Default Tyler Texas

So, the other day on the way to my mom's for thanksgiving I was driving through Tyler Texas...Is anyone here from there, been there? Well, we drove through at like 11 pm, and every jackass in his mom's ratted out camry wants to race me and I've got my wife and 2 year old asleep in the car...THEN I pull up next to an EVO VIII and think oh great, I'm dead meat...so I accelerate like normal, and wouldn't you know the only other sane person in town is the only other one actually driving a fast car that night...he didn't push at all, because he knew I wasn't pushing...
not the first time I've had this problem, not just in Tyler but in many other towns (including a 98 stratus that spun it's wheels when I pulled up next to it at a redlight in my srt-6)....that's why I like the idea of a sleeper

With my tires, I usually just roll out and hit it in first and beast anybody. But with my sawblades I can't do that, 'cause I'll sideswipe somebody.

Ya i dont like racing from lights either, it just seems a little hard on your car to dump it, just to beat some idiot in a 4 banger. They way i look at it there the ones trying to prove they got a fast car, we already have one. But occasionally, u just got to put them in there place.

I cant let anyone rev at me and get away with it. Cause we all know that they will go on their forums Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and say how they smoked a Mustang GT. Me personally cannot stand the thought of it so i have to shut them all down.[sm=gears.gif]
