Yeah, 4 kids in a Dodge Neon tried racing me. Im not big on racing but theres always someone on the road who tries messing with ya. Anyways I wouldnt play into the kids little game so someone from the Neon called me a d-bag. I dunno but I think it was pretty childish. I just wanna be able to enjoy my car.. Theres no reason to street race.

I find it pathetic that their are people who have egos to big to just let it slide off their shoulder and continue about their business. And I am talking about the tC owners in this thread. How is it hard to just look, laugh and continue on your way?
What does it prove to race them?
I get people revving all the time. I usually wave or dont even look. Every now and then I will rev it up with the clutch in, just to watch them race off in their own little world. I can happily say I have never ever street raced. And you know what, I am still happy with my car. I dont have to race these morons just to make my ***** feel bigger.

Ehh racing in the street, let alone speeding is pretty dumb in my opinion, unless you were speeding b/c you had an emergency. The only car I had that looked over and revved at me was a suzuki @_@.

I spare myself the embarassment of racing in a tc, especially when most of the cars on the road, in my area are $30k and above.
