    The worst one was when I was driving my 240.. All the suspension bits but no go fast bits lol.. Anyway I had some guy in a brand new ctsv with some mods want to race.. So I pushed the od button(auto) to make the exhaust loud and put my head back into the head rest to make it seem like I actually was pushing the gas lol And watched him floor it and then he had to lock up his brakes and almost hit the guard rail before almost plowing into the car in front of him.

    Theres a good bedtime story for everyone lol enjoy :)

    What is it about wagons that makes the D-bags want to race? Enkeis, roll bar, Sparco seat, exhaust, etc on my Miata and no one bothers me. Drive a Volvo wagon with rimz-n-tint and every wanker in Eau Claire thinks I'm game. I don't own the car anymore but when I did I felt I was always being hassled by FWD mafia.

    True story:
    EK Civic in standard rice ball trim pulls up and revs loudly at me. The guy has his GF in the car and they're both smirking. I've got my wife and both kids in my 850 wagon (turbo, debadged). The kids are cheering for me to kick his ass. I proceed to do so. The wife says to me "Ok, back off before his girlie dumps him".

    Right when I say no one has ever wanted to race me, someone does. Some high school or college student in a mid 90's chryler something dove up real fast behind and got next to me and rev'ed his engine at me 3 times while we're going 70 mph on 35E in Eagan. I wasn't gonna waste my time/hp on that. Must be my new loud exhaust and mufflers and fat mud flaps that made him want to race me. Me no racing you, Me just cruise

    Not a problem there. Cars with spinners are rarely capable of speeds greater than 30 mph.

    hehe --- wanker....

    i hear that a lot about the 850's/v70's, all it takes is a little tint/debadging and people come out of the woodwork.

    I don't get much interest in the bugeye, but with no wing,tint, stock wheels, and car seats it doesn't really surprise me nor do i want attention.

    The s60r though, it's practically once a week all summer when on 35w/10 since the volvo has big brakes and oem body kit. Usually it's an older accord/civic/legend that sounds far from being tuned properly. It's always when i'm moving on the highway too. The least they could do is take my fat pig of a car at a light and not when my car is strongest with plenty of boost at the ready.

    I never race as cheap insurance and clean record trump showing you what i already know will happen should i race your improperly maintained car- i know what my car is and isn't capable of doing. I'd rather save the money for my slowly growing track fund and keep roads safe out there. I prefer to nod at other enthusiasts acknowledging interest/respect of others' cars-even if they aren't always my cup of tea.

    In all seriousness, that's my typical response as well. To assume that someone that you perceive as egging you on wants nothing other than to hear your car or see what it's "capable of" is presumptuous and rather smug. Sure, sometimes people really are baiting you into a street race, but until it's clear that that's their intent, I usually give a nod or a wave then go about my way.

    Now that you got those baller wheels my prediction is you'll become a civic/srtf4ster/everythingunderthesun magnet. Before you know it you'll be sucked into the street racer life, living your life one frumroll at a time and will consequently start chasing after big power. It's the Subaru way ;)

    I race people all the time, they just don't know we're racing so normally I win and keep my ratio higher.
