Know why? Because when I won't race them, they usually just speed up a little bit and continue on their way. They don't weave across mutliple lanes of traffic to try and pass me, they don't risk everything over nothing.

For me, it's not worth the risk. The last thing I would want is to get in a race like that and either me or the other guy wreck, and then my life is ****ed. Jail time, lose my job, lose my home, my life with my fiance. No thanks. I'll keep moving along at my own pace, not trying to prove my dicksize to some dumb ***.

Werd. I just ignore these douches. Anyone trying to race my slow-*** car is too stupid for their own good anyways.

even if you tried to race it would appear that you were ignoring them

Early morning driver.

I am on the road fairly early and sometimes I see some BMW M3's or a corvett, and we kinda open it up a bit. Never sliding across 4 lanes or cutting people off, just using the open road together for some fun. I am not an advocate of braking driving laws, but for those of us with the power damn it is hard not to open it up some times.

I was crusing along once and some guy in an SRT-4 hard a hard one to try and kiss my rear bumper then sweep around me so we would rub paint. I didn't do anything because that would just give him a reason to hurt someone. Even if I wasn't the one that would cause an acident imagine a family with little kids getting wiped out because of some dork showing off beyond his limits. I wouldn't want to even be invovled.

The problem with street racing is that it often not whos car is faster, but who is
the driver willing to take the most risks. Who decides when the finish line is?
Can you pass on the right? On the shoulder? What are the rules? Are there
rules? Often the people who suffer are the innocent other drivers.

I'll admit that I've had my stupid driving moments in the past, so I'll throw no stones
at you for what happened. But the best thing to do is to ignore the fools. At least
once I week I am blessed with the oppourtunity of letting someone "beat" me in
a race that I choose not to do. And I get to keep my license

The fool in the EVO probably went home and told all his friends that he "won"
another street race.

Las Vegas This morning.

We were heading up 15 off the strip and some wacko in a Honda or Toyota swerved in and out of traffic, he swerved around a big truck and clipped the front passenger side. Talk about nuts... He spun out and hit the center devide. They were in on coming traffic but I don't think he took out any other cars, but dang that was stupid. Just goes to show you don't need to be driving a sports car to drive stuoid.
