So there I am, on my way to a Mother's day potluck. Got my wife in the passenger's seat and my 76 y/o mother in back. I'd already been warned not to "ruin the casseroles" with my driving. (They were in the trunk).

I'm stopped at a stoplight and a 5.0 liter mustang pulls up alongside me. The driver eyes me and before I know it, the light has turned green, his tires are squealing and he's halfway down the road. Hope he's happy.

My wife was nice enough to point out that the "old, bald fat guy in the Mustang with the handicapped placard" just smoked me. Great.

At least I didn't ruin the casseroles.

Don't you just hate it when that happens when your family is onboard? You can't do nothing about it than to just stare his tailights and wishes a cop would pull him over! :twisted: Then you win! 8)

it's ok. some people are just whack. they could just do what they just did to you, or rev on you on the opposite side. or just plain fly by.

well kinda off topic but I was driving to Davis yesterday on the freeway, a Toyota Matrix (its a 4 door wagon) with a big ol exhaust and all stickered out pulls up next to me and starts revving his exhaust like crazy, in the middle of traffic. Bwhaaaaa I was thinking about smoking him, but then again I remembered how much gas prices are, so it'll cost me a few dollars everytime I mash the pedal so i said "nahh" i'm cool. Just left the idiot be.

:werd: What would be really sweet is if after they took off a cop went after them. Never one around when you need one. :?

What a race! But yeah, I can relate to your story. My chick frowns against me even going faster than 10 mph over the speed limit so I am forced to keep it cool. :)

Normally I don't see anyone worth playing with or just feel the need to add another ticket to my record. A guy pulls up next to me yesterday in a Mustang Corba. I couldn't resist :twisted: we both launched at the green light. I need more parts :oops: damm that thing was hella fast. Oh well it was fun. On the freeway I saw him again and gave him a :thumbsup: and went on my way. On way home I see an srt4 lowered and no rear wing hmm. I get close to my turnoff and see up ahead he's taking the same turnoff. On the back road that leads to my house I see the guy pulling over or slowing down. As soon as I get about a car lenth close to him he punches it. He's got a few mods in his car but not enough :twisted: . I find out he lives around the corner and he's been eyeing my Evo.

If it was a SVT Cobra, then it has a 390 hp supercharged 4.6L V8, those are pretty fast in a straight line.

once in awhile i get these airheads that want to race me at a red light. what i do is rev my engine like i'm about to race them and get their adrenaline going. when the light turns green, i just casually roll and watch them take off :lol:. it's hillarious to see them burnout, going uncontrolably right to left, etc. etc. can you get cited for provoking a street race?

:lol: Maybe, but the cop is more likely to go after the fool who burns out and takes off. :cop: :skid:

I once got cited for violating a San Mateo noise ordinance because my tires squealed a little on a U-turn.
