To a race on the street? This crap happens everytime I drive it seems.

I drove the accent today first time in a couple of weeks or whatever and drove for I'd guess 30 minutes all together, and had a guy in a porshe, and a silverrado wanna go from a stop light.

It gets irritating. Street racing = teh stoopid.

Anyways, how often does it happen to you?

In my Firebird, it was CONSTANTLY. If I'm on the road for more than a few minutes it's virtually guaranteed.

Accent, occasionally. Probably one in 20 trips out someone tries to race me.

Tiburon, occasionally, but more than the Accent. Maybe one in 10 trips out.

It has gone up dramatically since I installed the under axle a couple weeks ago...... in a matter of time I'll be back to my sleeper status, with a brand new stock looking exhaust. Then I bet people will leave me alone again smile.gif

Every day, but here cops are not the coolest people to have to confront. So i play it safe and grandy shift every where. Plus most teh guys here are silly Navy kids in super Ricer-Rony status. Like the hot air intake, cut springs so they bouce everywhere they go, and a stock exhaust except for a fart can welded on the back. Plus they have to have the 5 inch monster tach with a shift lite! lol
