Default Ricetastic!

I cannot believe this actually happened, not really a race but I must share.

I'm driving home with the gf, minding my business, putting along at 40 mph in 6th and I see some headlights on my ass. I was going to move so he tailgates me for a little then pulls up beside me. I see it's a new SI sedan (with a AEM sticker on the window!). He downshifts and proceeds to initiate a ricer fly by. My girl laughs and so do I. Then, I notice him turning into my community way ahead of me. When I make the left turn I see his car stopped so my first thought is "wow he's really going to be a groupie.." He actually waits for me to get close and when I approach the roundabout, he launches his car (bogging it) and peels off.,, Now the only question that enters the mind is...

WTF!?

I've encountered many a ricer in my 2 years with the S but nothing like this. I need to switch car brands, it was funny the first year but now it's getting old...fast.

Yeah congrats, You were smart enough to not waste your gas on a Civic SI. I do admit that i make stupid mistakes and end up raping them in a street race but that's to put a point through their head but the best way is to laugh it off like you did. Good job :

Coincidence maybe only difference was this guy had no aem sticker he had an injen sticker on the right rear window. LOLS

I like what one guy would always do, rev your motor more and more as the light is about to turn green, but then just take off at a normal pace so the other guy looks like an idiot lol
