Default slow speed race.

I have snow tires on so I am pretty much driving slow most of the time, waiting for snow. I am at a light and I see an older Civic hatch with fart can and rims revving at me.. I take off with a little bit of throttle and I hear all 110whp revving all to hell next to me!

It screams to life, while barely even moving and puts about 3 cars on me in what felt like a lifetime lol

I pull up next to him at the next light. He gives me a thumbs up and a "nice run man"

I just wave and take off slowly.. this dude actually paces me!

I blip the throttle and the civic goes hog wild with noise again and (slowly) pulls away rofl


Oui...

Not sure what to make of all this excitement

what will your tires explode if you drive fast? I had snows on a all four on a 89 LX 5.0 and never stopped me from smoking a ricer if conditions allowed

I'm with stk. if he was really that slow i'd of just got on it enough to hold him off, just so he doesn't go running to his buddies telling about how he put lengths on a s/c'd mustang. lol

I had no intentions on racing in the first place.. but I couldn't help but blip the throttle just to see if he took the bait lol

No biggie, probably made his day

Lol. I run snow rated tires all year but I wouldn't run on dedicated tires (blizzacks). I can see your point though if you don't intend on racing period.

This reminds me of when I was a little kid and thought I could beat my mom down the street in her minivan on my bicycle... the whole time she was just messing with me of course ;P

My favorite is when some ricer tries to do a flyby and as soon as he get's almost to my back bumper I'll floor it. There are a few fast ones here though... gotta watch out. Once saw a hatchback Civic that was extremely riced out with fake exhaust cut outs. stickers, etc on the back... it was definitely a low-mid 12 car. I fell for the bait
