LOL, domestically challenged. I hear yea. I don't have kids, but I hate when imports (and I'm not talking evos/stis) rev me in heavy/rush hr traffic and want to race when there is no room and they are driving slow p.o.s.'s.

PS-Anyone know if an early 90's non type-r integra can get 280fwhp with bolt-ons? I swear some kid pulled up to me in a early 90's non-type r integra, no engine swap, and said he was pushing 280fwhp with a cai, full exhaust, couple other bolt-ons I can't remember, and a tune. I thought it's not possible out of a 140bhp stock 1.8 liter engine?

Imports respond nicely to basic bolt ons but they would never get +140hp with the mods you listed.

Valkyrie wings?

yeah the early 90's intergra have a desireable computer, and i think the B16A maybe. and there is now way it can gain 140bhp from bolt ons

heh, I was kind of hoping to read that USMCrebel got out of his car and beat the **** out of the 4 kids (or at least the driver), but a cop pulling them over does the trick hopefully.

I haven't had anyone pull any stupid **** on me...so far. I don't even look over, however, or take off hard from a light. If I see some young kids in a car and I just have a feeling that they are about to do some stupid ****, I'll try to get their plate number written down...just in case.

Meh. I just ignore people when they want to race if I don't feel like it. I avoid eye contact and just watch the road in front and keep a constant speed. Usually works fine.

It amazes me the people that want to race sometimes. I've had mini vans try to goad me into it on the interstate at night before. Idiots.

I thought about it but it seemed like a waste. It would've been hard to spot police (don't have radar detector) and also dangerous. A minivan going ***** out - seems like a recipe for disaster.

lol yah I know. I just would feel bad if they rolled their van and someone got hurt. Even if it wasn't really MY fault. Not to mention the risk of a ticket or wreckless driving.. It was pretty dark on that stretch of road.

If it had been daylight and I had good visibility I might have ditched him I dunno. Just didn't feel right. Not sure what else I can say about that situation.
