Serves me right for messing with a riced-out civic...

So I'm cruising home last night about 2AM - been a long, rough night at work. I come across a small convoy of hopped-up civics. Their just cruising along at about 60 mph - I'm tired so I'm doing about 75 and I cruise by them - their staring hard so I'm thinking somethin's up. All of a sudden, my rear-view mirror is filled with aftermarket HID light - the lead civic is on my ass. Now I'm a grown adult, got mortgage, kids and wifey at home, so I'm way past my road-racer days, so I convince myself to just let him go - so he flies past me. That little voice in my head is saying "yo dawg, I know you're not gonna let him do you like that, are you? He's gonna go tell all his friends how a TL was scared to take him on and it's all your fault - grow a pair!!". No, it's not worth it, I tell myself, be the bigger man. So the civic slows down and cruise past him again. Now we come to a long straight-away and I'm thinking - he's not dumb enough to try to take me on a straight-away - he knows he's outgunned. Again, here he comes, this time he cuts me off - not a bad cut-off, I didn't have to hit the brakes or swerve or anything, but he came a little too close - enuff already, now he's gonna git it.. Before the voice of reason can say anything, my foot's to the floor, the GReddy EVO's are screaming and I'm reeling him in like a marlin - this is gonna be over quick, I say to myself. All of a sudden, the civic downshifts and burps a big puff of smoke, and my windshield looks like it's been raining - WTF!! this effin' civic just threw up on me!*&#*!#&! I blaze past him and hit the wipers and it just smears over my windshield. Now I'm in my driveway at home at 2:30AM washing the remnants of this civic off my baby. Wifey's pissed cuz I woke her up, give her a BS excuse, but she knows me too well. It's like comin' home late and the first thing you do is jump in the shower - you've been up to no good. I get up and this morning and spend an hour washing and polishing the front end of my car to clean all this crap off. Serves me right.... I know better... I'll let him go next time.. :wink:

Exactly......but the only ones I've seen have been on "Pinks". Every older Civic I've seen around here would be lucky to break into the 15's.

We ran into a nice EF last week, and that shit was quick. It'd easily hang with a TL-S and beat it if the driver was better. I think we have some video proof somewhere but shit, K-swapped EF FTW. My buddy with the G still pulled him but it was a rather good fight. I didn't participate because of a fully loaded car, but I did race this 5.0 Stang and loved the look on the dudes face as I passed him with 5 people in the car.

~Cheers~

^ Yup, true fried rice starts with day old steamed rice. It tastes better.

I say it was refried beans. I'm taking back the term rice!!

the stuff that flew out his tail pipe is probably oil because ricers like that spend all their money on UFO lights under their car and can't afford to fix his P.O.S. car....poor honda civic. I just let them waste their gas and do ricer fly-by's all day.

In the Supras, we throw black smoke from the sudden dump of fuel. Nothing ever goes on the camera cars, though.

nice weather.....was driving back home with my girl......submerged in the songs played by the ELS surround......great mood set......was a 100 mile drive.....done 50% already.....had my underbody LED kit on......no exhaust or intake......crusing at 65 mph......

mazda 3 hatchback comes along.....it just had mufflers and not exhaust since the V4 made it sound like a weed-whacker.....teasing me by revving his engine.....

i look at him.....he looks at me.....i look at my lady....she smiles at me......he revs his engine.....i cruise back home ......

straight to where i should go and not washing my car

im still trying to understand why you didn't cut over into the next lane then stomp on the gas to let him know you were going to pass him... or were you in the lane next to him and it still got on you???

That black soot just may from a used up oxygen sensor. In other words, it is gulping more gas than it needs because the sensor does not work properly anymore.

poor maintenance+too many races=bad motor....most professional race teams tear a motor down after one race session..most street racers don't.
