Why do they try

Okay so far this week I have had a GEO metro try to race me and today some guy in a Civic with his GF all I gotta say is sorry oyur gf had to see that.

What am I doing wrong why can't I get any cars that are in my class to race. It is either these or a Supra TT that tried to race me a couple months back

I wonder the same thing... I rarely get someone worthwhile to race me.

seems like the cl's 0-60 times are very close to 4th gen maxima's(not sure what 5th gen's are pulling 0-60 with the new added horses!) Coming from a previously owned max owner, i think they would race!! They are pretty common too!

Yeah, same here. I should get a license plate that just says "PLEASE" on it. What a joke. I had the same thing happen....
