Has anyone ever had an encounter with unexpected cars trying to challange you? Since I got back from Thailand.. I had a stock miata try to race me at a red light, I didn't even bother trying to race that guy. A middle aged lady with her son in a Scion try to race me at every stoplight. Dude with some kinda Mercedies suv, dusted him because I wasn't about to get cut off.. couple of redneck trucks with offroad type stickers a couple kids who dress like Eminem with walmart bling bling hubcaps on a hand me down civic.
The funniest time is when I was comming from Kentucky (march 05), I was hauling all my stuff from my appartment in Kentucky in my Evo and as soon as I hit Seattle I was challanged by a car club on I-5. A red civic with a body kit, Tiberon, WRX, and a celica did some kinda formation around my car. They were trying to force me to race them with my car loaded with stuff. Getting on my tail, zooming infront of me, etc I blew past them dispite my handy cap and went home after 4 days of continous driving from across country. (I wasn't street racing Admin)
Today, I was driving over in Spanaway by bethel high school. Some "homie g" kids were walking on the side of the street towards oncomming traffic and pretended to jump infront of this truck haulin a horse trailer infront of me. Needless to say, it spooked the driver and sent him swirvin to the opposing lane, luckly not hitting any oncomming traffic. I might be a jerk, but I drove the street edge and shifted at high RPM's to spook the kid. Eyes got wide as dish plates as the kid showed his true colors (guess he didn't like my BOV). Car<Pedestrians. A lesson I hope he learns before he tries another jump out at an oncomming car. Lucky I didn't hit him though.. kid was a retard but I didn't want to really hit him, and more importantly damage my car. I'm probably in the wrong but whatever.

 

Funny thing i never had anybody try to take me on or revv etc... in the 10 months i have had my evo and it isnt stock (I guess i look so intimidating??) but i did try to get a new convertible porsche to give it a go today he didnt pansy!!!!

 

Was it a boxster? Those things were pretty slow in Germany so they have to be slower here in the US. The stock evo 8 was rated faster then some of the Porsches. Most people who drive the expensive euro cars usually don't try to race anyone, ether they humble or don't want their egos hurt. Most people don't know Porsches are really Volkswagons. And I know most people who own an import would love to drive across the face of the guy who does the "unpimp my ride" comercial, even if I didn't own an import, I'd still find that guy annoying.

 

Yeah, but so are Bentleys and Bugattis.

 

This same kind of thing happened to me a while back. Some dumbass yo homie kids were walking across 3 lanes in downtown Bellingham in the middle of the block. They all had the "I'm too cool to stop for traffic" look until I shifted. All 3 stopped and jumped back out of the center lane (lane I was in). And people say loud BOV's don't do anything...

 

i wouldnt waste my time with a boxter.

 

LOL yeah boxters are crap. I always get kids trying to race me mostly honduhs but every now and again, when i am real lucky, and everything happens just perfect, I'll get a VW...lol I hate teenagers.

And evogelion your my hero, thats the funniest thing I have heard in a while, even though its a little unsafe, funnier than hell.

 

I was thinking about trying to run down a Ferrari I saw on I-5 by Ft. Lewis...sad part was I had my groceries in the trunk and wife riding shotgun....she doesn't exactly smile on me driving crazy...LOL

 

I live in Lincolnwood and the people around here are very interesting. The people with fast cars when they see me at the light don't bother me, but the old bastards, shiiiieeeet. Man these people I think lost their mind. I had old people iun Buick, Cadillac, Toyota Camry....etc. wanting to race. I think the Evo brings out the worst in people. This is some really ****ed up **** forgive my french. I think I am going to mount a camera in my car and show you what I am talking about.

 

when I first got the EVO I ran across a CRX on the freeway my buddies GSX got owned and I got put in my place after that, it must have been boosting hard flames where shooting 2 feet out his exhaust when he shifted, oh well the car was sick and he's got some kill stories, not my thing to act up like that but the car looked easy to take...

 

Well we just got done with autocross today. On our way back, one of the corvettes from autocross, got behind me in the middle of our little convoy back into Puyallup. The old guy drivin ether playing around or making fun of me as we went around corners. He'd drop back around corners but be instantly on my rear after the corner ended. The car had some serious horses. I'm sure he saw me at Autocross even though I was camera man and didn't race but damn.. We tried to have some fun on the way back with the snake curves and turns through the pass but we ended up behind a geo metro. Funniest thing about the drive back, was at the turning lane into safeway where some guys across from the movie theater yelled "Light em up!" Yelled it about three times.. so thats the word for today, "Light em up!"

 

I had a run in with a black 06 mercedes e55 amg the other day on Pacific highway in federal way....had hurt feeling till I read the thread about it being the fastest production car on the market. But yea....it seems like every kid in a honda or acura that pulls up next to ya wants to race....I just wave and keep on keepin on. Had some chick pull up next to me in a cavalier, took off from the light, I stopped at the speed limit, she got pulled over...That was a classic kodak moment

 

2006 Mustang pulled on me today, got me really surprised I didnt know those things are so fast. I am at ~400WHP, so that was enough to make me wanna upgrade even farther. LOL.

 

Every damn day......

i drove up north of seattle last night and it was like peole dont understand i am not a mad tyte drifftor* yo that does crazy **** on the freeway.

if it isnt little kid in his mommies mini van, it is joe blow in his schucks modded isle car, or the asshat that just thinks you an *** for having a car that he can here over his talk radio.

then i also get profiles by the POPO, with really doesnt bother me, but yesterday i got followed for 8 miles on post, in to my parking area, and then he sat there waiting to see if i was just trying to ditch him, or if i was going to go to work.....

 

people will always taunt the evo.

however, my revenge is to taunt the vw's, hondas, etc. with an 04 S55 AMG. the look on their face when it takes off is priceless. Seriously, a car that big is not suppose to be able to go that fast. LOL
