Default Anyone ever egg on a stoplight race?

I love to and then just sit there or turn right when the light turns green.

Yesterday this kid and his girl pulled up in thier 98ish Eclipse GS (im guessing cause the emblem had been removed). I pull up beside him and look over, he starts revving his engine and his cute little ricer exhaust (can of bees and all). So i nod at him and the light turns green, he squealed off the light and i jsut pulled away slowly. Pull back up next him at the next light laughing and he flicked me off.

HAHA made my day!

what you don't realize is that he probably videotaped it and showed everyone on the eclipse forums how he owned you

haha, damn

what really bugs me about people like that is that great you have a "fast" car, show it on a track, not a crowded 4 lane city street... I'm not going to risk losing my license over some stupid kid who thinks his eclipse is bad ___.

Losing your license is bad.


Killing someone else is far worse, and it happens way too often.

last week, I had an evo 8 come up on me (I was stopped at the light) and barely stopped before the line, and started reving his motor, so I egged him on by reving mine so he could hear the S/C, the light turned green, and I launched like a granny, came up to the next light (which he got stopped by) and just laughed my ___ off at him! it was the best moment ever!

I think it comes with the surroundings, every kid who straps on a muffler in my town thinks they have a 10 sec. supra. you see a few sleepers that are really nice and the drivers i know are rather reserved and dont act like turds. Also there are a few modded out domestics (camaros and stangs) that are worth looking at, but most of it is cheap rice. either they have a body kit that looks like a pikes peak car or a half primer half CF paintjob (i seen it on more than 1 occasion)

I live in a small town where there are 2 Tuner shops that charge exorbanat (sp?) prices and all the cars that ive seen at them are civics and eclipes, ive only seen 2 tc's in town =D so i feel special! LOL

its "exorbanant" LOL

but I know what you mean, last night I saw a newer mustang 2001+ with altezza tail lights (which is just messed up to begin with, since I assume most people know where altezza came from) and a spoiler way 3/4-1 foot over the roof line, and exhaust cut off down the middle of the car...... sounded horrible and at the red light, he floored it when everyone else didnt care..... people like that just make me laugh.

The trick is to egg them on when you know there is a cop nearby! That would make a funny situation flippin' HILARIOUS!

yeah but you know the old adage, there is never a cop around when you need one.

If there's a cop around that you're aware of, I'd make sure NOT to rev my engine. He could hit you with attempting to street race, or whatever the fancy wording is for trying to start a race. Do the nod if you can without being seen, then laugh your butt off when he's on the side of the road.

Hey BigMurr, this kind of thing never happens to me either, maybe it's a north GA thing or something. Then again, my car looks pretty stock.

done it!! Back when I had my civic years ago another older vic rolled up next to me. He didn't see the cop that I saw driving around in a parking lot up ahead, but he was determined to rev up. so I give him the ok and the light turns green and he squeels his tires and speeds off right into the hands of the cop watching the both of us.

it was the funniest thing I have even seen in my life, I laughed at him as I drove by.

I figured now that I have an exhaust it might get more attention from idiots, nope. I just think that everyone in Cobb county knows that the cops here are a$$holes.

I get flagged down on our main strip in town all the time since I put on my gold rims. They seem to be a source of good and bad attention. Every ricer thinks they should race me because my car looks better their primered POS.. even though I have a car full of family.. I just drive away like normal and see them burn up $3 bucks worth of gas.
