Baiting....
The wife and I were crusing around yesterday and twice we pulled up at stop lights with little Riced-out Hondas. I would casually blip the throttle so the guy could hear the Power Effects exhaust to see if they wanted to play.
Both times I got one furtive look and then totally ignored. When the light changed both times they just eased off so it was obvious they weren't racing.
The wife started calling me a bully for picking on the "poor little cars" :lol: She was getting a kick out of it... she used to yell at me when I spanked the ricers in my truck, but now she thinks its funny... go figure... :crazy:

Hmm, sounds like me but around here they actually try. Which makes it all that much more amusing. I'll part throttle it in first because if I don't I've just got wheelspin, then I'll put it in second get on it for just a second, then let off and settle back down to the speed limit. To make themselves feel better they have to do the "ricer fly by" and start driving like a real butt, weaving in and out of traffic ahead and such.

Maybe I'll buy a Fast & Furious model to put behind it... you know.. a realistic diorama ;)

I guess the Fast and the Fart piped..I mean Furious movie has finally wore off these folks. I bullied a couple of ricers last month and they didn't want to go like they did last year. :lol:

Re: Baiting.... (Preacher)
I'm not into the "Ricer" scene, but damn if they aren't fast.....those guys do some amazing things with a 4 cyl. engine.....must give respect, where respect is due.......guess if I were young again...I'd give them a try.....the sound they make at wide open throttle sure isn't a V8.......
Would I race one?????? No, because I'm in a different place than them....and my place is simply wonderful.....have no time to screw with them.....
Just my humble thoughts....
