Tonight, a Merc tried to race me....
It started off with me speeding up to get by a guy (2 lanes on my side - in town mind you)....the Merc was behind me, got on my right, got even with my car, gave it a little juice...kinda a nudge to say "lets go."
We we rolling, and I said ah what the **** (even though there are mad cops out tonight)....I wasnt really saying "lets race" but the road was clear up ahead, etc.
We werernt neck and neck when he took off....I was half way up his car. I didnt even know when this "race" took place...err started. He just slammed his gas and took off a little, I hit mine to catch up...I never really caught up to him, and only lost a little ground because I wasnt "ready."
I dont remember the model, but my friend that was with me says it looked like a lower end.
When this kid (yeah, a kid go figure) was a car length ahead of me (i let off my gas because I didnt want to risk getting pulled over...) he threw me the peace sign out his window....WTF!?
Apparently he thought he won this mysterious race....
So. We came to another stop light, took off slow...at a roll, neck and neck again...I wanted to play his game...but again, I wasnt being 100% serious due to the amount of cops out tonight. I hit my gas and took off. I was ahead by half car length, shifted into 2nd, hit rev limiter because if I shifted into 3rd and punched it, I would really go over speed limit....thats a no no lol.
Anyways...i shifted into 3rd but let off the gas to coast. He is still in his "race" and I DID push on my brake before he passed me...which should have signaled that "look guy, Im not really racing." He flys by, then hits his brakes, and pulls into Pizza hut...I give him the peace sign - its only fair that I won.
To be honest I dont even know why Im posting this thread...bored I guess. This post isnt to say "I owned his car, Mercs suck" no, its more of "what the hell happened tonight????" How is just taking off from a roll, no signal, no hand gesture, no nothing...how is that even a race??? Even honking of the horns is dumb....when do you stop? Is it when you are a car length ahead of the other guy? What if all his power is in 3rd gear and you are winning in 2nd?
Wow...just wow. This is one reason why I bring it to the track....or auto x more now...since that has more "skill."
