A few months ago I had the rare displeasure of having my Teg full of passengers (me and 3 other people). I hate having more than 1 passenger because extra weight kills my pulling power (low torque).
Anyway, I was cruisin' down Main St. in Huntington Beach (hotspot) and pulling onto PCH when a Subaru RS of the turbo variety and a Civic SI pull up next to me. My windows are tinted so they couldn't see my 2 back passengers which killed any racing ability my car has......so the guy in the Subaru looks over, says something to his chick sitting next to him, and says something to me about a "couples" race. I'm assuming he saw the chick sitting next to me, so for laughs I raced, but I tried to tell him it would be not contest since I got 2 peeps in the back, but his window was up because the light turned green. We went, and I kept up decently but he won, and the Civic SI pulled about even with me. At next light he saw I had 2 more people in the back and was a gracious winner, we yelled Peace and went on our respective ways.
Later that night me and just the chick were cruising on over to Starbucks and my friend was riding next to us in his sweet Eclipse. A black GSR w/ some mods revved, and we all gunned it at the light. Me and eclipse quickly pulled ahead of GSR and I ended up pulling ahead of my friend (was there any doubt?)

Later that night, just for good measure a red 2nd gen Teg w/ a VTEC swap pulled up next to me and threw some good natured revs. The lady riding with me said "smoke 'em!" so we did a rolling launch and more or less kept even............being that I had 3 races and 5 individual cars that I raced that night, it was a good night because i never get hit up to race, and usually never race even when hit up.
