Default Honda Civics and Surgery

Does every kid w/ a Honda Civic think they have a chance of beating a mustang? I had some lil jackass ride up on me the other day and revhis civic up at a stoplight. It was maybe a 02 or 03 w/ the loud muffler thing the kids like these days. I thought this character was being cute until I realized that he pointed to the light and actually wanted to race me. The light turned green and I had to give it to him. Now I think I should have surgery on my foot since I broke it off in his a**.

They watchway too much Fast and Furious.
Really they believe stuff that people tell them and do sick "mods" like 4 in. exhaust on a 1.6L engine. Then go to the track with their modded civic and run low 16s.[&:]

I agree 100%. The only reason I even raced them is b/c my pregnant wife wanted some ice cream and Oreos. I don't think I want her pissed off at me for taking too long, lol.

Eh, it's a common thing. It's funny some of the things you'll catch these kids spitting out. Stuff about muscle cars being "old technology" yada yada yada. They are a special bunch. Just keep showing them your tail lights, thats the only way to show them the error of their ways.

I usually point at them and give them a thumbs down.

I had one in a civic last year in the staging lane start to say about "Why would you buy a Model T?" I said "Because I like the car and please don't insult me". he kept it up. Luckily i was matched against him, and I passed him 4 times in the 1/4. Made sure and swing by his pit and ask what kind of gas mileage he gets. LOLOLOLOLOL
