I’ve had a similar problem lately.... My exhaust has developed a leak, and it’s been getting worse...now my Saab sounds like it has the world’s worst fart can. A couple days ago I passed by an old Integra that was lowered with non-matching aftermarket rims and tons of stickers (you know the type) on the highway. The…

Did the Model X dissapoint?

Sweet, looks awesome :D

I drive a WRX with the SPT exhaust (Though looking to get the Corsa to get rid of the drone). Every idiot thinks I’m going to race them, even while I have my 3 year old in the car. It’s embarrassing the amount of stupidity and inferiority complexes in the ‘car scene’.

One time a guy in a Civic thought I was trying to race him in my V6 Fusion, when I certainly was not. I was gunning it every time the light turned green. The real reason? My wife and I were leaving a Mexican restaurant and I was having a “medical emergency” and desperately needed to get home. My description doesn’t…

Having spent the better part of 3 months tracking down the 4 vacuum leaks on my Saab... this comment got me.

Seems a Civic driver thing. Doesn’t matter what I’m driving, my Voyager, my F250, or my built Acclaim (before I sold it), I always have some ricer Civic wanna race. Funny part is the Voyager stock makes more power, and far more torque than even a swapped Civic.

I seem to always get kids trying to race my F250 when minding my own with a car on the car hauler behind me.

I get you’re trying to make a point because of the topic on hand, but you can’t dislike driving that much if you have a modded speed3(awesome car btw :) and are reading an automotive website. I think you’d be better saying you don’t like the actions of drivers themselves.

I get those idiots all the time when I’m driving. It’s like some switch goes off in their brain that says “His dick may be bigger than mine, must drive like a fucking idiot to prove my worth as a man. Nearly killing a family of 4 in a Corolla was well worth the extra car length and 2 second head start I gained.”

I, too, have a similar issue, except it’s slightly different (and in my opinion, even more stupid). I drive a 32 year old Hilux with some mild performance mods (mostly so I can keep up with the normal pace of traffic, along with stuff for 4 wheeling), but it’s still very very slow. Unfortunately it’s also quite loud…

“The whistles go WOO WOOOOO!"

Easy: Street racers are afraid. At the track you’re up against guys who actually know what they’re doing. At the track your Dodge Challenger is going to get its ass handed to it by a Miata. Easier to pretend you’re #1 on the street than to be #34 at a track day.

You’re just driving the wrong car. I never get a sideways glance in my GTO. Ricers don’t know what it is, Mustangs are scared or think it’s too slow to bother. And Corvettes...well, they’re corvette drivers. I get compliments from time to time, but no races. Which is fine with me.

Different car, same outcome: I drive an old Galaxie with mags, a cam and glasspacks, and almost every time I take it out some lunkhead starts revving up his Mustang or whatever next to me at a light. Look Falfa, this isn’t American Graffiti, it’s a main street in New York City.

“Licence and registration, please”

Ricers are hilarious :)

You think that's bad, try having a corvette with an obvious cam in it. EVERYONE wants to race.

I would get those idiots pretty frequently just because of the MS3 badge.

Eew. I’ve never understood people who race through traffic. Just plain stupidity, and the main reason why I never race anyone on the street anymore. Even if you pull up well before you encounter any other cars, they could keep going and kill someone and you’ll be held at least partly responsible.
