Technology Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Just got my new clutch installed, car's running well and I was on my way home. There was this volvo wagon, the newish squared-off one with bigger exhaust tips and all blacked out, the only badge was "R" on the back. I went by him, switched lanes in a reckless manner, and he followed me. I got over one lane and he started getting next to me, and gave a couple stabs of the gas to make his BOV go off, haha. I got into 3rd, made sure he was ready, and we went for it. Sadly (for him) it was no competition. His wastegate is dumped to atmosphere, and he was on it, but not a chance, lol. And then it was done. I slowed to the speed limit, he came up beside me, he had dark tinted windows so I don't know if he signaled or anything, but his girlfriend was laughing and smiling. That was fun. My car is definitely fast enough to get in trouble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchi934 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 he probably said something along the lines of: "watch me show this guy what a fast car is like" then proceeded to be left by a car he didn't even know what to call, so she was probably laughing at him haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidjc Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 What!... she didn't make the jump into your car? He probably had hold of her passenger arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technology Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 I don't know what it is, but impromptu races like this are rare compared to 7-8 years ago. When my car was stock, everybody and their brother wanted to race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshyBone Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Lol it's always like that. Everyone wants to race you when your slow. Good kill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It get's really tiring wasting my gas on cars that don't have a chance. I think I'm going to take my Starion out of storage this weekend, so hopefully I can cruise around without running into people that expect me to prove something.
