moron drivers?

I'm young, stupid, and a very aggressive driver. It really depends on my mood. I have a bad temper. I've driven through rush hour in KC at 75(well as much as I could) and at 55 guess what. going 75 only took about 30 secs off my total time. Because you pull up to the traffic faster and get in the jam. Goin slower and you stay out of it for the most part. I don't know. I'm getting more mature and driving better. But I hate people that try to cut me off.

Me and a friend use to drive on the 2 lane freeway side by side slowing down to the point where traffic was backed up for 10+ miles. Once we could see the lights from the cops we would pull ahead real quick, get off the freeway and hide. It was so much fun. One time though we had a bunch of semi's behind us who I though were going to lay on the gas, but we had them going so slow that they couldn't accelerate fast enough.

I also used to have eggs in my car for the occasional egging of a car that was annoying me. One time I was driving down the street with my friend (same one) when these punk kids starting giving us the finger for no reason from the back of their parents car. We drove up side by side and unloaded 3 dozen eggs on their car and in their window. Nailed em all in the head and even got the egg down by the inside of windshield so that it ran into the heater vent. Was a great laugh. Ah what a rush.

Used to play cat and mouse with a friend. I had a more manueverable car and he had a faster car. For the most part things evened out, but we would burn up a deck of tires pretty quick and it would scare the hell out of the neighborhood. He got pulled over once, but the cop let him go since he couldn't catch us both at the same time and prove that we were doing it. Nonetheless he could smell the tires so he was pissed off.

Ah, so many more stories. It all ended when I totalled my car at 75 mph and almost died. Reality caught up with me...as did Karma...

Oh, to answer your question. It's people like me (or how I was when I was 17) that drive you crazy. I would tailgate people just because I could. Pass people at 75 on a total curve from the outside. I was insane. Never got a ticket either. Just almost died...

I'm somewhere in between safe and a moron I think. I won't dive past what I'm capable of. So cutting in, going crazy round bends is not my cup of tea. I'll admit I do speed - but only if the conditions are safe. I know I'm a good driver as I can read road conditions. I've had a few accidents but they wern't entirely my fault. Ie blowouts causing a spin believe me or not that spin happened at 30mph. I spun round flew accross the road and ended up in a garden - fortunetly no wall or anything just a flat mud patch.

I will overtake, I race down country roads, I'll race round town. I won't terrorise grannies, What gets me annoyed is this bastard of a corsa that overtakes me everysingle day on the way home - I'm gonna smash into him one day. He overtakes in silly places. I'll overtake on straight roads. When I drive a bit mad it's just a bit of lane hopping, nothing stupid really.

I've got another kind of driving story.


Ok, most of you know I just got a car. 93 Subaru Legacy sport sedan. It's an AWD turbocharged 4 cylinder. It's decently quick.

Anyway, I was driving home last night from church (doing sound for a rehearsal for this Sunday, when I'm at Front of House), and I turn right at a normal light to get on a street headed towards the freeway. The light turned green just before I got to it, but I drove off slow because there was a cop in the lane one to the left going straight through (those in the UK or Australia will have to reverse the directions, of course). I didn't want him to hear a turbo screaming off into the night, so I took it slow. It was raining lightly, but with new tires and AWD, I was fine. Anyhow, a car turns behind me and sticks right behind me. Like 5 feet away or so. They could've gone around if they were in a hurry, but they didn't. Oh well.

So I get up to my normal speed, and move away from them (they were driving slow). I was going 45 or so (in a 35 that should be at least a 40, but I digress), and stopped at the next stoplight. They come up behind me and then pull in the left lane next to me.

I couldn't tell what kind of car it was, since it was dark out, and the car was a dark blue. Looked a little newer than mine, but I had no clue what it was. I looked over, and the chick in the passenger's side was slouched down so all you could see was her head. She was staring at me and smiling, but in a "I'm stoned out of my mind" kind of way. I look past her to the driver's side, and he's leaning over towards me, looking back and forth between me and the light. He might've been stoned too, but I don't know.
They both looked Romanian, early 20's (we have lots of Romanians around there).

The light turns green and we both go. I'm driving away at the same speed I always do, and he's beside me. 2nd gear, same thing. 3rd gear, I figured I'd pull away. So I pushed the accelerator in a bit, my turbo kicked in, and I was gone.

Then I noticed a truck (old crappy truck) in front of me, chugging along. I thought about going around to the left (in the stoners' lane), but decided to let them go and just slowed down behind the truck. I looked to my left, and the car was just behind me, sitting there like they were letting me in. That surprised me, so I just kind of sat there for a second, then they went past. I pulled behind them, and they went through a late yellow to get onto the freeway. I decided to wait and got on later. I didn't see them after that.

Anyhow, when they went past, I noticed that it was a mid-90s Ecplipse. Now, shouldn't that car be able to beat mine? You would think, but apparnently it's gutless. Either that, or they were just stoned.


Anyhow, just thought I'd share my first street race in my car with you guys, crappy though it was.

I'm a young driver - I've had a few accidents - does that make me a bad driver. I can haandle the rain well, I'm considerate, and courtesy

That is the absolute worst!

No, an eclipse isn't very fast unless it's the turbo. I'm guessing here, but I'll put down mid 17's for the stock and mid-low 16's for the turbo. Depending on your car (I'm not familiar with it), you probably have a chance, but a stock Eclipse has no chance against any car with a turbo.

By 16s and 17s, you mean price?

I said what the car was above, in case you missed it.

Ah, that would make sense.

My wife's Russian. Her family is from Tajikistan and so are many of the people in her community since they've moved to the staes. Apparently they don't know what flipping someone off is (they have something called a 'fig'...wife said something about sticking your thumb between your index and middle finger ~shrugs~). So one day someone my wife knows came to a four way stop (stop signs, not lights). Another car arrived at the same time. They both started to go. They see eachother moving and both stop. Both go, both stop. Finaly the other car (an american driver) gets fed up, and flips the russian driver off, and angrily steps on the gas. The russian driver mistakes being fliped off for being motioned to go first. *CRUNCH*...as far as i know no one was hurt. But you'd think that the middle finger is something they would have been briefed on at the embasy. or at least it should be in the dmv's test for your licence.

no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end, when we all disintegrate, it'll all happen again.

MR2's are sweet cars.
