My fiance' and I were on our way to play some ParaPara and DDR, when some punk in a 98-00 Si just about blows my doors off. This is a real ricer car, because it's got the "Altezza" taillights on it and a MKIV style rear wing. Elizabeth then asks me my favorite question: "Well, aren't you gonna catch his ass?" (You guys see why I love her?)
So I drop to 4th and hammer down. Probably not THE best idea with an engine that's going south, but hey. I'm reeling him in because he's slowing down a bit. Here's the funny part. It's some Asian KID with his g/f in the front seat grinning like the Cheshire Cat. We do a roll from 65 and he gives NO WARNING before taking off. No honking, no revving, just drops it and floors it. So already he's about 1/2 a car in front of me before I downshift and smash the throttle.
He gets about 2 cars ahead before I start bringing him in. Once I get to about 120, I pass him like he's standing still. Meanwhile, his girl is banging on the dash like a little monkey, all pissed off that her boyfriend couldn't beat a car that's more than a decade older than his.
Cliffs note:
Embarassed a 98-00 Civic Si, and made his passanger look like a monkey.
