Default YES!! Noob Races!!!!

Flame me at will...

Was out with a friend and an old friend in my good ole ej8. I'm waiting to turn left and I see this thug sittin thuggish in his older model cavalier with tints. So I give it a go once it's clear but second slipped on me so I just coasted. Then a 4 way stop came up and I was going to turn left to go home, but I saw he wasn't turning so I thought I'd be an ass and go straight. I went like 5mph and waited for him to be clear to go and the second he started movin forward, I punched it and took it til like 80ish. Walked him a good 4-5 car lengths for the 700-ish feet we "raced" before he took a turn .

Then last week, I drove in my car while my friend drove in his car (99 ej8, same EXACT car as me, just red and his has 91k miles while I had 170k at the time) to Circuit City to get his speakers installed. A red light same up on us so he smiled and gave me that nod. I wasn't paying attention unfortunately and he got a better launch; I only launched at like 2-3kish and wheels barely spun. We were pretty much even until I started walking him in 3rd. He said he shifted at 6500-ish when I was taking it to 7000-7100ish. He's got an AEM SRI while I have an eBay generic SI SRI (2.75" and not 2.5") and he weighs about 40lbs more than me and I shift faster.

Then also last week, my friend got an eBay muffler "professionally installed by Monroe Muffler at an angle" on his 97 auto eclipse spyder gs. He thought it sounded amazing. Yeah it sounds like absolute fart. Worse than fart. Anyways, we saw him and his girl at a movie which we were so happened to be going to too. And after the movie I followed him for fun cuz me and my girl were bored. And we came up on a straight away near his house and I come up next to him and we're cruising about about 45ish and I downshift to 2nd. I hold it there for a few seconds for him to realize I wanna gun it. So after a few seconds of pausing, I punched it and got like a second jump start one him andI shut down at about 90ish. He was a good 4-5 car lengths back. Then he gave me the ricer flyby while he was flooring it so I could smell the unbearable eBay muffler fumes and hear the fart can. Oh yeah and he was alone in his car while I had my girlfriend.

YES for noob races! Post yours up!

Oh there's more. In my town, you're pretty much obvious if you're slow or fast so it's not like people wanna know what I have just cuz I drive a honda.

And at times I think I drive like I race everyone when I'm next to someone at a red... Yeah, not the only one.

We have some sick civics in Miami, I don't mess with anyone with my D, I just roll along. Someone on here has a boosted Civic in Miami, but I don't think hes been on the board in awhile and I usually see his car at Dolphin Mall.

Instead of following around a slow DSM you should have found something more constructive to do with your girlfriend that didnt involve you wasting gasoline...

If you can't think of anything do with her at 2 am then maybe wasting fossil fuels isn't the biggest worry here

Actually it's about 25ish. Yeah, talk about s***ty. My bank 1 primary o2 sensor was killed by seafoam about a month ago and I STILL haven't fixed it. That's putting a drain on my mpg. Then I need to do regular tune-up. Already got plugs and plug wires, cap/rotor on the way /w UPS right now, fuel filter and pcv valve coming soon with oil change. This will be the first time the car has ever gotten a tune-up and I'm at 172k.

But I always randomly drive around. Gas is the one thing I will never care for in terms of amount used.
