[QUOTE="Blown306, post: 1411209, member: 2349"] Yes it's very tempting sometimes...but I never do it because, a) my car can be heard blocks away, 2) my gas costs $3.79 per gallon, and it's not worth wasting that on a ricer, 3) the car doesn't hook unless the tires are good and hot (ET Streets), 4) nine times out of ten, you'll beat them and let off, then they do the "ricer fly by", drive straight home and brag about their kill on all their forums. Actually, very few want to mess with my Bird, they hear the lumpy idle and exhaust, see the cage, street slicks and skinnies, and slowly drive off with their fart can between their legs. Plus, they can have their parents bail them out of jail and get them a new Civic, I have a good job, mortgage, bills, etc, etc that are at risk. The timeslip is the real deal...no arguing the results. Plus, some little kid on bike won't venture out in front of you. To me, it's just not worth it at all. But....I do enjoy some spirited driving on the expressway or back country roads where there's no one around ;-) I just don't agree with running hard on the streets with traffic... Blown96bird...amen brother, you summed it up nicely! [/QUOTE]
