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.

that has never happen to me, but what did happen was a 90+ minivan with 3 guys (17-18 years old) flew by me and put the blinking lights so i think my gto lost to a fast minivan

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.

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

Had two guys in a camaro pull behind me at a gas station once;

"Passanger--that thing smells good"
----"Me--thanks"
"Running regualar gas"
----"100 octane"
"Cool, Wanna run em later"
----"Sure"

Thank goodness for remote bottle opener mod--I waxed that ass on 125 shot(just come back in town from drag strip).
Oddly enough, the passenger has a 96 cobra sprayin a 100shot on it. And now, we hang out ever now & then.

Lol, Imagine what I have to go through.

Your average Red Neck comes up to me and asks if it has flowmasters. I say no. They ask if it has a 5.0. And I say yes. But then I stand there and wonder whether I should tell them that it came with a 4.6L stock, and mine is stroked.
