Default Why do they try?

Last night a little 89 or 90 civic started spitting game by exhaust talk... reving his engine and all, so I SMOKED him!! He of course had the initial take off.. but after that it was GAME OVER! That's my first kill in my Mustang since I bought it two weeks ago.. and it feels damn good! But really.... why do they even try? Funny part is.. he did it AGAIN at the next light.... and I smoked him again!! HAHAHAHA!!!! Does that count as two!?! HAHAHA!!!!

Ricers love to think they can beat anyone. Remember this: fart cans, 10 foot wings, and unpainted body kits equal like 400 rwhp gain in a ricer's eyes. They think the car looks cool (even though it doesn't), so it's gotta be fast, right?

I was talking to a kid I worked with. He wants to make his car have some high performance, and asked me what I thought he should do. I told him basic stuff like bolt-ons. Then he goes, "Oh, I was thinking with starting out with some big chrome rims to make it faster..."

That's cause with 20's vs 15's, there's less wheel to move, or at least I'd assume with physics and all. Ricers usually go the other way, with their stock 13's on Civics and go to 20's, so they have almost no tire left. Must ride like s**t.
