Your Stupid Ricer Story....thread.

no one on the road. on the way home from the gym, was practicing shifting 2-3 ( i miss shift when i try too hard/fast) and a ricers pulls up, and has to fly past me...REPEATEDLY. i think he even tried doing laps, i avoided him, turned and was doing more 2-3 shifts for practice's sake, and yet again he flys past me at like a good 100 mph, was watching and waiting for his tire blow out

so annoying having him follow me home.... it was just us on the road. wish there were other people so it wasnt so obvious and distractin atleast.

keepin the forums clean. ricer stories here. no street racing/kills. ( i dont mean boom headshot i mean i owned a ford pinto with a coffee doin 210938 weavin in and out of traffic)

Probably my favorite one.

Was cruising on the way home on the highway one day. Civic pulls up next to me and starts speeding up and slowing down. About the same time my radar starts to chirp. So I nail it for a bit, than hit the breaks and he flys by me, just in time to pass the CHP hiding at the rest area, I usually know were they hide on my daily drive.

I just pulled into the slow lane, watch the CHP fly by and get behind the civic and hit his lights. I figure the guy was probably doing 90 when he passed the CHP.

Great story! I have a similar one. I'm in my Sti (I know guys, I know, not to worry I'm getting an R3 soon, I miss my 04 too much), and I'm just driving on the interstate, minding my own business, probably doing a steady 65. Anyway, a spiky haired waste of life in a white g35 coupe gets within inches of my ***, then gets next to me. 3 honks. I never look at the kid, save for from my rear view mirror. At honk 3 he guns it and quickly realizes I'm not participating in his duchbaggery. He slows down, gets parallel to me again, and believe it or not repeats this idiocy again. He only pulls for second this next time and finally realizes I'm not having it. He then swerves in front on me, hits the brakes, and then floors it, making some terrifying cuts in and out of traffic. At around the moment I'm thinking, where is a cop when you need one, I see the lights shine in my review mirror and then fly past me to catch up to this jackass. Apparently, a cop had been driving behind us this whole time, and certainly not I, nor this kid noticed. The satisfaction of seeing him being pulled over (when I caught up they were just pulling on to the shoulder), was like nothing else. Great feeling.

If the cop saw everything I'm thinking reckless driving was the minimum haha.

oh and my hate for ricers, such a racist word lol, but yeah hate for ricers has sky rocketed. a bunch of ricers were ganged up and cruisin on the highway, and i guess i cut this corrolla off, (there was easily a car length infront of me and behind me) and he goes on my ***, and gives me a light show, i usually slow down ridiculously (not slam brakes) to like 40 mph if no one else is on the highway.

but long story short, was texting (know i shouldn't : / but finished the text, looked up, he had gone around me and slammed his brakes, looked up as the tires chirped. and i gunned my brakes and swerved out the way, and end up fish tailing back and forth in my lane and end up spinning out on the highway. ridiculous, all for "breaking the chain" of ricers.

This story came from my parents when they took my car out for dinner..

They pulled up to a stoplight, and a very nice looking sports car (that's they're exact description, so I don't know what car they saw) pulled up and started revving. Then the driver looked into my car and saw it was a middle aged couple driving giving him a "wtf are you doing" stare.

Needless to say, people on the streets were confused when after the light turned green, both cars pulled away from the stoplight very safely and slowly

I was home from work at about 8 PM. I was a 2002 civic behind me that sounded like crap. Then flew past me and its muffler was so big that i can fit a football in it. But ok i just keep driving. Im driving 50 MPH and the guy keeps coing back and forth. Hes got a huge techometer in the middle of the dashboard too. He slows down looks at me and roles down the window and shakes his head at me. And then he shifts into a low gear with his engine revving really high he drops back. Hes about a block away and then i see him floor it and come up fast. He flies by me going atleast 90 MPH on 45. Then a cop flies out with his lights of and the guys slames on his breaks and all you can see is smoke from the tires. He pulls over and the cop is rite behind him. Then the cops runs out with his gun pointed at him and rips him out the car and puts him in handcuffs.

That sucks for him but thats wut he gets

My problem with ricers is that they don't use their turn signals when racing through traffic I hate playing with non-signalling ricers - too unpredictable. I'm more of an Iceman, I don't really get along with Mavericks.

Wish I had a cop in my story lol...

Every Friday night we have a local meet -- every car club in the city gets together in a massive parking lot. For the last couple weeks straight this douche in a white CRX has been driving around the parking lot at 10 miles an hour while bouncing off the rev limiter. I keep praying for a boom and a cloud of smoke but it hasn't happened yet

Simple answer. Spike strips.

Or better yet, get a video of it, get the plate # on the video, put it on youtube and forward the link to your local police department

I wish I had some good ricer stories but I just don't. Maybe the chevy impala that had to have less then 20 miles on it with a teenager behind the wheel. I was up in the hills near where I live driving a nice mountain road and I pass him pulled over on the side of the road. When I pass he pulls out in a cloud of dust and gives chase (Not that I'm really speeding, the road was too damn narrow to do much more then 35, especially with all the blind corners). Every time we reach corners, he vanishes from view. Every time we end up on a straight, he comes roaring up behind me. Followed me all the way back to the highway.

Speaking of which.... I was driving home one late afternoon on a 45mph stretch with my wife and two kids in the 8 with me. I usually go 5 over the speed limit so I was going casually at 50mph on the road. There was an overcast and light rain that afternoon and I notice on my rear view mirror a pair of head lights (and fog lights) catching up on me. Since I was going 50, my guess he was going a little bit over 60 trying to catch up on me. At first I thought it was 350z and I was thinking to myself, "great another wanna-be race driver douche!" But the second he caught up and stayed on my tail for two minutes, I realized it was another RX8. And a VR one at that! For the next minute he got closer and tailgated me. Mind you, I was more concerned about my kids on the back seat and I just concentrated on the wet road ahead (remember it was raining at that time). Next thing I know I hear the stock enginge/exhaust sound of his 8 revving it and "flew" past me (big emphasis on 'flew' by the way since we all know how fast our 8's can fly especially when starting off at a running speed of 50 ). My wife looks at me and says, "why didn't you kick his ***?" I looked at her and said, "First, we got our kids at the back seat. And secondly, there's an elementary school about half mile away down the road, it was raining and the road was wet." My wife just smiled at me.

Or there is the guy who blows past me in a Honda Civic with a big tailpipe with his buddy hanging out the window shaking his fist at me. Not sure why - I never saw him coming and I was doing about 60 in a 55 just minding my own business driving home from work. He's in the fast lane and pulls up behind a black Dodge (which any idiot except this one could tell was an unmarked state trooper) flashes his lights at him to move over. Dodge moves over, Civic guns it and races past him. Dodge moves back into the fast lane right behind him and hits the lights.

I loved it!

I once raced a Bugatti in my 8 on Mt Everest. There we no tracks so we drifted around corners and boulders in the snow. Near the summit of Mt Everest, where the finish line is, I drifted this turn and the Bugatti didn't, I ended up making the turn and the Bugatti flew off the cliff, plumaging down, hits the ground, rolls up-side-down, then exploded. I win.

I always get a DR.DoucheBag in his supercharged Z06 never fails as soon as i hit the tollway , or Mr teenageeAzzmunch reving it up in his RTcharger with the freshly applied racing stripes ,about to plow over 6 cars in rush hour traffic just trying to get up beside me trying to get me to race. And dont even mention all of the 4door family hondas with the coke can exhaust and the 4 ultra color pimped out tinted windows with the front seats touching the back seats, trying to pull on me without me participating and cutting on the hazards for the WIN, sorry im just venting
