Got any winter beater kills? I got one

Since the 7 is away for winter I figure its ok to post a non 7 kill
My DD is a Supercharged 2000 Millenia, I was being closely followed by a mid 90's Honda who was a little to close, you could tell he was itching to pass me on the single lane road. We turned right from a stop sign onto a double lane road. I know he was going to fly by me so I got a good head start from the sign to get ahead of him as I knew he would be heading for the highway on ramp which is at the end of this half mile road. Seeing the lights coming up behind me I gently merged over to block his approach. He quickly got over into the other lane but it was to late, single lane up the ramp onto the highway. He was on my bumper just reving the **** out of it. as soon as he has an open spot he flys over in the other lane. I let him get even with me then just mashed it. Millenia's arn't great from a stop, but rolling they go very well. Needless to say I just floated right out in front of him like he was not there, with his screaming fart can still full bore. He must of been in such a shock to have his *** handed to him when he thought I was just another slow car on the road Just thought I'd share that........

Everyone

My Daily Driver is a 93 GMC Typhoon, so I can pass everyone. I get more 'kills' in my beater than I do with the RX-7. Well, I only just bought it soooooooo all I've done is drive it home and park it. Next spring there will be some deaths.

LOL i have one actually. I didnt think a thread would be worth making so good thing for this one.

Anyway while the 7 sits alot for winter (i still drive it) but on really COLD or snow/ice days, i have a 1994 mazda 626 v6 auto to drive.

Ok, it was about 8pm at night, i just dropped off my friend after work since he has no car. I turn on a block where theres a light with 2 lanes, then about 100 feet ahead, the right lane has to merge with the left to become a 1 lane up a long curvy uphill. Well i turn the block, get to the light in the left lane. I wait for the light, then the cars from other streets meet me. I see a blue 4 door ford focus get next to me on my right.

Light is a bit long so we have time to look at each other and determine who is gonna make the move to get the lead up ahead. Well i look at him and its some white guy, about middled aged and he was alone. I was alone myself. It was night so i cant see other cars in the back, dont know if theres cops or not.

Anyhow, the cars ahead coming from the opposite way are coming and they dont have a left only turn for them so when the light turns green, those cars who want to take a left would have to beat the people from oncoming (which is me and the people in back of me)

Well light is about to turn green, i inch up, ready to take the V6 mazda power to the limit, then i see a taxi come from ahead putting his signal. Im like ************ you better wait. Well light turns green, i punch it, focus punches it and THE TAXI punches it!! ahhh

Well me and focus jump the line, i was about to hit the brakes but taxi was fast enough to not be in my way but in the focus's way enough for the focus to hit the brakes a bit so they wont collide.

Well 6000rpm in 1st, shift to 2nd and i go up to 50mph and the focus was about 2 cars back. I was like since i got ahead and now im alone on the uphill.

Focus is mad and now tailgating me. Im like awww so i slow down to about 25-30mph (limit is 25mph anyway) and he flashes his highbeams. I continue to **** him off by going slower. So about 1/4 mile later after the curvy hill we get to another light. One is a left turn only lane and the other is a lane to go straight. I get into the left turn only lane since thats the way to go home. He gets in the other lane.

Im not that type of person to show off and be like haha i won, you suck or whatever. So at the light when he got next to me, i just peeked to my right side and he wasnt even looking, he was looking straight like a statue. Im like damn hes probably mad. hahha

O well

mazda v6 power > whatever that focus had

That can't be right! The Zetec never loses!
Maybe his clutch was slipping, or his tires were bad.

AWD turbo 4.3... they're fairly nice, for what they are (an asstacular S10, I hate all old econo trucks... always seem to be dying).

I wouldn't mind playing with one myself, just as a run it into the ground beater.

+1 for the K-series

So I was driving my SC2 home, and this civic was in front of me, in a 35, with a fart can exhaust and it looked like the trim around his bumper cover was falling off..I can tell hes itching to race, because he keeps revving and swirving, so the car in front of us pulls off and its on, i hear him drop to 2nd, but I'm already in second. I couldn't pass on this road(2-lane, kinda hilly, leaving town) so I just pushed him the whole 1/2 mile from where we dropped the hammer to my turn...it was funny as hell

i beat a fart-canned civic last night with my moms v6 ranger. I was driving back home on the 4 lane highway, and he pulls next to me and revs like crazy. I was thinking, damn son, you have to get those bee's out the muffler...so he gasses it a few times and lets go, so i was like wtf!

I hit the over-drive button and my rpm's jumped a little higher, then we both floored it......it was dead even for a good 5 seconds, then i started to pull away slowly on him..... I hit 94 mph (fuel cut on the ranger) and about 2 cars infront of him, then instead of throwing my flashers on, i put my turn signals on left and right quickly to make them look like strobe lights LMAO yielding an awesome ricer 'flash-by'. It was so funny, i was laughing my *** off the rest of the way home cuz the ricer got a taste of domestic rice.

My moms ranger has the following performance mods:

Carbon-fiber tails
Clear corner lights
Projector fog lights
Pioneer cd player
New car-smell air freshener.

I was coming home the other night and a fart pipe integra started reving at the light and I was like lol, so just to show him how nice my rx8 is I gunned it off the light and left him in the dust. Once I hit the speed limit I got out of it and he went for a fly by and I put a stop to that. When he was about half a car ahead of me he finally got past me, cuzz I stopped careing and he dropped his hazards. I just looked at my girl and lol and gunned it for him and of course he took the first right turn he found and tucked his tail under and ran like a sissy.

04 rx8 GT package, and custom performance exhaust

OK, OK, I'll add. A death though. I've got a big ole slow diesel truck. Its been modded, but the engine alone is like 1,100 lbs. I dyno'd it at 310 h.p. and 660 lb-ft torque. That's a lot of engine mass to accelerate though. Let's just say, the truck doesn't accelerate too quick, but it pulls a heavy load like nobody's business.

Anyway, I was on the interstate cruising like 70 or so. One these ricer's with maximum fart cannage was coming by me like at 71, with no traffic in front of us. 2 of his fart can buddies was following him too. So I goose mine a bit, so he can hear my turbo spool a bit (no silencer ring). I figure he's going to go, so I'm ready to hear his fart can announce it.

Sure enough, I hear him down shift to 4th (I guess), and I just leave mine in 6th gear, cause 5th will only do like 75 anyway. I wasn't able to pull on him, he got his rear bumper to about my front bumper when we got to about 100 mph. When I heard him back out of it, I backed out too, not wanting to do a ricer fly-by on him. He pulled me a bit, but heck, my truck weighs 7,130 lbs. with a full tank of fuel and nothing else in it. I race other pick-ups on the interstate like this frequently and pull them. His other ricer buddies could keep up with us ... I guess that's why he was the lead ricer (the king of the 3 ricers).

I haven't got my junkyard dog (the project RX-7) roadworthy yet, so I've got to race something. Hehehe.

Here's a beater kill. MY FIRST, too.(sort of.. '88 TII with S5, almost-dead driveshaft, one bald, almost-flat tire on an '86 GXL rim. Rest are TII rims. LOL, looks so tacky. I'm a badass.)

I bought this TII from a guy named Andrew here on the forums. The driveshaft has LOTS of play over like 50 mph, and the u-joints click every shift, so I baby the thing. (thursday is the day I get the new driveshaft, and new tires. and Friday/Saturday I take the car to Chris [rotaryrudy] to get the new motor/tranny installed )

anyway, enough of my story. I was with my step-dad, driving all nice-like (keep in mind, this car is probably like 70 db idle, sounds like a freaking jet taking off at anything above 3... 2.5" dp->2.5" mp->2.5"glasspack, turns to the ground... not exactly streetable yet). the local Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar, etc Costco crew was all driving around me, lifting their snooty noses when they heard (and smelt) the car... then, I'm going about 40 in a 45, taking it really easy... some jackass in a Honda Accord shifts into my lane, going about 55, rides me right to the bumper, then puts on his blinker... I shake my head and look over at my step-dad and he gives me a nod and a grin and I'm back into 3rd as the kid's front bumper is right about at my door... by the time his rear bumper's about 10 feet in front my fb, the turbo hits full boost (after a few hiccups from the u-joints, LOL) and all hell breaks loose. My step-dad was watching the kid the whole time, said he peeked in his mirror with a frightened look and a couple of seconds later I was blowing by him. I managed to wave out the sun roof to him as I passed, and got into the turn lane for my street. I'm pretty sure he got a good wiff of that exhaust... and my god does it smell bad.

not really a kill, i suppose. but it scared the kid shitless according to my step-dad. This car's a riot. :P

beater

I've been crushing Civics all winter in my '94 Lexus ES300 rofl. All these honda kids with an exhaust and headers running around see my Lexus, which i just lowered 1.5" and I threw a Greddy tag frame on (I have like 100 of those damn things sitting in a huge pile), and try to run me and get smashed ROFL. It is definately satisfying to know the old beater is at least faster than the ricers!

my best winter beater kill was the night my talon tsi broke down (last winter) and my freind dropped me off at my house and my dad had just signed the title to my old isuzu into my name so it took my bout 15 min to get my isuzu started and itwhen i did, my freind in his s10 called me out to race so we lined up my 95 isuzu and his 89 s10 and it was the most pathetic beater run ever!!!!the s10 has a cannon in the back and the isuzu had an exhaust leak as big as my hand and it sounded crazy but it was just funny cuz it was a perfect story for this title,and i kicked his ***!!!
