punks in pick up truck!

gprgeorge · 03-26-2015, 09:30 PM

For some reason this week I have had a few punks in pickup trucks trying to race me at stop lights! Really! Now I usually don't do much street racing but finally tonight I just had to show one dude that his ram pickup is not at fast as he thinks. Also had same issue few weeks ago with guys in Subarus. Anybody attract this kind of lawlessness?

How are going to feel when that cummins turbo diesel smokes you at the next light hahaha. Some of those diesel trucks are insanely fast.

Just let em go. Not worth the ticket and hassle. Cops in Texas are no joke.

People will always want to race.

M3 Esq · 03-26-2015, 09:53 PM

Fuck it I just race em and my wife gets pissed.

Punks in a truck???!!!!
Were these the guys???

I use to have that problem. Solved it with a IPE F1 Exhaust!
Just one down shift and they know there place. I even put a M4 driver in check for trying to test me, even though we all know it would spank me. But people are scared of loud noises.

DONT SLEEP ON THE DIESEL! My TDi makes more torque than most E9X m3's

Some of the Cummins Diesel Trucks are putting down 500 ft lb of torque with tune and exhaust!

Shit my x5d makes 525 but it ain't that fast

tjsabec · 03-26-2015, 11:11 PM

Top speed of any pickup truck is just not that fast, one might get you im first gear or so, but you should be reeling all but the most built trucks after that, stock those things shit off at 100 mph

Hillbillies in pickups are the only people who try and race me here in the rural midwest.

You only have to worry about them trying to steal your car for meth money.

Most of us skip the General side -> Technical/DIY

Ever since getting the M, I've noticed people try to pull up next to me or cut me off as an indication to try and rile me up. As I'm still learning the ins and outs of the car I haven't really given in. But I've had my moments.

You mean 1,500 TQ and 500 HP. Good enough to run 12's or tow a house.

California has a huge car culture but I deal with idiots who want to race on a daily basis. I have a pretty loud car in terms of it's exhaust, colour and other modifications, but I don't drive like a moron. However, for some reason I always seem to be challenged by people in pick up trucks, subarus, hondas, etc. One day, I was driving back from the gym and had my windows down. I was cruising very mildly and these two morons in a lifted Ford F-150 pulled up next to me. They started challenging me to a race but when I ignored them, when the light turned green, they purposely blasted black smoke from their exhaust straight into my cabin...I was fuming. I called the cops after they did it twice more on the following lights. I followed them down the road and let the operator know what road they were on. The cop soon caught up to me and sat back to wait and see if the truck did anything stupid, which he obviously did. The cop pulled them over and that was that. The important thing is to keep a level head and not engage in reckless behaviour. Best of luck OP
