He knows he can't drive his Jetta in the sand. At least he is not the kind that wants to race people to prove anything...or so he says.

Fact is I don't know about your ride, but my 4.0L 98 would have shown him the tail lights.


If you really want them to shut up, try this.

Okay I'll race you in the quarter mile!

But I get to pick the quarter mile.

Oh he'll start naming local dragstrips to see which one you mean.

Nope, I'm talking about (Insert your favorite powerline trail here)


Option 3; You could have asked him "What are you ghey or something"?

hah thanks I will try that if I run into him again

They're just afraid to race something comparable because they're afraid of losing. I have one thing to say about that: LOSER!
Right, I feel the same way man. I have a 3 inch lift with 265s 99 Cherokee with a flowmaster exhaust (Previous owners doing) , but Yeah, i wont win in a race, No reason to try. he was definetly a loser

Haha I haven't had anybody do this to me yet, but when I had my Prelude it happened all the time. I was coming off the free way and this guy in an STI starts speeding up and flys by me. I'm in a 89 Honda no way I would win.

So I kept him behind me ...flipped me the bird when I finally let him by, lol
Ha Nice, young kids with rice burners= annoying situations

i have a 90 prelude (not fast) and my xj. It pisses me off when people try to race you regardless of what they are driving. THEY are compensating and it's best to just laugh inside at them.

Whenever I see a fast car racing around I just think about how they could never go anywhere without a smooth, paved road. That's where my Jeep would pass em right by...

that's the truth and honestly almost all rice burners are slow unless you put some money into them. 2.0 4 banger is not a HP machine.

More like young kids with anything.

I've had a kid in an 87 Chevy Celebrity rev on my Civic before. Kids are kids.
