Default "hey you! race my friend!" ever happened to you?

driving home one night, minding my own buisiness, a hyundai santa fe flies by me and throws on his flashers. i don't even know what to say to this, but im not about to go do something stupid just to show up some shmendrick in a mid grade SUV, so i just ignore it. we pull up to the next light and i roll down my window and before i have a chance to say anything, the kid, about 19-20ish maybe, is like "hey you wanna race my friend's camaro?" im like not tonight, but what does he have? turns out its a kid i know with a 12.89 LT1 (on M/t slicks).............what i would think would be a fantastic race.


does this ever happen to you? i'm not sure how id feel if i had a friend going around town to every fast car he sees asking them if they want to race me.

I had some kid beg me to race his friend...it was a stock Formula Firebird (LT1) 6 speed that wanted to run my auto LT1 (3.42s, 2200 stall, shift kit, ported heads, cai, free mods, a/c delete, no cat, and a tune)...

Kid claimed his friends car was going to stomp my ass because he was a manual and I had an auto.

WTF? Same car...stock vs modded and he was thinking the transmission was going to give him the win.

Race never happened... I finally gave in and told him I would waste the gas... unfortunately when we were going to line up a mutual friend bumped into him and informed him he was in for an assraping...kid backed out.

Ive had that happen a few times.. When I had the vert, a guy came up and challenged me to race his friends turbo'ed integra.. was supposed to be a fully worked bad ass car.. bet it may have high high 13's at best (and here I was running mid 12's...). It wasnt pretty. lol.

I have only really had it happen once. I beat a guy in his MX3 or something and he told me he would go home and get his friend w/ a "Fast as hell" integra to beat me. I told him to meet back in an hour. He decided against it.[align=left] [/align]

It happens a lot here, but mostly due to the fact that there isnt much to do here.
