Hey all,

I was driving home from work last night and a Dodge Durango came along my side and kept on surging. I looked over at him and he signaled me to take off. I just smiled and kept driving at 45 MPH. This is not the first time this has happened to me. I had a Toyota Tundra do the same thing a few months ago. What is it about our cars that everyone wants a piece of us?

Well the purpose of this thread is to see what type of amusing cars tried to challenge you in the past. I think there will be some better than my Durango story.

 

Had a kid in a civic try to race me one time. My brother and I were going to the shop and this kid passed us going the other direction and then whipped a u-turn and started to follow us. I said, looks like somebody wants to race. My brother jokingly said 'just because they are asian and their driving a civic doesn't mean they want to race.' Well we got to the next light and sure as sh*t he pulled next to us and started the ricer rev your engine routine. We both started to laugh uncontrollably. I totally missed the light turn green because we were laughing so hard but I had him by the crosswalks on the other side of the intersection and continued to let him have it for a good 3-4 blocks before I looked down and realized that I should slow it down. Of course he caught up to me, revved his engine a few times and then did the obligatory ricer fly-by.

 

It's really not about them wanting to "race" you rather them wanting to see how fast your car is. Trust me, I know this, I have had it happen to me.......And I usually never show my cards.

 

This was back when I had my coupe. LOL I don't waste my time now with the SRT.

 

LoL, I was actually talking about "trucks" wanting to race. The ricers actually DO want a piece and think they have a shot. lol

 

Honestly though, there are 2 conditions on whether or not I take the chance on the street.....

1. If you drive a mustang. These guys think they can beat anything and a lot of them are total douches.
2. If you are driving something that I know could give me a good run. If I don't feel that it's worth the risk I won't run. Yes, I realize to them I appear to be "scared", but where I live, there are cops every other block so it's just not worth the chance. I save it for the track.

 

I still remember some of the cars I was able to take with the old base coupe and some of them were won or lost by a gnat's a$$. Go up against the same cars in the SRT and it's a whole 'nother ball game. LOL Love pissin' those 350z guys' wheaties.

 

I couldn't agree more. I can't stand "mustang guy" .

 

+1...that is the truth right there.

damn NJ State Troopers are everywhere...they are like the plague, minus the whole infected rats part.

 

Oh really.......that's your opinion.

 

Easy on these mustang comments!!! I still have mine.

 

Hey, I said "a lot" not ALL! :P Actually I have a good friend that has a mustang is a totally cool dude so....

 

ah so you know it's a problem then
j/k

 

I don't hate all mustang owners. My fiances dad has a bad *** new Shelby thats loaded. I just can't stand the jerks that always want to race because they think their car is th sh*t.

 

LOL of course....

 

i love the 350z's and mustangs. they look so cool in my rear view mirror!!!!!
had a guy in a suburban want to chase the lights!

 

If someone wants to race me, I'll do it regardless of what they've got. I raced an F150 the other day, heh

 

careful now boys, my last trip to the track, I witnessed a Dodge 4x4 deisel turn mid 11's, followed by a Chevy 1 ton deisel in the mid 12's...these beefed up deisels with all that torgue will suprise you, and those farm boys thinks nothing about it...pretty amazing stuff....

 

yeah, that's why I'll race anything, although the speed I'll race to depends on location, conditions, who's in the car with me, etc.

 

Last week: Land Rover with 24 in rims.......

....still laughing
