Rice
Hey I'm knew here but I'mjust sickof the ricers and need to share my anger</P>
My friend and I are driving home late last night on a slow 30mph road and all of a sudden headlights are coming up fast in my rearview mirror. In fact he gets close enough to me to call it "riding my ***" and anyway I notice it's an older eclipse. Now I expect this from idiots when I'm driving my Si, but not a Mustang. I come to a 4 way stop to turn right and he's still 2 feet off me and as I turn he follows right through behind me. So I ignored the moron and started talking to my friend when I notice the headlights swing out and he's passing me? in a 35 mph zone... ?So he's passing me at his flat outand I see his buddy looking over at me with the look of "wow we're beating a GT" so I drop into secondand let the V8 roarand pull to his window and look atthem as if to say"what the hell are you doing?" Anyway he keepsaccelerating so Ijust back off as it's getting a little fast for theparticular road.And he just pulls in front of meso I can see his euro lights (+50hp) and keeps going to completehis "Ricer flyby"We ended up following him for the next few miles but at every light he turned, I'm guessing not wanting to side up? then he turned into a sub to go hide...I sooooo wanted to put him in his place too <IMG src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">and I never race. It angers me more because I know he's saying "I beat a GT!" because I backed off.</P>
Why dothey bother? I haven't ever had any encounters in my Civic, but why do they want something whenit's a Mustang when theyWILL get smoked</P>
Well if you hadn't dropped into 2nd and then backed off, he could only claim that he passed a Mustang. But he has a legit kill because you gave it a go, then chickened out.
I'm not saying I condone street racing, but you did take the bait and then he ran away.
