Street races

Heh.. we had fun the other night in the '89. Sitting next to a mid-2000s Cadillac at a stoplight (60MPH highway). Some old woman, easily lower 60s, has loud rap music playing, tinted windows (window open), and shined-up wheels.

We broke loose the second that green went. Stayed pace until about 40, then I hit good 3rd, and off I went to about 75. Stopped there.

10 seconds later she goes flying by somewhere in the 80s haha. Had a disability plate!

My hairline is receding. I don't have to stop for red left turn arrows anymore! They kill MPG! People do not see the festiva sometimes, like im on a bike. My poor excuse.

raced a RHD GTR (R32) from 40-97 (gps) and beat him tonight. Still on the rear mount setup

Before I rebuilt my engine I beat a gsr turboed ek hatch that ran 13.6 at the drags from the dig but he got me 2 cars on a second gear pull! I was pretty stoked for my car!

Re: Street races

Wouldn't it suck to lose to a guy wearing goggles in a Festiva! hahaha

Not nearly as bad as it would if he was wearing a horse head...

My Festiva racing goggles for when it gets real serious

[Spike]

but its just a FIESTA must be seeing things..

And I quote every person I've ever met.

But yeah.. I was coming home and passed a parked police car going 77 in a 55 (probably not a good thing to do in a stock auto lol). He didn't even bat an eye. o.O

Charlie I wanna see this race face?..lol

I am in constant race mode in my 89. Have to be, it's for survival. This city is full of really bad drivers, so getting out ahead and keeping an eye on the fast line is the only way to get anywhere without getting caught behind or being cut off or pushed off the road. Driving a Festiva in the city traffic can be done one of two ways. Aggressive or passive, either way you gotta be cautious. I'd rather have the problem behind me than in front of me, so it's pretty much all or nothing. When I'm driving tweak I don't even have to try too navigate traffic, so I can ease up, but Babe requires race face all the time.
