hehe...no not me. The fellow who thought family cars are slow....

I was driving to school today, when I came up to a red light. A fellow pulled up behind me in a Ford Escort. He was quite young, about my age. I noticed that he had painted his fog lights blue (like I paint mine green!) I thought that was pretty cool

So we took off from the lights, and he decided i was going too slow and he was going to pass me in the passing lane. As soon as he went to go around me, i gave it gas and pulled ahead, and stayed ahead until the lane ended. Then I slowed down to a more suitable speed. Suddenly, he pulls out around me and passes me, and then cut in front of me. Then he waved. So it was on.

I waited until we came up to another passing lane, and passed two cars that he had previously passed. Then I got up beside him and i wasn't honing it or anything, just pulled up to him. My window was down, then i heard his car start SCREAMING, and he pointed ahead. So away we went. He stayed with me for a couple of seconds, and then i pinned the peddle and took off. I literally left him sitting, and he was actually trying. I was so far ahead that i had room to go in front of him, and there was room enough for another car in between us!! ( I had a full tank of gas, too!)

So I slowed down again, and he stayed behind me. A few minutes later I turned off into a coffee shop, and he followed me. I figured he was going to reem me about about bad driving or smething, but he came up to my car and said "what the f*ck is under the hood of this thing!?" and i told him that as far as i know its all stock and he was like no you're lying...he told me he has spend like thousands of dollars on mods for his car, he has it chipped, and he has a turbo charger or super charger on it and what not. He said he drag races his car all the time and has never been beaten, and he couldn't believe an "old lady car" had beaten him. LOL

Anyway I just got a real kick out of that and thought i would share that with you folks.

Yeah cause you know someone would actually take the time to put a turbocharger or supercharger on a Ford Escort. I am going to have to say that the guy you raced is a ricer or something equivalent. Good kill and destroy that sterotype!

Good Kill !!!

Just smoke 2 riced out Intergra ( one black.. one red ) on the way home from work too... Surprisingly.. I think one also had NOS . I could hear him shift in 3rd gear start revving it up.. and all of a sudden.. the engine revvs way up ( Not the same as being on your clutch ).. Sure enough.. tee hee... left him up over and gone....
Anyone know where I can get custom Neons signs done around Toronto on 12 volt DC?? I want to have a light up sign on the back windshield with a switch that when switched on.. would read " C- YA !!! " or "UP Over and Gone" or " Don't even try " or " You're F$%ked "

Good Kill again Tamara... so.. you want to bring your car on Saturday to face other Rice car ?? ha ha.. might as well just get up and run beside those cars..

I don't think you'd have to worry about your car being slow... it didn't feel like it the last time.. ( and you had 5 people in your car ). I have yet loose to a Rice car yet ( knock on wood ).. but if I do.. it just means.. " Time for some Mods fast "
Anyone say 150 shot of NOS ?!?!?!

Default Rice for Breakfast

Isn't it great to have rice for breakfast? I try to have a couple of helpings myself on the way to work. Driving on I-95 in VA near DC is a great place to serve up some 280 FT/LB whoopass!
