Battle of the ricers!!!
So tonight i was cruising around in my old '93 Civic sedan, wishing that the RS was back up and running (parents won't let me use the friggen garage 
). as i'm driving down 41st street, i see another Honda start pulling up on me. i noticed it was another Civic sedan, same bodystyle as mine, just riced out more. the kid evidently saw my "riced out" tail-lights and figured i'd be up for a race. so he starts gassin' it in 2nd, just WOT then off, WOT then off, trying to get me to run him. so i let him have it. we pulled up to a red and waited. i could hear him revving his car in the other lane, and i couldn't help but chuckle.
the light goes green and we're off. first gear was almost dead even, but i short power shifted (if that makes any sense
) and managed to start pulling more of a lead through second. i let off at the top of 2nd, mainly because i don't really want to be busted for speeding, or racing. well i had to get some gas after that and pulled into a Shell station, with the other Civic in tow. he gets out and we start talking, evidently he had a custom header and full exhaust, plus an aftermarket CAI and intake manifold. he kept on wondering about my "mods". so i flat out told him "all i've got for mods are the tail lights, the Eclipse head unit and speakers". i swear from the look on his face he **** his pants. i've never seen someone look so embarrassed in my life! i asked him how much it all cost him, and he mumbled "$900".
cliffs:
-cruising around in my Civic
-another Civic rolls up and wants to race
-my Civic wins by about a car
-pull into gas station and start talking
-$900 in mods on other Civic, looses to stock Civic
-Driver mod FTW
CAI and intake manifold: $400
Custom header: $300
Full header back exhaust: $200
Getting owned by the stock version of your own car: priceless
