well just think about this

for these that wanna race you all they want it to prove they are faster

if you race them there are few reasons
you want to prove them wrong ( and what for ) you have a 30k car waht do they have? civic?
2nd you were like what i was a fool cant' stand ppl cut me off and go faster ( i learned my lesson from an accident )
3rd they are in a faster more expensive car and you want to show them a cheaper car can beat them ( goes back to the first)
so just ignore everyone like you did b4 but this time might be harder since you got a car not just for show

Once, an old z28 wanted to race me, so i pulled my ***** out and acted like i was rubbing one out, he slammed on the breaks and almost got rear-ended.

Stupid people with Civics who wanna race us Evo owners, shows that they don't know much about cars. I just give it a little gas, pass them by, wave, and give them the look of "yes, you just got smoked by a girl." =)

If its rice, I laugh and ignore them. Eventually they get the point. If I meet them at a stoplight, I let them know they aren't worth the ticket right now, and if they really want it to bring out some cash that night or at a later date. For the one's that follow me around, I prepare the crowbar, good 3ft of solid steel

A word to the wise from someone who used to street race just about everyone:

When I first got my evo when I lived back in Florida I pulled up to a light on my way home from work one day and a new black Nissan Maxima with dark black tinting and chrome wheels pulled up next to me at the light. I wasnt thinking anything of it at the time. When the light turned green I noticed the guy jump on it, so I decided what the hell I'm going to smoke him, which I did for about 1/4 of a mile before letting off and slowing down. Looked in my rear view to give myself that nice sense of satisfaction for decimating him only to see cop lights going off from just above his rear view mirror and headlights/grille. I pulled right over, he walked up and said 'damn this thing is quick'. Luckily he didnt give me a ticket (he really should have) but that kinda put a big damper on my days of racing anything or anyone who pulls up to a light. You gotta be careful now a days!

I usaually tell their girlfriend to pick her head up out of my lap and wave. Maybe the don't want to race me? Maybe they just followed me away from their girls house and their just pissed? That would explain why it's always that same guy. LOL
