Default Funny waste of Gas.

Dear god, ricers are dumb.. I'm talking cutting springs electric supercharger and calling your alternator a turbo dumb.

Most ricers won't race me being I cheat and have a v8 or i'm gay dumbestik whos got no top end.

Not today I found an odd case, the story will explain it better.

I'm going from my one campus to another for my other classes, now I normally get a 2 min highway blast that should be like 5min drive .

Not today though, its amazing weather for oct. T-tops off windows down i'm just driving the speed limit if not a little under as i'm trying to find some music to cruise too.

Out of the corner of my eye I see a ugly thing closing on me in the other lane, I think nothing of it and return to enjoying my drive and cursing myself for not having my CDs in my car.

Said ugly car zipps to my side in the other lane, its a XB yes a Scion a car made of lose and fail.. not that i'm biased

Hes dead even with me zipping up a few inches and sliding back, I asume hes just checking my ride out. I think nothing of it as I also love to drive near a cool car, forgive my cockyness but a 87 Justy is way cooler then an XB. So in this case I'll call my Camaro cool.

Then it happened. I hear a "eeep" I can't figure what it was till it clicked he honked to me. I look over and hear a 2nd beep..... Dear god he wants to run ME? FROM A ROLL? I was like wow.... still I stuffed the T-56 into 3rd at about 50 ish. The roar of the LS1 is angry, but ever so happy as it rarley streches it's legs other then a fast WOT blast.

3rd honk.. I start pulling instantly hard. Very hard. Stupid hard even. I wind out 3rd all the way till my shift light gives me a "stop it dumbass" warning. It feels awesome to hit 100 with no top I asure you.

I then take my exit and the XB just FLYS past me being its a exit you have to slow a good deal for. I don't think he had still hit 80 even...

Then I hung out with a friend and told him the story and he unlazyed me to post it up.

I know this is a bit shorter then most of my posts but this one well i just put a massive hurting on him, I guess he was stock. It was ugly but so funny I had to share.

Sure he might have just wanted to see me go but to beep like that wtf. Beeping is the "code" I guess it could be called. and he was lining up to me and tryed to keep up so I dunno.. I might have bumped into possibly the dumbest human ever


PS, I edited out the Honda tech jokes, as it's also posted there.. just incase anyone also is there. This is my thread no E-theft

Contrary to popular belief, a dinky little 4cyl spinning 7k doesnt keep up its awesome efficiency.

Maybe he's been watching too many of those Scion commercials where the xb transforms into difference versions of it with aftermarket wheels and body kits and he thought his would transform into something fast.

you said it best...waste of gas. If he had followed you i would have told him you were not racing, just trying to get away before some of that ugly splashed onto your car.

My friend had one of these hideous things and we were at a party and he had left it somewhere else and long story short I ended up going to pick it up for him....But not before he warned me that it was a Stage 3 and asked if i could handle it. I laughed and reminded him what I drive. He thought i could probably be ok then. Well I pick this thing up, first of all the short shifter is so short and the seats are so tall that you have to lean over to the side to reach down to the shifter. But anyways, so I leave and decide to figure out what this Stage 3 thing meant, I guess it meant it had a short shifter and different taillights because this thing was slloooooowwww. From the light i punched it up to the redline, into second, up to the redline, into third up to the redline...look down to see how fast im going and i **** you not i was only up to like 45 miles an hour, it was pitiful. lol, oh yea, and his horn made the "arroouga" noise. I laughed and told him i could start in 3rd and beat him any day of the week.
