Maybe it had nothing to do with you and he just wanted to stomp on his car and hear his exhaust roar since it was nice out.

I usually don't get people trying to race me, but every time I go to Manhattan Beach it seems there is somebody trying to race/showoff. First it was two crappy Camaro's, then an old pickup with an 8 that kept getting beside me and accelerating (my wife and I just sat there and laughed). The other night it was an old muscle car that looked like they just came from the track. It looked like an old Charger, but idk because it was dark and I have bad vision. Anyway, this guy was getting beside me and accelerating trying to get me to bite. I was pissed because I had my wife and her sister in the car with me and she'd go freakin' crazy if I even thought about racing. Hopefully I'll catch that guy when I'm alone and smoke his ***.

I've work with a fellow nurse who has a Hyundai Tiburon who is always wanting to race......her car is even equipped with "racing" tires ~ ! (her low profiles
)
I have to remind her daily that I am too fearful of being takenout by her import vehicle, and it would greatly hurt my pride.....therefore I refrain.

And 'Sleep Deprived' - Never seen you before, but damn that is a sexy car. And I despise maroon colors. But that car pulls it off nicely. Again, very nice ride.

I get it from ricers and b-mers and beater V-8's...very rarely do any newer camaros, vettes or stangs around here play that much...I talk to allot of them at lights and we usually appreciate each others vehicles...
