People who do that either don't know, don't care, or do it on purpose. Just a fact of life and it will stay that way unless some drastic changes go into effect on how people obtain a drivers license and the expected driving skill that comes with it.
Unfortunately that will never happen, because a good % of the population would never be able to get a drivers license if that was the case, both skill and cost. The governement official(s) that would be responsible for that are thinking next term elections and what's PC, not what's good for our nation.

That just decides that they have the fastest V6 or anything of that nature and wants to put your car to the test. Yeah those people...I get the biggest kick out of these kinds of people. For instance I'll take both genders and give you all an example.
Incident #1 06 black v6 mustang with a fairly decent looking girl probably in her mid twenties flew by me. She gets held up at a light and so i roll to a stop next to her, little did I know she had a friend with her. The girl in the passanger seat is pointing and laughing at the FD. Not cool, but I let it slide, then the mother of all screw ups that she decides to do is revving the engine...big mistake. I look over at the giggling duo and smile. Light turns green they plant it. I sit for a sec and let them get ahead about 2 cars or so seeing as there was no traffic coming up behind me, then nail it in the middle of town. I grabbed 3rd as soon as i came up to the window and brraaaaaaaappp pshhhhhh. With a look of absolute terror on each of their faces my day was complete.
Anyways I was just thinking about that and wanted to hear some other stories others have experienced.

one night after i got out of school i was heading home on the loop 202 here in az, when this guy in a 90ish talon pulled up next to me and revved it at about 60. i was still driving my si at the time. i was in 5th to save on gas, when i dropped a gear and went to about 1/2 throttle. he got mad and he dropped into what sounded like 3rd. i said screw gas and dropped it into 3rd and wot. His face had the look of disgust and anger as i slowed down and let him pass me. later on he tried again and failed. Plus if you watch the movie the kingdom the freeway scene IS THE LOOP 202 here in mesa, AZ baby!!

Make an assessment...

It would be really cool to go man, but it all depends on what kind of verdict Ray gives us. I've been noticing this noise for a few weeks now and its almost like sounds like a random popcorn maker with metal inside of it. So I took off the MP and cat left the DP on and fired her up to see if it might have been a broke weld and just let the exhaust blow it out...that was a not go. So I'm still stuck with the noise. Next was the turbo inlet piping and all the other good stuff off to get to the turbos for play...and yeah we got some play in the turbos. Well I think what the problem was some crossed up vacuum lines and boost spike that caused them to flop (thats just my analysis haven't a second opinion). Next I had Chris from Rx7.com send me a proper vacuum setup and now we are waiting on the turbos. I want to do a compression test too from Ray. We will see what happens next...I pray that nothing has gone up internally. I swear I will prolly cry if we run into something of that nature lmfao.
