Got killed ..... by the wife...
After I droped my kid off at daycare, yesterday morning.
I swung around our store hoping that my wife didn't leave yet, after she counted out the employee's. So i get off the highway, and i see my wife pulling out in our E39 M5. So she see's me and pulls out abruptly infront of me. From there it was ON. I flashed her a couple of times, she waved unknowingly, i was about spank that asss. and the car. haha So as usual she speeds going 65-70 in a 55mph zone on the way home on a one lane road. I was riding her bumper the whole way, getting readdy for the kill. So we finally get to a light where the 1 lane turns into 2 lanes. The light finally turns green and I go WOT, as the car shifts at redline, my wife pulls about 2 car lengths, and she isn't even trying.. FUCK, i got killed. So she's infront of me again, so i follow her until it was safe for me to pass her up, beat her home.. finally its open. I go WOT and pass her in the passing lane going about 80mph, I get infront of her and hit the hazards, to signify, she got beat. She flashs me. Then she had the nerve to come around and pass me again as im going WOT.. She passes get infront and hit the hazards on me. THat BITCH.. So she beats me home.. arrgggghh the agony of defeat. As we park, she has a smile/grin ear to ear, and she goes, " i had to go 90/100mph to pass you" i replied.. with ''hmph and?" being bitter when ever I lose. So I asked the wife.. did you downshift?? she responds " I don't like to downshift, i don't like the way it revs high, so i just kept it in 6th gear as usual" Errrrr that wench.. But I love her. and NO i wasn't in the FD.. I was driving our hooptie/bucket. a 97 4 door Mirage DS |
ahhh aha ha ha. precisely why I got my wife the non-turbo porsche.

Understand your frustration - I'm in my touring model and the wife would absolutely abuse me with her R-1. Yes we were a two FD family - its how we met. Unfortunately both cars have been sold.
Got to tell you, I don't think this qualifies as a kill cause you weren't in the FD. :) Get the FD out and challenge her again...loser buys dinner or something! Super77 |
lol, I read that story the whole time thinkin' your FD was sick.
|
Completely misleading. =( haha, most of my girlfriend's have been able to outrun me.
|
You're saying most of your girlfriends are fast? ;)

Not trying to start a big debate or anything, but coming from an 18 year old with an fd i have to say this. Ive realized anytime a young person posts a "kill" or any other type of street racing, he is called imature, or irresponsible and people flame them. What SlingShot posted seems like irresponsible and careless driving, dont you think the response from readers would be completelly different if slingshot was under the age of 20? Just venting cus im sick of seeing people say that 18 year olds shouldnt be driving fd's and that its guaranteed they will total it. Anyways sounds like your wife owned you! Next time race her in your fd.

Now that is a good wife... I hope mine can be like that. Good story too.

In the end, if people flame, its not because they dislike younger people, its just that they would rather see some crappy 84 toyota corolla get messed up instead of a limited and highly valued FD since the probability of an accident in such a fast car is to be expected (even from the older veterans hehe). |
^^^+1 i'm 23 with a lot of experience....track and lots of road experience...and i still know that i need a lot more
femnto...your post is dead on some, but few & far between, younger drivers are inexperienced |
That was a great story... Best one I have read in a while..... I am cracking up here at work!!
|
I must find a wife like that. :)

idk im 17 about to turn 18 in 3 months and im not gonna lie ive had my mustang for about 7k miles now and i drive it like a bat outta hell but i still have never been in a wreck(knock on wood) and thing i would be alot more responsible with an FD when i finally do get it for 2 reasons A its my dream car and B it cost about 3 times wat my stang costs for the same year model
|
97 Mirages did not come in DS's its either DE, ES, or LS but none the less its funny how your wife raced you. i got my mom to race me a few times when i was in my mirage, needless to say with 93hp my daily driver dont go that fast and she whooped me everytime. its just funny that i got her to race and she is a slow driver.

I can't down you for driving fast, I have no room to talk, but I can tell you that you will grow out of it. It's taken me many near deaths, but I am driving considerably more conservative now then I use to.... and I drove FAST (Not 80 in a 55 fast, I'm talking FAST). Also, the more I race, the more smooth and fluid my driving gets, and the less need I have to tear around like my hairs on fire. |
Ive got about 20k on my vette, and im thinking about getting a higher performance car for my kids (eventually) because I know what I did with my car, and what I would have done if i hadnt had it. (probably about the same) At least make sure they are safe when they are stupid... Definitely something RWD though. This is of course over the past 2 years, so i mean 20k isnt a whole lot, and i know i keep learning stuff on it, but im getting far more comfortable with it, and learning the limits of it.
I am starting to grow out of the speed racer mode though. I set my cruise now. And I know full well what fast is...the little lines on the freeway...Solid. I need to get out to a track and just go have some fun, it would be less tempting on the road that way. |

When i was younger i remember beating the hell out of my dads new 1996 probe GT. Specifically the one time i decided to race a gti and because i was a younger and more inexperienced driver i basically slid my car 360 like 3 times and luckaly didnt kill lmyself or anybody else. What was the mistake i made? When i was coming around a curve i started to shift and just for a split second i looked at the shifter (in-experienced drivers bad habbit) which caused me to go into the curve at a bad angle. I oversteered to try and correct it but it was too late and i was flying all over the place. As i found out years later, my dad new i had been racing the car from time to time so he had decided to upgrade the tires and just about every part of the suspension. I didnt know this at the time but that probably what kept me from rolling over or keep sliding and spinning. My father, a mechanic and a racer, had the wisdom and FORESIGHT to help me in such a way. Now, dont get me wrong, there are a few younger people who have had alot of track/road time and might deserve credit, but they are few and far between. I mean, you dont have to take my word for it, just look at the difference between a 25 year olds insurance prices and that of an 18 year old, geico and such know what they are talking about, its statistics.
In the end, if people flame, its not because they dislike younger people, its just that they would rather see some crappy 84 toyota corolla get messed up instead of a limited and highly valued FD since the probability of an accident in such a fast car is to be expected (even from the older veterans hehe). I drive expectionally well for a 19 year old :). 30 grand later (of my own money! my parents despise my series 1 with a 13bbp turbo) and 400rwkw after i'm still alive, still clutching fifth gear and still having a laugh. Learn at a young age. First rally car was an rx2 12a at the age of 13, and after rolling that and several other cars I learnt very quickly the rush and the fun that can be had sideways at speed. I'm insured and I never do anything stupid in my car when someone else is in it or when others are around. Some of us youngun's use our noggin's. My roll cage, harness and fixxed back adr/cams approved buckets seats are a testament to that. *picks himself up out of the 'kid's shouldn't drive fast car's, because of inexperience' stereotype basket* |
