Any suggestions on being revved at?

I'm just curious as to how everyone has been handling being revved at during the break-in of their new baby Evo. You know, whether it's a ricer or a legitimate contender, what do you do when someone next to you wants to see what kind of satchels you and your Evo have? I pick mine up on Friday (hopefully) and am expecting to get this a lot b/c there will only be about 5 Evos on the street here in STL when I get mine.

Personally, I'll just smile and wink and let them fly off into the sunset. There's no way I'm screwing up my car !! Hell, I might as well make a sign that says "Break-in period. Go rev yourself."

Ignore them. If you can't handle that for a couple weeks, hand over the keys...

Send them in my direction

If all goes as planned, by the time I get back to STL on Friday my car will be ready to take care of some serious business

Just take it easy. I won't let anyone provoke me until at least 600 miles.

Make a sheet and hang it on the passenger side window:

"BREAKING IN, PLEASE PASS UP"

Personally, my interest in such pissing contests expired many years ago. Wanna find out what I got? Fine. I'll see you on a legitimate track at a sanctioned (and insured) motorsports event.

Cops don't hand out trophy's.

Remember when you revved at a Viper or a Lotus? Remember the look the driver gave you? Use that.....

Imagine you have 590 miles on you odometer. Then you stop at a red light, then right next to you is some punk who wants to test your limits. And then in your head your thinking ::10 MILES LEFT, ONLY 10 MILES!!!: Then you look at the odometer AGAIN. Then you think again ::10 Freakin MILES!!! ONLY 10 MILES.:: Then this kid keeps on testing you, Reving like CRAZY, then he says some **** about your Evo.

Will you say "Oh well, let's do it" then you start reving and clinching your palm on the steering wheel. or Will you say "Naw chill, it ain't worth it. That kid's a beyotch. Just ignore him."

Imagine That......

Just look over.. look the car up and down, and laugh hysterically like their car is the biggest joke you've ever seen.. Then they get pissed and take off.. and you can laugh for real.. Its more fun than ripping them a new rectum.. Besides, if its a rice honda, you know its gonna be like racing an old woman in a shopping cart.

Tell'em you'll race them in reverse, if they give you a good run, you might give them an opportunity later on after they mod their car more... Otherwise, it aint worth the gas, or a trip to jail...
