Don't get me wrong. I've had ricers pull up next to me, they just keep looking the other way. Any Porsche is pretty rare here, so I've just thought that they assumed it was fast because it is a Porsche.

The weird thing is that a lot of these ricers don't know how to drive their cars. Even if they have a WRX or 350z, whatever. The point is that my car is 20 years older than theirs and I either still womp em or put up a good enough fight up to the point when I think enough is enough. Oh and my car is stock, theirs isnt. This goes to show that most of the race is based on the driver's skills, not how loud their stupid exhaust can be.

I don't do much in town driving(living in the Va countryside) So I don't get chalanged to the drags much. I do get great joy out of some punk with the instant rice mobile trying to push me down the secondary highways and back roads. Havn't found one yet with a set as big as my 40yr. old ones. It's funny I get tried more in the BMW than in the Porsche.

i get it in the bmw almost all the time as well, like the other day on my way home and on the interstate. some young kid, with a couple of girls, in a camero (newer convertable, w/ a aftermarket can)pulled up next to me and reved it a few times. then he made like a prom dress. next thing i know, my fiance is telling me to just catch them and fly past them, so, as this grin accross my face is reminding me why i love her, i put the pedal down and within 8-9 seconds and 130mph we sail right past the kids.

and the guy actually followed me to the video store and asked me questions as to what kind a work i had "up in thur". and to say if he wouldnt of had the girls with him he would have really gotten on it (but im thinking his 115 with a V6 is prolly getting on it)

haha my town is trashy

I read that on "the best of craigslist" about a month back and It is so true. For those who havent read the best of craigslist you should really go check it out.

"However, I suppose the near-verticle air dam which is my windshield isn't neccesarily discouraging to someone who puts a god-damn wing on the back of a front wheel drive car. More downforce for the rear wheels then, eh? That way you can accelerate faster, right? Great work, dip*****."

Brilliant Sounds a lot like Maddux, doesn't it?

When I first got my 944, I had a craptastic Civic hatchback rev his engine at me when i was in THE LEFT TURN LANE, WITH MY BLINKER ON.

Well, it finally happened to me last night. I was coming home from taking my 8yo son out for dinner before school starts. At a light in town, I pulled up next to a Subi WRX STI. I was looking at his car (I had thought of buying one) and he looked back at me. Then he started adjusting his hands and fingers on the wheel while looking between me and the light. When the light turned green, he waited for me to start then finally took off. When he saw I wasn't with him, he backed off. When I caught up with him, be took off again.

BTW, the car I was driving - '96 VW Passat TDI. Yup, a whole 90hp of tire burning power and huge 14" rims.

My favorite anti-rice bumper sticker is "only milk and juice come in 2 liters." I'd have one made, except my car's a whole 2.5 liters. I think it's made for a 5+ liter American car. (or a 928 )

I have a confession. When i first got the roach i found a Civic on the freeway with an exhaust you could stick your head into and initiated a race with him. Alf bad.

Those souped up Hondas seem to have problems going 60-100mph. Must be that big wing in the back causing a bunch of drag

you know the only reason why they rev there engines when your going the other way or not even going straight is because they know you can get out of your car kick it and make it explode.
