I'll keep it short, I usually don't post about ricers but I just thought it was one of the funniest things that happened to me this week.
On the way back from work about 15mins ago I stopped at the lights during peak hour traffic and so happened to be the first car there.
I wait for the lights to change and traffic is building up behind me (I am in the fast lane which is the right side) and I see a little car with the works. A serious fart can that is larger than mine (I run a 3" straight through HKS Ti system with a 4.1" out) with stickers ranging from Blitz, TRD, HKS, Type-R, V-tek (yes T.E.K), chinese writing that I don't even know what it means and I am chinese. A serious rice mobile. I have heavy limo smoke tint so I wind down my window so I could point and laugh at the kid and he takes a look at me and revs his car to redline a few times. I guess he was showing me he did have V-Tec or tried to prove to me he could take me on.
Lights turn Green and he spins his FWD echo and takes off, I see him hobble around so I am guessing he hit redline and screwed up a shift so I figure ill let the kid see what my car can do, so I downshift back to 1st from 3rd (Since I was not running my car hard at all) him being about 2 lengths ahead I poped infront of him and changed to 2nd and got him by 8 lengths and let off.
Rolled to the 2nd set of lights which is right next to my house but I need to go a huge detour to get home due to road works. HE rocks up and pretty much orders me to wound down my window. I wound it down and smile and he yells "Good race, Atleast my car can launch better than you". I am like WTF but just smile and asked to race again. He agrees since he believes his rice mobile can launch better than a 400+bhp MKIII Supra.
Lights turn and I launch at 3700RPM and run through first and I am about 4 lengths ahead. I change to 2nd and look in my rear view to see where he is and he dropping fast. Change to 3rd and keep on accelerating just to embaress the shit out of him. I get to my exit and traffic is just after it and I am pretty much the only person near my area so I brake to slow down to 45km/h, downshift to 2nd, down my window and take the corner sideways and I give him thumbs up as he catches up to me at around 80km/h and locks it and follows behind me. I turn off to my home street and he is still behind me and he drives into my driveway with me. Talk to him about 5mins ago (he only just left) and he is one dumbass but I didn't tell him that because he knows where I live now :p
He believes his Echo can take on most new commodres (Aussie domestic cars), and claims to have beaten plenty of imports such as RX-7's, skylines, integras and Supras.
Funny thing is he looks at my driveway and we have 3 cars, A Soarer 4.0L V8 (mums car), S13 N/A Silvia(little brothers) and my Supra. He tells me that he would woop all those cars except mine because I "proved" to him that my car was faster.
Some idiots, the got to learn that adding a huge rear wing, stickers, fart can and other misc. items, does not make your car faster than true cars.
