Honda civic tried to run me

I had to go pick up pizza for dinner last night and I decided to take the t/a.I get out on the highway and start to cruise at 55 and all of a sudden I see these litlle lights darting around the cars behind me.He got up next to me and it was a g*d awful neon green civic with a 5-6"tip sticking out of the back,so I got scared at that point The light turned red so we stop an he was reving the crap out of it and he started gripping the steering wheel like Vin Diesel.The light turned green and he took of like bottle rocket,I just left like normal as I was shaking with fear,then I see hazzards,what was that all about,it wasn't even a race.So about a mile down the road I get next to him again(I though he had turned off already).I see him and his friend looking at my car smiling and reving again,my windows are tinted so you can't see in the car.At that point I said,ok,I'll go now.The light turned green and I just wasted him off the line and just pulled away even more from there.As I was turning intothe pizza place I looked over and the driver and his friend didn't even look over.I see this car up by work so maybe one day I will mess with him some more.It wasn't a worthy kill,just funny.

If you're going to make up stories, at least make them good. 6" muffler tip? Let's be realistic. My favorite part was how you were cruising 55 mph and luckily for you two, the light turned green. At least give a little effort.

This is why I dont street race no matter how tempting. Imagine if you lost, how sad would that have been?

They are different places though. Now how close is the next pizza place from them? 2-3 miles I bet.

It's just a terrible effort of exaggeration and excitement. Good kill I guess.

Beating a honda is always a good kill when they are almost stock and rev at a trans am who obviously isn't stock.

I was being sarcastic.Like I said,it wasn't a worthy kill,just think it's funny how all of the guys with even stock imports around here rev at everybody.My neighbor has an early 80's accord 4 door and he doesn't even have exhaust and he says he can beat me.He tried racing an ls1 z28 the other day.

No, the car he raced had a muffler. Assuming that the muffler was the only upgrade to the car, then it is ALMOST stock. Care to re-read?

Assuming it even had a muffler and not just a tip.


Anyway, thanks for trying to amuse us with this story. I've decided that I'd rather you make the effort than not. You can have 1 gold star.
