i live in a little hick town with a ton of big jeeps and trucks, anyone and everyone with diesel or just a loud jeep/truck likes to smoke out all the smart cars, its just what we do.

The best was a neon with a huge wing all that jazz, with way too big of a turbo. Well we where in Detroit going to Autorama and my jeep was packed and i wasnt going to endanger their lives cause you never know whats going to happen on the streets of Detroit. I launched it to see if he wanted to race, I only got on it hard on 1st and 2nd, then he blasted past me and around the turn ahead. I rounded the turn and saw a cloud of smoke, debris on the road and the neon pulled over with flashers. We stopped to laugh at them before continuing to the show.

Actually, this is a GREAT story:
There is a local jack*ss who has this old, built up GMC. Not sure on the make/model, but its late 70's probably. He has a HUGE lift in it with monster tires (bigger than 33's), nice paint, built motor, etc. Its a REALLY nice truck in all honesty, but the guy is a COMPLETE AND TOTAL d*nk of epic proportions. His mom and dad paid for EVERYTHING to be done to it like 10 years ago when he was in school and he thinks he's all that.
So anyway, a couple summers ago we were on some back roads (you ever see American Loggers on Discovery? Thats where I live) and he was stuck in this MONSTER hole. I knew the hole well and his buddy flags us around them so we obliged. My wife (who is pregnant at the time) puts the window down and nicely asks if theyre all set. "Yup, sure, so and so is on the way." Se we continue on our way. Turns out they sat in that hole for like 5 hours trying to get out.
So a couple days later my cousin is up here and we're going fishing. Its an old mill town with one main road through that has stores, Mickey D's, etc. Also has a LOT of cops. Especially at 9am on a Saturday during tourist season. So, we pull up to one of the only 2, yes TWO stop lights in town and we're on the inside and he pulls up on the outside. My cousin looks at me and says "Dont do it" and I smile. Well, right as our light turns green a car pulls into his lane from the road on the right. I punch it and take off like a madman. The car wants to be in my lane so it slows down and pulls in behind me. He absolutely CRUSHES the throttle and I hear him coming. Im a few hundred yards through the lights at this point, doing 45 in a 35. Its nothing but open road in front of us for half a mile, then his lane merges into mine and it goes out of town. ALL the way down the road, on the opposite side of the street I catch one of the local cruisers sitting behind the tourist info sign (my radar was going mad). So, here he comes, about 100 yards behind me in the outside lane, FLOORING IT! I hit 50ish and he BLOWS by me. Right at that time I see the cop getting ready to make a move and I stomp the breaks. He goes by me like he's doing 100 (was probably doing 60ish) and I slow to 40. The cop throws on the lights and rips out into traffic, crossing 4 lanes and getting right next to him and forces him off the road, literally. I drive on by and look over at his face and let me tell you, it was absolutely priceless. I thought my cousin was going to p*ss himself he was laughing so hard. "When did you see that cop?" he says. "About 300 yards after the light" I replied. It was classic.

I agree, keep it on the track if thats what you want to do. Most states now will take your ride if you get caught street racing. Youll be doing the "Shoeleather 500". Is Cali still crushing street racers cars? Heard that a while back...maybe just a rumor

Raced an old honda about 4 times within about an hour...he thought his little car was so quick and always got on my *** reving his engine...so we came to the four lane and he started to pull around me so i punched it and pulled away from him like no other...then we get to the turn around...he whips it around pulls out in front of me and flys off...he gets a good quarter mile in front of me, and of coarse i was pissed and hit the gas AND still passed him up not far down the road....then found the little ***** telling one of my buddy's that he beat me in a race...wow...some people just cant stand to loose to something twice the size and weight as their little cars.lol

I use to have a focus in my ricer days and be obsessed with getting faster...
I'd rather have my Jeep and not give a fawk about racing. Being able to drive thru 3 feet of water floats my ***** more than racing.

Lol. Love the stories. I was on my way to school when this loc'd out integra pulls next to me. Take in mind that I had just gotten my break-fast from bk and I have no cup holders and I drive a 5 speed. So we kind look at each other threw pit mad dark tint and as soon as the light turns green I smashed the pedal through my floor board an smoke the p1ss out of him. However once he hit 3rd gear it was all over and I had slowed down to about 40- ish.( speedo was broken I am guessing at the speed). Lol. I had him on the line but it turns out that I find the car on CL and it was a fully built n/a b18b1 GSR integra. Full suspension, exhaust and a killer paint job.
