Ok, so I had this car follow me for about 3 miles on the highway. And it only had three lights (whould have had four). From the shape of the lamps I could tell it was an Acura. Either an Inegra or a Vigor. I wasn't sure.

Well, the whole time, he was going much slower than I was. And I was only going the speed limit. So finally he speeds up. Passes me, I let him. Didn't care. But then he started going slow again. Right in front of me. And I could see the coffee can nailed to the back of hist ricemobileSo I waited behind him like I do anyone going under the speed limit in the speed lane. Tailing a little close behind of course.

Finally He moved over and got in the other lane. And then he dropped behind me tailing me. Like I was slow doing 10 over.

The road finally opened up and he jumped into the other lane. The whole time he was wanting to race me. I just laughed, and gave him the thumbs down. I wasn't going to kill my good gas mileage for him.

Does having aftermarket fog lights make me a street racer?

So he started to speed up and try and pass me again. Just to fuck with him, I gave it a little gas. I matched his speed and locked him behind a semi:) And of course, he jumps in behind me again. He continues to tail me close behind.

I assumed he would try and get ahead of me. At this point in the high way, there is a merge on, and it turns into three lanes. So I started to slow, and matched speed with a semi and a pickup truck:D He sure got pissed.

But that wasn't the only reason I slowed, this is also the most patroled section of highway in the state. And about 5 seconds after that, I saw a guy get pulled over. So I was doing it for my own good... It just had other benifits too:lol:

Stupid little Integra.


But what I did learn, is that you can't really hear rice cans dircetly behind them, but as soon as you move to the side, man! That would put a weed wacker to shame:disappoin

I had the same kind of thing with a GTV6 the other day. I was actually impressed the way this thing pulled. He kept trying to get in front of me.... and I wasn't going to go out of my way to let him in. So once there was a good spot that I could get over and not have to change speed.... I pulled over a lane.... and he took off all pissed. If he wasn't such a pansy he could have just pulled across the lanes.... there was plenty of room. I was 75 in a 65.... i wasn't going to speed up so he could be happy.

It's a car with only one headlight. It's some dumb made up car game. Everytime you see one, you yell it out. And everyone else in the car has to take off one item of clothing.

But it does pass the time nicely on long drives with girls:D (Odly, it has been girls that suggest it:eek: )

Thos Tiburons are tight! And top end $20,000. Cheap!

HAHAHAH!!! The redlines are jokes. Saturns will still be plastic.

However, Hyuandi is currently the fastest growing company. And they get really good mileage. My paren'ts have two. Peppy too:)

I like my 2 better than both personally. There are just so many cars I would take over a tib... rx7, supra, mr2, 3kgt..... and so on... for around the same price. Only thing is... I guess the tib would be new. I like mid-90's cars better than just about anything on the market these days. Thats when all the cars were bad ass.... MR2, supra, 300zx, rx7, eclipse, talon.... boost and rwd or awd. Can't beat that.

Man, what are you smokin'? Tibs are $20,000 top end. An Auto MR2 starts at $27,000. Supras, for a MK3 are like $40,000 for low miles.

And Tibs look wicked pimped out and orange. Yes, I said it, orange!

*But yeah, I rather have an MR2 anyday:D

:confused: :confused: :confused:

You can find a used mr2 turbo for around 20-25k canadian... unless you're thinking about the MRS?

I also agree, I'd take an mr2 over a tib any day, but keep in mind that in order to find a deuce for the same price as a tib it'll be at least 12 years older.

I'm not up on all my MR2 info. Whatever the current model is that Toyota has out. I was looking at a Spider the other day in the show room (while I was picking up some parts) and it was $27,000 for one with "performance shifting". That's high man.

Yeah, $25k is around $30k USD. Which is still really high. That's like the price of a brand new SVT Cobra. Which I would take over all of them:D

25K Canadian comes out to around 30k USD

And an SVT Cobra is $32,000USD fully loaded band new. Not much off of $30,000.

You can pick up Cobras for $25,000 will low miles.
