why are u revving on me?

sometimes i really dont get it. many times, i get revved on while the car is on the opposite side of the road passing by. then, i get these V8 domestics trying to race me, inside a NAVY base. WTF? i'm not into street racing. but when some punk kid trying to REV on me just to "show off" cuz there are girls inside his car, it's ON!
then u have ppl who would cut you off if you do not want to race ......or get a "finger" from them. are you one of those peeps?

Ahhh...the mating call of the wussy. Hehe. j/k But seriously...was there a question in there or just venting? Street racing is the shit. It's not as cool as going to the strip...but it's the next best thing.

i really dont have anything against the muscle cars man. i get picked on more to be honest. i can not sit here and say that i never street race. i do, but i try not to do it to every single punk out there...... it's not worth getting a ticket for, not to mention the risk of my life and others.....

If they are driving with you on your side of the road just give them a rolling 60 mph burnout and they usually back off. If not you probably dont want to race them because they got something under the hood.

As you get older you realize how stupid and dangerous street racing really is. They "know" it's dangerous but until they get older or have a serious crash w/ injuries or death they won't learn. Kids are STUPID, especially when their small d!ck is threatened by another driver.

Road Racing is the real deal for me. Sears Point is my favorite road course so far! The carousel is great fun! You are turning your wheel to the left but your car is going to the right when you exit! It's weird at first but I passed a lot of faster cars there like an RX7, S2000, Porsche 968 and so on.

Real racing happens on tracks and road courses.

I get the feeling you have NO IDEA how rare it is to find a chick who races...or even one that is interested in cars for that matter. And if you're hot that just amplifies the effect. My ex girlfriend was all into Mustangs and that was what initially attracted me to her. So just understand that's why guys do double takes. That's also why they assume it's your boyfriend's car.

shit, as far as im concerned, if the car could be fast i'll rev on it, if i feel the time is right. if not, it could be the one car who always talks shit, but as far as freaking out about loosing to a girl, they need to grow up, shit i lost to a girl in a 911, but i took it like a man, even though the car was a small speck in front of me. i guess some ppl just dont understand that cars are fast, not ppl
