does this happen to you?, whenever you are in your teener Options

and you're at a stop light, 2 things either happen... it's usually,

1. "hey! cool car!"
2. They start revving their engines and want to race!

This happens all the time to me here in good ol Bremerton, WA!

I crack up, because even though deep in my heart I know our cars are a low end Porsche model, they assume it's a race car....All they see is the Badge and in my case, P O R S C H E on my sides and all of a sudden "ITS ON!"

Just wondered if this happens to you....

CYA at the stop lights!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving-girl.gif)

Yep...one night in particular, it was a POS early 80's monte carlo that the two high school age nimrods likely resurrected out of the backyard of their step-mom's mobile home. We were at a stoplight, they start revving that junker, and I turn to look and shake my head 'no'. Light goes green and they tear off. It takes them about a 1/4 mile to notice I didn't take the bait, so they slow down and we meet again at the next stoplight and try again. It was a rather nice evening so I had the lid off and they had their windows down. The nimrod in the passenger seat tries to talk trash and get me to race. I again tell them 'no thanks'. Light goes green, they tear away, I drive off as normal. The next light is where i'm turing onto the interstate and it was green. Dumb and dumber have again slowed down, but I have had enough of them so I speed up and pass them while merging onto the exit lane. The dive in behind me. I'm sure just about everyone here who has driven a 914 understands the simple pleasure of the 270 degree onramp (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) The suggested speed limit was 25. Not wanting to be near a junked out monte carlo any longer, I took the turn at a much greater speed and the monte carlo attempted to keep up. I'm not sure what exactly happened, but he appeard to make slight contact with the concrete retaining wall. I laughed even though it probably brought bad karma (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/spank.gif) From what I could see, the contact with the wall didn't do enough to make them stop and get out. They kept driving up the ramp, just at a slower speed....

Now I don't even try to acknowledge another car if they are acting like they want a street race. For some odd reason, it is almost always a redneck in a ratty old monte carlo. Around here, the 2 fast 2 furious crowd will usually just look at my teener with an expression of 'WTF is that?'
