little edgy.
That was back when I practiced my 60' times at every stop light (hence the shifting at 3K). Nice try though, tough guy.

I just don't understand why people race slow *** cars, when they of course know they are going to win. I swear every kill I read is like, " I killed a Geo Metro, stupid ricer. The I destroyed a stock *** Civic by 60 buses, stupid ricer." I mean seriously, does anybody run cars there own speed. Of course we know you big *** domestics can destory stock Civics, whoo-hooo. Who cares if he was being a dousche, that is like me running a stock Z28. Whats the point. Sorry if I came off hard, I just come here to read kills and all I see is stuff like this.

"Have to keep the little imports in check." Race a real import. Not a 180 hp 300ZX.

Well, I wasn't racing him. I took off normal (for me) and then all of a sudden he flew past me when I shifted into 6th. A lot of the people who post those types of kills usually are just putting that person in their place because the "ricer" instigated the race. It isn't so much killing a slow car, but destroying the ego of someone who doesn't know crap about cars.

The 300zx started it and therefore deserved what he got.
