Nice rice?

[Tod]

on the way home from work today i was at a stoplight on a 4 lane road. a Civic Si pulls up to the front of the line in the left lane to the light. i was the second car in the right lane back a couple of feet so i had room to get over behind him. the car had the complete set, rims (but not too big surprisingly), the 2 1/2 foot wing, blueish headlights and what looked to be a stock bodykit with the wider front bumper and fog lights, and the most surprising thing; not fart pipe, just a 2" or so exhuast tip or so. all in all a stock-looking Si from what i could tell. i was in the Mustang so i expected him to give me a rev and punch it at the light. to my surprise he didn't and simply pulled away, and i'm not the kind to go looking for trouble so i just let him be and went by him a few lights later when he turned left. again when we passed, no rev or even a look over.

all that said, these types of import guys are hard to find. not head jobs that go looking to race or looking for anything else other than to get where they want to go. just another car enthusiast who understood respect on the road, he respected me, so i respected him, nice and simple. a breath of fresh air compared to whet i usually find and encounter each day in my commute to work and other times while in the stang.

how many of you can say that it's hard to find young civic-driving kids(or any import for that matter) that respect other nice/fast cars on the road? just thought i'd ask.
