Yep, happens to me a lot. Kids in the car, people want to race. Heavy traffic, people want to race. Raining, they want to race.

Wide open road, nice and dry and perfect for a race? They ignore the hell out of me.

My parents used to race all the time with us in the car. They actually got pulled over for racing each other once coming home from my birthday party. Dad got a speeding ticket, mom was let go with a warning. Dad was pissed. LOL

He would race everyone with his Pinto wagon with a 351W. Things were alot different back then though. I don't think we even wore seatbelts in the back...

I had a smiliar thing happen last winter when i was out with my gf in my old winter beater probe. these guyys followed me for a while in their truck trying to get my to race. this was in 60kph zone in traffic so obviously i dont not race. ontop of that the transmission was not great in that car so i didnt want to run it hard. so after a few flybys they do 2 more with the passengers bare *** in the window

Aw hell... yeah it's hard but you have to know when to hold and know when to fold em' lol. I could race some grandma in her minivan at every stoplight but I don't, hence my perfect driving record. If I raced every a-hole that accelerated away from me at a light I'd be racing someone constantly lol. EVERYBODY wants to test the cammed stang.

And I'm usually riding by myself. I street race from time to time but it's rare. If I feel that a car is worth it I may bite but rarely. Had an SUV two inches off my bumper last night.. just got over, slowed down to 20mph and FORCED him to pass. He wanted me bad but I don't roll like that. right situation and I may race you but it's rare.

Rebel, that was a classy act by not getting out of the car and laying a whooping on those kids. When I have a kid I hope some stupid idiots don't try that stunt on me. Its gonna be a cold day for them if they were too. I agree with what someone else said. I would've have written down the license plate number down and called the police!

I had that happen with my little sister in the car when I had my new edge. Some tool in a sixxer 300C with rims was revving while we were in dead stop traffic. I would have loved to throw a handful of change at him.

heh...300C actually means it has the HEMI. If it was a sixxer, it would just be the 300.
