Not really a kill....but...

I was taking my 1985 GS out for a ride to a local garage to price out tune-ups etc. (It desperately needs lubing and tuning, 126k without it makes one tired and sore) While I'm at a red light at the base of a large hill. A Civic with all sorts of performance mods and a resonated exhaust pulls up next to me and revs into the 6000 rpm range. He screams out at the green light, while I actually go the safely. As we're mounting the hill, he wants to show off his shifting prowess and immediately pops the clutch. I glance back to see his $40k+ car go rolling backwards into an F-350.

I actually felt sorry for the car that it was being driven by such a dumb driver.

they last one race, and then after that, its all downhill, gotta fix this, fix that.. might as well be built by ford, not dodge.. lol.

Hey, I've got a e46 M3 and a FD touring and I love SRT-4's. It must be that you guys hate the type of drivers in SRT-4's from the reading I've done in numerous stories.
I actually appreciate a domestic that is FWD and can pull off a 13.9 1/4 mile stock. I'm in Detroit and drivers and car styles are a kind of enigma because of our supporting the local automotive companies.
I do my fair share of auto-x and it great to see Neon ARC or R/T's (no turbo) pass Corvette's and 350Z's at the track. I do a TON of drag racing and the SRT's get faster every year. I had an Evo (and 4 DSM's) and I was always very wary of an SRT that wanted to race on the street.

How much money would he have had in his car to make a civic worth $40k? If it's a brand new civic, that's like $25k in mods...

Eh, RX-7 drivers just hate anything that's faster than "The 7".
