i figured since i've only raced once, and i lost. i started coming up with some excuses. feel free to use them, comment on them, or improve on them, or make up new ones to the list. enjoy!
<ul>
<li>i'm running rich
<li>i smoked'em in first, second and third
<li>i was granny shifting
<li>HE HAD NOS!
<li>his wing obviously gave him an advantage
<li>my VW Beetle tires were made by Firestone and fell apart
<li>my tranny dropped
<li>hear that whining noise? that means my car broke
<li>the horse on the back windshield added too much weight
<li>i missed 2nd gear
<li>i wasn't watching the light
<li>i forgot to shift
<li>i was shifting at 2 grand
<li>i topped out at 70
<li>he was double clutching and stuff
<li>my car was so powerful, it snapped the axles
<li>his cars bodywork was ****ing with the wind aerodynamics of my car, there was no way i could catch up
<li>my engine blew up, the smoke is invisable, honset.
<li>i was too busy getting a hummer
<li>there was this sucky song on the radio and it messed with my groove
<li>i was getting something out of my toenail
<li>my laptop was in the passenger seat, and I GOT MAIL! so i was distracted
<li>it's a show car baby, not a go car
<li>my parking brake was on
<li>i forgot to turn off my A/C
<li>i saw a cop! honest!
<li>my girlfriend was weighing down my car
<li>there's junk in my trunk... too much weight
<li>everytime i revved my engine, my volt meter would go up and i got mesmerized by it
<li>my foot slipped off the gas pedal
<li>it was in neutral
</ul>
what other people have come up with
<ul>
<li>my car is freaking slow
<li>trash can for an engine
<li>i ran outa gas
<li>i didnt feel like trying
<li>But you have more cylinders
<li>My car is FWD therefore slower by default
<li>A chipmunk ran out into the road so I slowed down
<li>I wasnt filled up with race gas (excuse works best with NA cars)
<li>My car used less gas in the race than yours did
<li>You are faster straight line but I bet I can out-handle your car (works great if your suspension is still stock)
<li>It was too dark outside and I forgot to take my sunglasses off so I couldnt see well
<li>I was trying to eat pork rinds while driving and got crumbs on the shifter
<li>My other car's a Viper
<li>My friend would beat you
<li>I haven't broken in my tires yet
<li>I don't have performance tires
<li>I was too busy talking on my cellphone
<li>Oh, you mean we were racing? Pfft....no wonder you think you beat me
</ul>
then for all you good sports out there, this this one
how about be a good sport, and just say, nice race man, what you got done to your ride, then shoot the shit with him, if i win and some one does that, i usally make a new buddy, that how i meet a few of my good freinds...
