Default Does everyone want to race me in my SC?

For some reason unknown to me, most of the HONDA CIVIC'S on the road, down here...wants to race the mighty "400"...

Question??? Is this a common problem with folks wanting to challenge the SC 400??

My SC400, is a keeper..what an awesome vehicle...

for me it's mainly Scion TCs. I hate those ****ty cars, everyone has one and there slow as ***** and get barely better mileage than the SC

**and you have a VVTi SC4 like me..dont waste your time on a 4 banger

I get the exact same thing here in Vancouver, just yesterday in fact. I didnt even press my pedal half way and I got in front of him. Obviously buddy wasnt modded, but I get kids with riced out Honda's staring me down all the time. I dont even bother..

Heh funny story, I had a guy in a Scion with WA plates pass me in the oncoming lane. When I pulled up next to him at the light he wanted to race, as soon as the light turned Green he got pulled over by an unmarked. Just goes to show that being an idiot doesn't pay off..

I guess with summer approaching we should expect more of this?

A couple weeks ago I encountered 1 ricey POS civic hatch on the freeway. This was after 2 hours of waiting by the side of the road after my accident. SO I was fuming and that guy was pissing me off. Needless to say I burned him. Like 5 minutes later after I returned to traffic speed I see his little car go buzzing by at "full speed."

Yea don't waste your time on them.
