My car is a rice magnet

its weird how when you drive a decent car, it usually attracts people you wouldent usually attract. I was pulling out of a gas station the other day when I was confronted by an old nissan sentra. and I DO mean old...So we both roll side by side until we get to a redlight. I stop slowly and cautously, he slams on his brakes, locking the wheels and skidding for 6 feet or so. The light turns green, he revs his engine and does the old "glance over at the other driver for a race" type thing. He guns it and is gone after I take a left turn. It was funny as hell to see that he felt he needed to prove something to me.*sigh* I love ricers....

Yeah lol, first couple weeks after I got my ride, I noticed pimped out pieces of crap always seemed to ride my tail and then try and pass me as fast as they could on the highway.

Took me a sec to figure out they just wanted to try and one up me. But all it does is make me laugh when you hear their engine racing like its at redline and barely passing you, yet your engine is puring along at a nice 2500 rpm.

Now a 3.8L isn't all that, but when you have 1.2L machines trying to act cool, its just sad.

I had some guy in a Sunfire pull to me at a red light and give me the look. He had the big wing and big exhaust pipe. Sounded like a lawn mower. My wife looks at him and started laughing and said get him. Just as the light turned a cop pulled up behind us and he never seen him. He took off in a cloud of smoke and the cop pulled him over. I honked and waved as we went by. It was great.

Hitting your brakes in a camaro is a sure way to get stopped... The whole car goes into a ****** nose dive, so I never slam on my brakes.

Maybe the chicks just wanted to give you their phone numbers, ya meanie! That poor guy was trying to pimp them for ya, and got him a ticket for the trouble.
My Hawk doesn't dip the nose enough to notice easy (Bilstein suspension option), and my CHMSL doesn't have a spoiler or anything to reflect on the car itself, but all those tail lamps light up the backside of every street sign for blocks - hence, engine brake with the easy clutch.

It's not as new to me now, but ricers are constantly pulling alongside (not noticing the plate says OH2 HAWK, duh) and assume I'm a V6 vert (with T/A nose) and burp their sodabottle engine like they want some. When I syncho the gear shift from 6th @ 35mph to 1st @ 35, and they hear the engine, they start looking harder - no WS6 hood, they don't notice the Hawk hoodscoops or heat extractors, they look for WS6 logo by the door, and finally notice "Firehawk" and suddenly the standard "Oh sh*t, it's a Firehawk, sorry dude". It's like the Firehawk is a sleeper for the clueless.
I even had another Hawk vert that was 1 week older than mine say the same thing - I had to explain that with his A4, his could beat mine.

It helps to know most of the police in my town. I graduated with the chief and they all know my car because of the Camaro sticker on the side.
