Default Damn that Ricer Flyby....

So last night I was on my way home from the movies w/ the wife. Pulling out of a parking garage some punk was riding my *** on the way out... Then, he flips through the isle right infront of me... I'm all like WTF? So I jump on it and slide around the corner, feather it a little, and am ALL OVER his ***... Go figure Cobalt SS. Paybacks a bitch right, but at this point the ole lady is already trying to rip the handle of the door... ANYWAY... we pull out of the garage, through the lot, and onto the main road, I am going in one direction, him in another.

About half a mile down the road, I catch some headlights coming up fairly quick... so I move over, and kept my speed the same, probably 60ish in a 55. I am in NO hurry at lush rush... No sooner do I move over, than the car behind me drops the hammer, and goes flying by... At this time I realize its the DUMBFUCK from the garage. By the time I get the chance to put 2 and 2 together, he is already almost a half a block ahead, and doing probably 90+. So I inturn drop the hammer. I start shutting down his pull, when the wifey was all tripping out for me to slow down... Let out at about 120ish, and only about 3 cars back.

I would have easily caught him, as I was pulling him harder and harder... But since I had to shut down because of the wife, couldnt kill it... Hell I dont have to sleep with him.

Do ricer flybys count as losses? Probably on his forum. Karma is funny sometimes. Irony anyone?

That's funny right there.
I hate the flybys I don't even bother, and when they slow down and get next to you looking over like you should be impressed with their display of horsepower....that's when i don't even look over to acknowledge them or worse roll my tinted window on that side up

a friend of mine thinks his turbo rx7 was great,always tells this story about when he raced an altima or maxima-whatever.

my gf loves it when i run with someone.you can tell it gets her heart racing,but she just hangs on for the ride,then afterwards she always has something to say with a big grin on her face like shes excited-haha

I agree. If you're going to give chase, you better expect to punch it all the way through. Nice try, though.

I DID expect to run it all the way thru.. the road is a nice strech where on turn offs, woods on both sides, straight, all the makings of a good high speed run. But like I said, she was pretty freaked. I am still giving her **** about it in a way, like well that settles it, now I know your RXs were SLOW!

Too bad you couldn't take care of the garbage, but I wouldn't dream of racing with the wife in the car or I'd be living out of it. Oh one more thing make sure you tighten the screws in that door handle for her, would want the panel to end up in your face.

I always just wait for the flyby...I wait...and wait...then just as you see them coming up to pass you. Floor it and bust their *** again. Its hilarious!! Dont even let them do their little flyby. They'll turn off like a dog with its tail between its legs!!

Ever notice that when you race ricers, they get thier A$$ handed to them? But when you slow down after you pull three lengths, theyre still going at WOT!?!?!?!?!!?! Then they drive by you like an idiot smiling, thiking they won! Its the ricer syndrome. They think that if they pass you at some point, they won. Subaru's and Evos's dont count. But its always they guys in the Cobalt SS, Civic hatchback, Integra, and Redline that thinks he has to "pass" you to become a man. Like his Huevos arent gonna grow until he passes you as you slow down! Lemme know if you feel me somebody!

Yep that's very true... I hate it when they do it... but I would Include Evos in that club...cause they've done it to me after I clearly slamed on the brakes... he needed to feel better about the $40K+ he just waisted on a Lunch Box... (it was modded)... other then that...only ever raced "real" racers...who know when they are beaten...

I wouldn't include a certain car, there are ricers in every group. Take you for example, my clear tail lights came stock, whats you're excuse...
