I Guess My Car Looks Fast?

[SailDesign]

I won't do stop-light races (no point, really, unless it's a Yugo) but I do love having some a%%hole crawl up my tail befor an off-ramp or a nice twisty, trying to push me faster down the highway, only to have him chicken out when I don't slow down for the curve
I won't race the douches, but it's fun to watch them recede in the mirror.

Driver slows down, and matches my speed right next to me in the slow lane. He gases it enough to set off the BOV. I mind my own business and don't respond. He does it two more times. I finally look (not like I can see anything) and it's raining. Anyway, I ignore the challenge, and keep chugging along. Next thing I know is the driver lowers his window partially and gives me a thumbs down, and exits...anyway, I would think EVO owners know about cars, so I would think the driver would have known that he has almost 3 times as much hp as our cars, and is AWD compared to FWD. So why would he even challenge me in the first place? I would have gotten my ass kicked from the get-go. It was also raining, and I don't street race anyway.

Probably recall my rant about that racer who decided it would be fun to pull into my lane? I don't know if it's because we're confused with FITs or CRXs or what have you.

BTW, lots of sleepers out there. Who knows what someone is going to shoe horn under the hood of a Yaris some day?

IMO you've earn the right to return the (possibly with a bird up) when you see him on the side of the road standing next to his totaled "Tokyo Drift" Evo, which should be quite soon with the way he's acting...

Yeah, he has penis envy

Yeah, why risk damaging my car, hurting others, and getting my car impounded for such a stupid reason. I'm sure he has several street racing tickets by the way he is.

You never see Corvettes racing Sti's or anything interesting like that just Ridiculous Mustangs raping Hondas...

I can't wait for the day that EVO driver gets his ass handed to him by a Yaris or a Honda. That'll be hilarious!

I would've returned the 'thumbs down' with a , and ya did the right thing but not succumbing to the taunt.

Oh, and I think I've told you before, but your car does look sharp! I am sure it was more jealousy than anything else that bruised his little ego, your car is so much better looking that his...hence the "challenge" to restore his little "pride"...

Cheers! M2

Thanks for the compliment.

Not really trying to be an EVO, but just trying to be different

It's one of things I like about myself ever since buying my Yaris - not driving like an idiot!! It's funny what it does to your driving style when you only have 106 ponies or so. I'm sure it's also true with most of you but I enjoy just being a conservative safe driver now and getting my 40 mpg.

My previous car was a '93 [Lexus] SC400 (250 hp V-8). Let's just say when you have that kind of power, it turns on the aggression and you do stupid things.

I like driving the Yaris with nothing to prove. Anyone with a brain should know that and this guy in the EVO is an idiot for thinking you would race him.

That's like someone in a Porsche pulling alongside a Camry and wanting to race.

Seriously. One of the main reasons why I bought a Yaris was because of the fuel efficiency, not the performance.

I like to catch up to these guys at a stoplight, rev the motor, pop ahead a bit, concentrate on the light... they read this as, "the race is ON". Light goes green, they stand on it. I turn right (or left)...

ROFL. That's a good one. I should try that next time. LOL.

Same thing happens to me on onramps. Funny how big the distance becomes, and I'm not even taking the onramp that fast.

I'll find it sad if a person thinks a car with VG's on its roof is trying to be a baby EVO...I mean, the EVO isn't the only car that comes with them:

STi (hawk-eye)


Koenigsegg CCX

I LOVE 3RD GEAR for this reason!! I usually don't brake coming into it.

Come to the Golden Mile in hanover pa, on a friday night once sun sets if you want to see some real douchbags. This is illegal street race night in my town. My one friend beat a Sentra in a race, the next night the beaten car and 4 of his buddies ran my friend off the road cornered him in parking lot and threatened him with basball bats. Every friday is streetracing, people getting caught losing their lisences, but hella nice cars. Also hella douchebags and shit cars. And also alot of big ass diesel trucks with cowboys have been out lately. O and some fine ass ladies.

hahaha, is that because it's on a wing? I'd like to that, but there are no roof spoilers for our sedans
