Default Killed an early 90's Civic

I was in the left lane at a light about 100 yards before my turn in home. A white civic pulls up with fart can, etc. The next thing I know he's creeping foward, and revving up. WTF? Are you serious? What the hell, I'm not letting this moron in front of me, and haven't had any action in a long time. I revved up slightly to around 1300rpm (automatic) and when the light turned green I slowly pushed the pedal to 3/4 throttle. Civic spun a little, and fell behind. He then had to get behind me as he apparently lives in my neighborhood. Dumbass.

Oh yeah, the Corvette is down south undergoing surgery. (ProCharger Install)
I was driving home from work in my 1993, Bright Red, 250k mile Nissan 4banger pickup truck with a topper on the back. I guess my little red rocket is Fast and Furious material. Ricers...

Its amazing how many really slow vehicles will try and mess with ya when they see you in a muscle car. I think they just want to see us get on it cause surely they know they will lose.

I had a friend with a truck finally confess that he did it just to see a good car make a run of it...

When I drove my Acura I used to mess w/ fast cars all the time. I just liked seeing what they could do. No intention on an actual race.

Happened a few times in the 'vette, and always with the significant other in the car. Blood pressure goes thru the roof.
