zenfamily Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I was leaving Yorktown the other day to pick up my exhaust from reflexion. At the light before the exit, a bunch of civics & a couple of GTIs/Preludes) pulled out in front of me. I thought the trip would go fast & furious, and I was looking forward to tailing them for the trip:D. I was totally wrong! They took up both lanes of I-64 and were going anywhere from 40-60mph (speed limit 60mph). There was a couple of people standing out their sunroofs with cameras, that was totally nuts:eek:. I was boxed in this stupidity for about 20-25 minutes:soap_box:. I finally got passed them when I saw some open spots:jedi:. The other innocent bystanders were still behind this crowd, but I got to the open road and left those yahoos behind:dm:. Even thought it sounds strange, I hope those guys made it safe (especially for the other people on the road). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoobie Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 ricer rolling shot photo shoot! There are sooo many ricers around here its ridiculous. Its funny to have a redneck in a beat up 89' hatchback gritting on me and revving his tin can at me as if I should be intimidated. Most honda vehicles around here that are modded make about as much torque as my lug nuts need anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Mount some red/blue lights inside the windshield to flash with at occasions like that and then just pass and leave. Maybe not legal, but there are so many things that aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum_Racing Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I have a siren that would go great with that setup. I used to have it hooked up to the horn switch in an old vehicle, but if you ever took it to get inspected and they tested the horn, chances are you wouldn't be getting a sticker that day...

Pawlwawl06 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Most of the Honda crowd I come across aren't that bad, I don't get any disrespect and normally don't seen any stupidity on the roads. Its the bikers that piss me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the bikers that piss me off. You are lucky then. The guys in older civics around here are generally good, because they understand, after 20 years, that 130hp and 1.8 litres isn't going to beat anything except cars with lower displacement. But it seems that any newer Honda that comes with nearly 200hp (new Civic Si, TSX are the main culprits) are usually driven by guys who think they're in fighter jets. I guess VTEC is so intoxicating on the K-Series that it demands to be driven in a douchey way. It must be written in the owner's manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not legal, but there are so many things that aren't. Definitely not legal, and if caught with those, you're in big trouble (impersonating an officer).

smokedoutv6 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 i had a comical run in the other day. just got done installing my invida dp and perrin mid & y and took it out for a little heat cycle and who pull next to me at a light....a riced out civic. proceeds to make lots of noise and not go anywhere so i guess he was alittle upset when the camry...i mean leggy passed him. he proceeds to pull up to the next light and 1) wants to run for money (flashed his $200 "knot" consisting of mostly fives and singles) and then 2) wants to "go home to get his other car" apparently he was driving his "girls car" not sure why you would want to run for money but then want to switch cars? perhaps its a honda thing my buddy and i just proceed to chuckle and go on about our business. good times!

eekay Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Nearly every day some ricer will pull up next to me revving and poking forward... I'll toy with them slightly but I don't "race" them for many reasons. Main reason being that they'll race and race and race until they manage to get ahead of you and are able to finally put on their hazards to let you know they've won... What makes them think that is even reasonably safe to do in town, over hills, and around corners in a neighborhood with pedestrians, children, etc... around is beyond me. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueWhiteBoy Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I agree On that note though I've watched Pinks All out a few times and I think about 3 times every episode there's always someone in some (hickish) accent saying that it's a good thing we're here to keep kids from racing on the street.

eekay Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Agreed. Not even worth your gas. Keep it on a closed track. Precisely... I've had some pretty close calls when not driving quick at all. I can't imagine what it would be like to mow someone down and injure/kill them due to something as brainless as street racing. My 9.3 cups EJ22 makes me feel like my **** is 2.8 decimeters!
