I was driving through town last night and this stupid kid with a riced-out Civic stops at the red light next to me. This was a four-lane road intersecting a two-lane cross street. There were two cars turning left into the lanes in front of us, then a few going straight through the intersection from both directions. The light basically cleared the lanes out in front of us.

At about the exact moment he stopped, the kid in the Civic looks at me and starts revving his engine, which really sounded like crap through the Fart Can (tm) exhaust that he was rolling.

Normally, I would have taken this opportunity to show him the coupe's taillights from a distance, but not this time. My radar detector was repeatedly going from no alert to full power K-band: instant-on radar just around the slight bend in front of us. I looked at him, and shook my head 'no'. He revved his engine up a few more times. I even went so far as to make a hand gesture of 'five-o', and pointed down the road. Kid revs his engine again.

The light turns green and he takes off, barking the tires a bit, then the engine struggling to get the little car moving. Fart Can really sounded bad now, but he was rapidly approaching the speed limit. He just kept accelerating, even though it was evident that I wasn't racing. I pulled away, driving like a grandpa, and I can see the red & blues start flashing on the apartment building 1/2 a mile ahead of me.

Owned!

I don't get it - I tried to warn him but he did it anyway. My date looks at me and says, 'What a douche bag!'. I laughed my *** off, as I didn't expect this from her. As we passed him and his new friend, we were both just laughing when he looked at us.

Thought I'd share that with all of you!

It happens everywhere, hell there are even those "douchebags" on this forum who do the same crap with the A/C at every chance they get. (You know who you are), we'll never get away from it, but hell even I had the best laugh ever when I smoked a fart can civic with my Titan...we're all guilty sometimes.

Haha, I ususally do the same and then if the other guy's window is down I ask if we can stop at a gas station afterwards so he can pay for the gas I just wasted That generally gets bad vibes so I don't waste gas and keep my newfound 26mpg's

A similar situation happened to me. It was when I was 17(i'm 20 now)I was driving my moms 05 Altima and I pulled out of blockbuster and this kid with a Altima 3.5SE started to rev his engine and I shook my head no. I saw a Undercover Malibu just in the next parking lot ahead so I didn't think twice. Plus his 3.5 would own my 2.5 so at the green light he burned out spun the tires left some dust and the DT just pulled out and pulled him over I waas lmao.
