Well, according to him.

This happens to me every time, everytime I race someone from a light and let them decide if we're gonna go, I hold first gear until I hear them accellerate and I persue after them.

Well, I'm not going to do that anymore.

About a week ago I ran into a Toyota Matrix with a fart can, wheels and a ton of stickers on the front fender. Anyways, I pulled up besides him at a light, looked over at my passenger and said "Wonder if he wants to go?" Light turned green, we both accellerated normally and he finally floored it in 1st, I reacted quickly and proceeded to put bus lengths and bus lengths on this modified family wagon. We rolled up to another set of lights, I rolled down my window and said to the passenger of the Matrix "This is fun eh?". I looked over at my passenger and said "This time, I'll let them wind out first gear before I floor it and pass them". Light turns green and the Matrix takes right off, I gave a half a second or so (he had about half a car on me) before I took off, by the time I was redlining 2nd gear I had already reached his front bumper, got into 3rd and just continued to blow right by. Then I looked over at my passenger and said "Watch, in 2 weeks I'll hear about how I got absolutely spanked by a Matrix, twice!!" and that was the end of the conversation...

Anyways, I got my 4.30's installed this last Friday and took one of my friends for a ride Saturday afternoon. While showing him how nasty 4.30's are, he brings up hearing about this Matrix that stayed at my door when we raced? I said, "Oh ya? That's funny, I told someone that is exactly what I'd hear a week later..." LOL

It reminds me of the time I was behind someone on a one lane road, some kids were in a Jeep infront of me, slowing down and accellerating over and over again. I just sat back and watched and wondered WTF was going on. Anyways, about a week later, some ***** in a Cobra (I had my 88 Iroc-z at the time, got no luff from the Mustang guys, still don't, but whatever) asks me how I managed to get the doors blown off me by a Jeep??

Next time I'm sitting at a set of lights and someone wants to go, I won't be giving them the luxery of starting the race so I can't wonder if they were really trying because I violated them so bad.

/End story

 

So, how did you get beat so badly by that jeep?

 

Haha! You got beat by a Matrix. Should have blew the ugly right off that thing, eh? [8D]

 

 

that's hot, man.

yeah, next time just go from the line. that way there's nothing they can say. word travels fast in your town, are there like 500 people there or something?

 

It's the same way here man. Everyone knows what you do. Hell, the one guy I was trying to keep from knowing I had nitrous called me and asked me when I put nitrous on my car....it's like a giant soap opera. Only with fast cars and less hair.

 

dang he mustve done a lot to the matrix,....

thats a good sleeper car tho, noone would expect it.

 

HAHA great story. I was waiting to hear, " I heard his turbo spool and said oh ****."

 

Hahahahah, it's hilarious.

The kid with the Matrix must have a major problem with depth perception. I looked in my side mirror which DOES say "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. But he was so far back I had to look in my rear view mirror...

And yeah, 98LS1, I know how it is. I don't really live in the smallest town. 40,000 people, but word still gets around fast here.

 

lol. thats great..... I dont tell anyone where i live what i have in my car. Its all a secret. I also dont take chances like you do. If i see someone next to me i think wants to roll... i just launch off the line and if they are still sitting there i stuff it in 3rd and creep. Except the one time i raced the LT1 T/A i didnt think he would race, until he chirped the tires off the line, then i was cursing myself out the whole time "If i dont win im gonna look like a jackass" cause i kept revving to him. lol. But i did win, so HAHA GM!
