How I beat a Porsche Carrera
...with my 1996 Acura Integra LSWe started on a turn. My car churning away, his car purring like
a cat. I looked at him. Young. Too young. Obviously
either not his car, or not his money. Scorn touched his face as
he looked at me and my car -- both ragged and worn from the day and in
need of a serious bath.The arrow switched green.
VROOOOOOOOM! He sped off on the turn, zooming along the empty strip, as
I methodically released my brake and accelerated at a gas-saving rate.As I watched him driving down the empty strip towards the intersection
light, I thought to myself. "Please turn red, please turn red."It didn't turn red.
But, as fate would have it, he then slowed down and stopped behind another car waiting to turn left.
As I passed his car I slowed down, looked into his eyes and smiled. Then, I drove past the finish line.
I won.
And the light was green the whole time.
It really amuses me when people
press their gas really hard on a green light, when you just catch up to
them at the next light anyways.
What things do you do to amuse yourself while driving?
Comments (62)
tease other people into "racing" ..and then slow down.
Oh yeah, you go girl! Integra FTW!
or.. i drive purposely slow to annoy the drivers behind me, especially when theres only one lane. weee.
damnit, i got beat by the kwazy fweak!
muaaaaaaaaaahaha
i stick my fingers in my nose and see how many people notice me and give me faces.
twice! =O
haha. he's lame.
Where have you been?! I dont have a car yet....
will do.
just that i don't have your #. hahahaha
Yeah I can drive but I dont make enough money for car payments and what not.... at least that what my mom says. lol I have about 2k in the bank but I know I'd only get a crappy car that will break down in a month. I dont need that drama.
hahahaha...
I don't drive... but i sit in the car and watch the other ppl driving their car. Most of them are unhappy (because I'm zooming past in the car pool lane and they are stuck in the traffic jam). Only once did I saw someone smile whole-heartedly singing along to his favorite song in the middle of the traffic. I also saw some people picking their nose thinking that no one else is watching and really going at it!
Yupperz, that's how I amuse myself while "driving" hahahaha... >.<" Thank God I have people who love me enough to drive me around, without them I'd get stuck walking everywhere or busing everywhere...
the norcal people are coming down this weekend again. you're welcome to join us.
i already told her!!!! okay, wasting time now. back to work. heh.
see ya sat girl.
i flirt with asian girls in '96 integras by racing them in my porsche... ^^
pick my nose
pick up hitchhikers
pick my seat cusion for lint
pick on pick-up truck drivers
If a song I happen to like is playing in my car.... I will on a occasion roll down my window and serenade them, if their window is down also.
hii :]
Good job !
We're trying to beat the NEXT light....those traffic engineers don't time lights correctly! At least not from my perspective.
I always try to not have to stop and be able to keep my coast on as loooooooong as possible.
Its like a game of strategy.
sort of like parchessi
Except not.
Ryc: Hey, I think we're on the same thing!
haha sweet race. i had an Integra LS too before i got my mustang. but props on the victory!
hahahah yeah!!! happens all the time. so i take my time as to not look like the ass either.
it is just as the commercial/advertisment says: speeding does not pay.
--it shaves a few seconds but is it worth the risk?
a resounding : "YES" is my answer
rock out to the radio, daydream miles away cause its faster etc...
I dont drive.. I WONT drive. Cars use non-renewable resources, for the luxury of... what?
What?
Exactly what?
Green light, red light, fast car, slow car, can I just see where you stand in your troupe, can I ursup you, can I form an allience, if not, ok, do you have a penis, if you do, is mine larger than yours?
Does that mean my kids will succeed and yours wont?
Who the fuck knows? Wouldnt it be a perfect world if we could lose the cars? Mine already is...
I LOST THE CAR.
I get little civics revving on me...i just stay in fifth as they downshift on the fwy...hit the gas...they pull then...if i'm in the mood, i'll downshift to third...pass them as I hit fourth...put it into fifth and slow down.
) I have a 96 4 door 
) the secret is that it's a gs-r haha
lmao, that's hilarious.
perform open heart surgery.
it always amuses me when i hit the gas on a green light, leave the crowd behind, and cross the intersection just as the light turns stale yellow.
yeah i always laugh when cars accelerate really fast only to be stopped by a slow car or a red light.
I find a freeway with a good flow of traffic and I weave through it artistically.
back in high school, this guy stepped on the gas and went VROOOOOOOOOOOM! only to travel one block... *shakes head* stupid people
I DO THAT, TOOOOO!!!
But I will admit that sometimes I am guilty of racing other cars when I'm in the S2000. But when I'm driving the Insight, I'm the model of a perfect conscientious driver. And it always amuses me when I catch up to the guy at a stoplight who was tailgating me just a few minutes before. It's even sweeter when I pass them up in traffic - because I know how to pick the lanes that are going slightly faster. How embarrasing is that... to get passed up by a 3-cylinder hybrid. LOL
I listen to music to amuse myself and make driving fun. [I know, I am soooo original]
haha funny story
if you did THAT to a carrera with some young punk spending daddy's cash in the front seat.. 2 thumbs up
i make signs and stick 'em on my window...silly stuff like "Honk if you spank your monkey daily <3" ...its a bit unnnerving how many ppl honk.
i try toidentify every single car i pass on the freeway by make n model.
i think it started out as a game, but now it's basically cop-spotting training.
u hardcore racer you!!! teach me . =)
put a whoopie cushion under hitchhikers
lol, the simplest things in life are always the most amusing.
btw upgrade ur car :p
i like to make car noises while i drive....i got it from aydongbeeleef. blame him. oh, and i race people, and they don't know it.
drive slow if theres a car behind me and a red light in front of me
My uncle did that today....sped up to some insane speed to pass a car and a truck, but then had to slam on the brakes when the light turned red. -__-'
nice.
good job.<3
haha! That happens here DAILY! I just sing away in my car and watch them either ride on my tail or pass me by. Im too old to race anymore. haha.
Parcheesi with cars. What next?
usually when riding with someone else, I flip off the really mean looking people with thier convertible tops up on a nice sunny day. This really bothers me, when people have a convertible and it's sunny out... but they can't be bothered to enjoy it.
When riding by myself (in driver's seat lol) I roll all the windows down (during the summer or I'd freeze !!) and turn up the radio really loud. It's fun to see the dirty looks until they realize it's a 5'3" girl in a beat up original VW bug.... Then they look really pitiful. It cracks me up.
I wear a dread lock wig and big sun glasses and yell "WHAT!! YEA!! OK!!" at pedestrians while driving.
That wasn't exactly the most exciting thing I've heard all day. Sorry.
geez..i just sing in the car!
so are you gonna hang out w/ us this weekend????
i cant believe that your car beat a porsche carrera! My dad drives a porsche cayenne
so can u look at my site, richgy911?
and maybe get some friends to check it out too?>
rock on chic =)
don't you love the simple satisfactions of life?
I decided long ago that I couldn't be "responcible" enough to drive. (that was before I learned I had ADHD)
Passing Lamborghinis and Ferraris at 160mph waving and smiling at them as they look at me incredulously.
That is because they want to burn up all those gasoline so they can fill up again at the next station
ha thats hecka tight.
it's the best when there are only 2 lanes and you pick the slowest car in the lane next to you and drive at their speed so no one behind you guys can pass.
Street racing makes it hard for children to play in the street. >=[
noyt kool
kimtegra ftw.
