GTcarz - Automotive forums for cars & trucks. - Rice on rice, civic vs celica

Its a bright sunny afternoon and I'm out for a drive in my 92 civic cx hb. Prowling the streets with my girl in the search for food we see one of her old friends pull up beside us. She's in her late model (probably 01) celica and its being driven by a guy I guess is her new boy toy. Now, the civic i'm driving is anything but a looker. Sure, the front end is lowered but its that teal green no one likes, sitting on some 14" rims from my old teg and worst of all it is suffering real bad from the typical honda cancer rust. I guess buddy thought he was gonna impress his girl by smoking my rust bucket. Too bad for him I had just dropped in the new v-tec motor and nicely tuned ecu. Light turns green and he stomps it. I let him get out by a couple lengths then smash it. I catch him at the end of 1st gear, give him a look, a lil hint of smile u could say, bang it to 2nd and leave him behind to think about what just happened.

You would think that would be the end of it but it wasn't, he actually wanted to again when he caught upto me at the next light!!! A lil annoyed at the thought and his determination to not stay down I smoke him off the bat. I guess this time embarrassment got the best of him because when I checked my mirrors he his already turning down some side street. Rookie, shoulda known not to try and run a stock celica.
