Mah V-TECH Killer!
Sorry for this rant, but somebody needs to here this.
Today was the last straw for me and dealing with ricers. I can appreciate a nice car when i see one, and this doesn't mean this is 100% of the people who own Honda's or represent anybody on this forum but i can't deal with this shit anymore.
This falls on 90% of Honda's i come across on the road, I drive a completely stock LOOKING Talon, the only thing that you can see it's not stock is my slightly larger tip and my fmic sticking through my bumper. In the last 2 months, i've been revved at, at more lights then i can count on all my fingers and toes all by nice Civic's, preludes, and Integra's (Yes integra's are hondas)
Thats fine, rev at me all you want, i'm not going to race your 54hp one wheeler peeler. But sure enough when the light goes green they take off in V-tec furry.
I've seen 3 accidents caused by these "sick carz brah" because they don't seem to care about any other car on the road. They're choice not mine.
But the thing that gets me the MOST pissed off, is talking to some dumb ass kid who he has what he thinks is the GREATEST car in the world and his fwd Civic with a huge wing and massive ass body kit, could destroy anything else on the road.
At first i would try to keep these guys on ear and not let there head go into the clouds, that doesn't work, then i just tried ignoring them, it also doesn't really work. Now i'm just at the point where i play along. They ask what i drive, i just say a talon, nothing more, they go on and on about how they can just destroy me, i ask them to race on a completely dead road to show me. They brag about how it won't even be close. They say "I've got a 12 second civic" I've seriously heard "When V-TEC his it's over brah." Sorry i go to race city almost every weekend. Do you have any idea how fast 12 seconds is?! Or is it because they heard it on the interwebs other civics running 12's they can. Reality sets in when on the internet 12's really mean 16's.
So i say put 10,20,50 bucks on it i don't care. They shut up, put your money where your mouth is. They have no idea i have a 400hp talon that runs consistent 12.4's and a 1.7 60'. The only time i've gotten one guy to race me and i raced him and he said "You're not in the same league as me" I said.. Uhh? Because i've spent less money then you have? Because my car is older then yours? Or because i don't have ridiculous wings?
I'm so frustrated by the HUNDREDS of people in Calgary it seems to have these cars and drive them like clowns, which is appropriate i guess for the way they look.
Body Kits - Add Weight decrease fuel economy
Wings - More weight, and when you're going around a corner at 160+ that'll take the weight off your fwd car and put it on the rear wheels... wait a minute...
Decals - Steal me parts cars honestly, if you have SONY XPLOD and JVC stickers on your windows of your car, isn't that like telling a theft, HEY HEY look at me!
How do some of you guys deal with this?! I've just started to ignore it all. And anytime somebody brings up V-tec, b16, b18, bwhatever i have to walk away.
/rant.
