I was commuting to work today and pulled up at a red light next to a silver Integra. When it seemed to me like the light was just about to change, it must have seemed that way to the other driver as well, because the 'teg lurched forward and

stalled out.

Then we sat at the light for another couple of minutes

and when it turned green I took off as normal, and the integra was unusually slow . . . from embarrasment?

Street racing: stupid.

Maybe he just thought he was in neutral and let go of the clutch?

Seriously!

Revving and inching forward to make the other guy launch and get busted or generally look like a dumbass.

That's great!

street racing is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadd..

although, sometimes its really fun when people egg you on, and you rev up/inch forward, then they go flying, and you take off like normal.. lmao.gif done that a few times in the srt.

also, on the highway, when someone paces next to you, wanting to race, ill act intimidated, chirp the bov a couple times, then slow down and get behind them.

now THAT's a great idea for good fun! Thanks SOCKS! laugh.gif

Now that I have a standard transmission, I can rev without having to shift out of gear/hit the torque converter's stall speed! Man imma have to try that next time I line up at a red light... It can only be more fun if there's a cop hanging about!

somebody revved at me at a stoplight once before. i revved back. guess he didn't notice the cop behind me and as soon as he took off i just hit the hazards and let the cop go right by.

i waved out of the sunroof when i passed them both on the shoulder.
