You Beat What?!?!?

So we all have our moments of grandure. "I wasted this guy in a Z06" or "I taught that 'stang a lesson", but I want to see the races that you're nearly embarrased to say that you won. Basically, tell us about the guy or gal who in thier moment of ego tried to take on your modded or stocker Vulva with a modded or stock "X". Be it a 96 Camry 4 dr with wing and a shift light, or a Chevy Caprice classic with whitewalls and a AARP sticker in the window.

Make the stories short and sweet. Oh yeah, and posting rules dictate that the other guy had to instigate the race, not you wanting to show off.

I'll start.

90 or so Camry 4dr with a body kit and tach and shift light on the dash. At a stoplight he starts revvin it, light goes green, he gets on it, i get on it. NO contest the 850 wagon leaves him handily. But the best part is when he rolls up at 50mph and wont leav my side, like he wants to race from a roll, til i floor it at which point he floors it and goes "backerds".

I know there are some good ones out there, minivans, suvs, gremlins. Come on guys. This could be funny.

I'll take the bait...

see a girl in a yellow cavalier/spitfire "official car of the So. MD stripper" [tin can on the back etc.] swerving in and out of traffic behind me. She passes me in traffic [stop and go between 25 and 65 mph] and then cuts me off, TWICE... awww no she di-ant. I've read in my manual that the power of the Volvo is to be used for "safe passing". Well I didn't feel safe with her in front of me.... so at the next clearing, I safely passed her, and she did what I like to call the "tin can fade-out".

A kid in a new Toyota Corolla CE is weaving in and out of cars and finnaly gets in position behind me, the light goes red and i'm the first at the line. He pulls out from behind me and gets into the lane beside me.... looking forward, I see his lane merges into mine. I know this car because my boss has one.. 130hp and 125 ft/lbs :monkey: as I think about the specs, a big grim comes across my face. The light goes green and I watch him romp on it, I ease through first gear barely hitting 3500 rpm. I switch to second, punch it upto 5000 and watch this kid basically go backwards :D This was back when I just had a K&N panel filter.

At a stop light at the base of a long hill by my house. Full size Chev pickup with glass packs is revving next to me (mid 80's maybe?) My A/C is blowin cold and I'm on my cell phone...I blow him away by many many car lengths to the top of the hill as he gets rubber in every gear...engine just absolutely screaming away.

Funniest part is we both stop at the light at the top of the hill, still on my cell phone, I look over and his truck is totally smoking. He roached *something* to get humiliated by the "grocery getter". hehe

same hill that the SRT4 made me cry for mommy :P

oh oh... this one time I was minding my own business driving down a divided highway and this 'mo [ *cough* gdogg ] in a laser blue R pulls along side me. I look over and he's holding up a sign up with his number on it and he winks at me. I wanted no part of that so I drop to 3rd and lay into it. He pulls up even on me again when I noticed he was holding whip in his right hand and licking his lips. I wanted NO part of that so I let him cruise on by.

There was some mexican guy in a Honda CVCC[think early 80's!] with what I'd call a Sewer Pipe [bigger than a coffee can] on the back w/racing stripes all over revving at me at a light after I pulled up. I ignored him, I didnt punch it but I shited at 4k rpm instead of the normal 3.5k and beat him, I heard the crap being wound out of that poor car the whole time I was ahead of him. He was finally able to get above 50 mph [what I was cruising at] to do some lameass flyby.

saw a guy i know through business on the way home from downtown one night at 2ish(bars close) and we had exchanged words in the past about his black Z06, only one in town at that time, came up to a light next to him, gave a wave and he smiled, gave alot of gas and roasted me like it was goin out of style. wasnt that ashamed to lose that one.

was ashamed to lose to a brand new dodge ram (yes, it was a hemi) whose lane ended and successfully past me in like 60ft, we only raced to about 35mph and it was more of a 'im taking your lane" and i was all "im gonna fight fight fight not to let you.... and lose."

pulling up to a red light and saw a yellow car in front of me

i pulled to the right side, and was going to pass in front since i was in a rush

i realized it was a toyota PRIUS! a YELLOW PRIUS

to make it funnier, it was a taxi cab

the indian man looked at me, then the light went green

i could hear the prius tiny gas engine sputtering as it went along

already in sport mode, i just gunned it and smoked the prius (remember, i have an NA)

at the next light, the prius dude pulls up and fingers me :lol:

Not even 3 hours into owning my current ride I'm on some interstate in Ohio (no offence to you people who live there but what a boring state it is). This kid pulls up next to me with a brand new Grand Am, hub caps and all. He starts revving and rolling back and forth past me at 65. I ignore the kid b/c it would be a waste of time. Well, he continues to taunt me for a good 5 miles or so. So finally, I'm like I need to teach this boy a leason. I finally look over at him and smile. He give me this look like he wants to go so I nod, he hits his horn 3 times and I let him go. I let him get a good half a car on me to make him max the grand am out. Then I let him have it, pulling away like the kid was standing still. I got up to around 115 and backed off and let the kid catch up. He pulls up next to me and I give him one of those moves from Terminator 2 when the T1000 shakes his finger back and forth when they try shooting him. Sure it was a kill, but nothing to brag about hahaha.
