Local Ford Focus
There's a guy who drives a Ford Focus with the large wing and coffecan exhaust, that has revved at me in my vette
. I was behind him today picking up our kids at school, Large amounts of blue-gray smoke coming out of his muffler
. I guess he riced, I mean raced it a little too hard.

Funny stuff. My wife and I also have a 930 Turbo Porsche and it's amazing how many ricers want to race. The "fart can" exhausts that they seem to have such a love affair with really crack me up. One part of me just wants to light em up and whoop the crap outta them but then the adult side kicks in and talks me out of it. It's hard to do but then again I will probably live longer by not getting baited. Either way, owning a C-3 chrome bumper car comes with its own satisfaction that only another C-3 owner can truly appreciate and I pity the ricers for not having the wisdom to experience it. Happy motoring Sir!

Funny - when I'm in the Z it's the ricers that want to play with me. If I'm in the '82 it's the Mustangs; especially the newer ones that want to play.
Regardless, when I'm in the '82 I just lean back and turn up the tunes. When I'm in the Z I ignore them for at least two lights, then it's tail lights!

ricers are funny. They always brag about beating muscle cars, but seem to never want a good race. My friend and i beat a guy in a civic in his charger, we even gave him a 2 second head start, but of corse the charger runs 11s.... someone needs to tell these ricers that 16s @88 IS NOT FAST

yea but its funny when you live in a town filled with ricers and you got the only decently done up american muscle. all they want to do is race you. and when they see your tail lights for the 3rd time they finally figure it out.
