Old Guys, Fast Cars...
 

Ok so in the past 2 days I have being a doing a fair bit of driving and I have encountered 3 cars that I was looking forward to an encounter with... first one was a new Viper and as I pulled up beside I look over and its a guy I would say in his 70's. He was doing EXACTLY 80km/hr on the highway. He had to have had his cruise set. Gave him the ricer nod and he just looked forward and kept on his merry way going slower than every other car on the highway.

2nd was a WS6 Trans Am with Alaska plates and huge rubber on it had to be in the 300 width on the back, guy driving had to be in his 60's or up same thing doing 90 same thing ricer nod same reaction "Stare ahead do not acknowledge the ricer in the green civic"

Last was a Corvette, 60+ gave him a taste of the BOV and he just smiled and waved and carried on his merry slow way.

Do you think guys like that ever drive their cars or are just now able to afford a dream car and just putt around town admiring themselves in the reflection of other cars passing them?

Do you picture yourself as one of those old guys with a fast car putting around? I have no idea what I'll be driving when I'm retired but I will tell you if it can go fast.... I'll be going fast.

i saw a old dude driving a snake skin green viper and he was driving slow as tits while talkin to his cellphone. His car was so sexy tho

I guess for those old dudes, it's more of a image crisis thing. They want the looks and don't care about the speed.

^^ Yea thats what I was thinking... "Look what I can afford".... waste of car I tell you.

If your 60, I think you probably had enough of "speed" in the past fe decade already.
If your 60, you have nothing to prove on the street level.
If your 60 with a Viper, why mess with a green car that you can't tell if it's a Honda or Hyundai.

Honestly, there's too many of these punk kids out there that wanna race an exotic or fast cars. I'm lucky enough to be able to drive a Ferarri often on weekends, and I can tell you that your not the only one that wanna race. I've encountered more than a hand "full" of these "ricer nod" just from a 1 hour drive from Richmond to Burnaby.

I can see where your coming from as I get tons of people trying to just get me to go to see how fast it is... guess old guys might be thinking the same thing.... or they don't wanna get showed up by a riced out honda ;)

their spleens probably cant take the sheer thrust their cars can prroduce during full throttle acceleration.

u seem to be extremely infatuated with that green honda of yours

No I like fast cars... and I like seeing people drive fast cars the way they should be driven... my green honda has nothing to do with it.... although it is fast.

you should try again when you are in your 70s in your green civic, i'm sure you will get a different reaction and of course you will get all the old ladies panties wet

hah When I'm in my 70's all cars will probably be electric or floating and my green civic will be in the RS Hall of Fame ;)

there was a 300zx yesterday in poco during the rush that i was playing with. he was pulling hard, but didn't expect my SER to keep with him for so long

What a tool....

Kindly direct yourself to link in my sig Sir Douchbag.

Why are you going around trying to race these fast cars anyways? They're just looking at you and laughing.

so your advocating street racing / speeding

great job...

they could be saving it for track days on the weekends.

Grow up - just because somebody doesnt want to street race your Civic doesnt make them any less worthy of their cars.

It's just a civic.

did he hav white hair? srt10 converible limegreen viper with black stripe? if it is hes a salesman at maple ridge chrysler where i worked and hes the biggest scammer 'ill fuck you over' guy ever :rofl:

It's got nothing to do with street racing. My observation is that for the most part old guys with fast cars drive like pussies. As for the track days I can't see old guys ripping around on a track at all.

If you read my initial post I posted 2 questions at the bottom THAT is what the discussion is about NOT who will race me where and when.



Do you picture yourself as one of those old guys with a fast car putting around?

There is the question in case you missed it. I'm pretty sure I won't be driving an "exotic" car at that age... probably something comfortable but it's hard to say what cars will be like in another 30 years.

I am advocating driving. :thumbsup:

meh, suspension ain't worth it again. bussing around was heartbreaking, especially looking out the window and knowing the guy beside you is pos driver.

btw, are you going to change your avatar to brock lesnar sleeping after saturday?
