Default street racing in rush hr, bumper to bumper traffic

what the hell is wrong with some people. i'm driving in bumper to bumper traffic and some dumb ass pulls up so his fart can is at my window and starts reving at me. i can see him bent over looking in his side mirror looking at me. you know what i started doing, so hard i started to cry.

i'm sitting at a light on us19 with 25 cars in front of me and the guys next to me is reving at me

the wife is driving the 67 firebird (her second time driving it) and where on our way to get something to eat. where going down little road around 8:00 pm and there's 3-4 cars in front of us and the guy next to us is flooring his car and driving up on the cars in front of him. the wife started to go once but i told her no. i was afraid she would break the tires lose and lose control i'd be pissed if she got a ticket or crashed the car racing a 14 or 15 second car. plus what's the point of racing some turd. it was some late 80's/ early 90's camaro with 1 7/8 or 2 inch exhaust


had some punk in a NA 4 banger racing me from a light on us19 and i didn't even know it i had 1/4 pedal and he got me by a 1/2 car by 50 mph and threw on the flashers. i saw him beating the shit out of his car but never thought he was racing me. guess i couldn't hear him rev at me over my exhaust and stereo

i brought it up to a friend and he said he can't turn down a race. he said he had 9 people rev at him on us19 between clearwater and port richey on his way home. needless to say he raced them. but i don't see why since i'm sure none of the cars he raced ran low 12's or under.

why do people pick races where there going to freight trained? let alone in rush hr traffic.

i guess since F&F came out everyone thinks there John Force driving a race car.

PS: i don't street race so don't bother reving at me if you see me. i'm slow

i agree with you. there is a time and place to race.
i got off of work a few weeks ago 5pm driving south on us hwy 19.
a primer and red 240 drives past me. he then slows down and paces me. he revs his engine and his bov went swwwwwsshshshhh.
i look ahead and theres a dump truck, a f150 pulling enough wood to build noahs ark, a trash truck, and tons of traffic. i just dont understand people sometimes. im not about to risk my life let alone anyone elses.

I may play around when I drive the Stratus with punks, but never all-out.

I usually just laugh at them when I'm in the Challenger. These roads are too crowded to do stupid shit. Take it to the back roads.

It's stupid to race on the streets in the first place, but to try and do it in the middle of rush hour traffic is just plain retarded.

When you get home, wash off the white shoe polish
on your car that says "race me". -Bob
