Default LOL @ this guy...

As I was driving home tonight, this gut in an Accord(that's right, a ******* Accord) kept eyeing me and gave it a little gas. So I gave a little gas to show him what's up. Then this dude straight up floors it, so I go about 3/4 throttle till I put bout 2 lengths on him, then he does it again...with the same result. I slowed down to let him get next to me and gave him a big thumbs down. I know it isn't much, but fwiw this is my first kill in my 98 T/A(just got it).

Well, if he was in an accord you should have pulled more than 2 cars on him... And as long as you were truly giving him a thumbs up than good first kill, but it sounds like you are talking some **** about him so I cant tell if you are being serious about the thumbs up. Hopefully were being genuien.

I coulda pulled 10 cars if I wanted to, but it was just an older guy that wanted to have a little fun. Plus, this was in a 45 mph zone, and Va is tough on racing. Like, if I get caught my car is GONE, no questions. The thumbs down was prolly a little too much on my part, but he prolly couldnt even see it cause it was dark and raining. I don't particularly like racing/driving fast in the rain anyhow, cause I have no TCS and they guy I bought the car from had shitty All-seasons on the back, Yoko AS430's(high performance my ***.).

Next time, just drive normally. You may still be able to win.

BTW nice '71 and '98 up there.

My first run down the track was against a turbo Accord. Had a T-25. Claimed 320 at the wheels. My detonation prone at the time DSM owned that POS by almost a full second on my sweet newbie 2.1 60'.

I have just about 0 respect for Accords as performance cars. Hondas are about power to weight and gearing. How the heck do they reconsile that with a relatively heavy car with conservative gearing and a relatively low redline?

Nice kill, but dont bother talking trash or wasting the gas.
