Tuxevo be glad.

What pisses me off is it gives all of us a bad name. These guys drive like maniacs to get the race going, or to catch up to you. I want a sticker that says street racing

Do what I do, simply ignore them.

I get people, mostly younger guys, who catch up to me or pull up next to me whatever and drool over my car.

I just ignore them, 90% of the time they wind up honking at me to get me to look and simply say that they like my car, by ignoring them they know you have no interest in racing them.

I like the appreciation people show for all the hard work and money that I have put into it but I am not going to get a speeding ticket or worse injure someone.

I like the more mature drivers who have other badass cars, how they want to "race" that's more like "play". Had a Viper "playing with me" in traffic, cutting it up without speeding and keeping up with me, so as to get to an open 200 yd stretch (actually was wide open but just the length of a run) where we both could open it up a little. And then immediately both of us slowed back down to legal speed. It's all fun for that, no "racing", just letting our studs run with their kind and feel the wind. W/o tickets or dangers. I have had a few M3's do that on open interstate stretches. Nothing racing, just a bit of speed. and brakes.

Yeah all I do is either shake my head "no" or just ignore people. It probably helps that I drive the speed limit too. Granted I like the attention like the guy above said, it's nice when people do recognize what you've created.

I never see any of these fools. I'm always in a race against time and am usually ahead of the pack .

Being in the military and living near a military base, theres a lot of mustangs, cameros, and ricermobiles. All think they have a fast car and only a few are actually fast. They get a intake and a muffler on their car and think they can out run everyone. I just ignore them and they usually drive off. Once in a while you will get one that wont quick so Ill give them a little taste(drop it to 3rd and WOT at 27psi) and than they dont want anymore.

when people try to race you stop the car and drive in reverse tell them to race you then.

People think just bec. we drive an evo we will race every fast car we see. If anyone has any tips on how to stop these idiots trying to race you it would be much appreciated!


Tinted windows man, whenever I get something I'm not interested in or the conditions aren't good I just roll up the tint, its like them revving at a wall now, instead of a person.
