Default why be cocky

i was on my way back home from work and i was driving at normal speeds, i slowed for a stop sign and a 98 cobra drives next to me...no looks or anything. before it was our turn off the line he revs to about 6000rpm and i doubt this was a mistake. i look over and he still doesnt want to look, but i just got my SLP loudmouths in so i was feeling a little confident. i rev'd back, his stock system was weak and he got all upset and tried to pull me over probably to give me a knuckle sandwhich, but i was full and thought i would serve him because i didnt care, being i was like 75lbs heavier than this guy and like a foot taller. i had this guy saying sorry to me before getting back into my car. he drove away calmly and smoothly. and so i say, why be cocky. enjoy the competition, you win you give a thumbs up and drive away...why not do the same when you lose. i think that when you race be a good sport, specially if that car happens to be part of the herd.

+1 on the thumbs up and being a good sport, whether you win or lose.

i think the gayest thing you can do after a race ( that you loose ) is run away. if i ever loose a race ( which i will many times over again, i got a 68 stang, and thats if i ever race it, i doubt i will, i will jsut enjoy going fast ) i will stop at the next light and say, " damn dude, nice car, glad we raced, have a good life " then drive off. i hate it when people get competitive, especially for somthing as simple as street racing, why do you street race, cause its funa dn you enjoy the adreniline rush, enjoy it either way, dont be a B!itch if you loose. ight, there was my 2.cents

im all about sportsmanship. always give the thumbs up, always have a good attitude, no matter what the other guy is driving, or else its not really any fun. at a light, if i make eye contact or get a rev from a possible contestant, almost whatever car they're driving, i'll give them a thumbs up and say nice car, or something like that. always. a person racing will likely be proud of their car, and in the interest of sportsmanship, just ettiquite(sp?) even, always just be nice and stuff.



im all about respect. you give it, you get it.

what makes you think the guy was pulling you over? maybe he wanted you to pull over so he could find out what exhaust you had...

NOT to give you a 'knuckle sandwich?"[&:]
