That attitude is what gives them a bad name. I had one screwing with me while driving the cobra one day, I'd get to his rear bumper and he would floor it and then tap the roof of his car. When I got next to him I asked him why he whould let me get even with him before flooring it, his buddy sticks his head out the window rolls his eyes up and shouts "you don't have a chance! this car runs 13.3s". I said "I was pulling on you!". He says "you got a head start!", this left me scratching my head. He let me get even the next time and sure enough, I started pulling ever so slightly ahead. That car was pretty fast but I couldn't talk to the guy at all.
I ran into the guy about a month later only this time I'm in the 89. I was at a light and getting ready to turn into a gas station and he flys up. I get on it and we go then I turn into the gas station(LOL). I see him tapping his roof. He makes a uturn and as I'm about to pull out he pulls up next to me and I ask "remember me? I was the one in the cobra vert." He was like no and then gets real cocky and asks if I wanna race for money, I was like "maybe so". he says he has a friend with a black eclipse that would race for money, I said why not you race me now for money? You should have seen his face "Umm, nah.. no, what you got". "ITS STOCK!(blower whining and exhaust is loud as hell)
" There was more to the conversation but the point is he was just pissing me off in a big way, why can't they just talk instead of being so arrogant?! Anyhow, I pull out and he follows and I can tell he is trying to spool up his turbos for a fly-by and I'm thinking "should I let him past and let him think he is fast so I can take some of his money later?" As he is getting close to my door I think "Screw it!" and shift into 2nd and leave his monkey azz YO. I start tapping my roof like an idiot just to piss him off, the explorer I was next to by that time was looking at me like I was crazy of something(it does look ridiculous). I see him (in the rear view) make a quick u turn after that. I just had to laugh to myself. This guy is a young punk. GRRRR...
