RX8 on the highway.

I know, I know...racing is bad, im sorry.

Driving home from the mall tonight and a black RX8 flies up to me and starts to pace me. We pass the major exit, and all the traffic disapears. We both floor it, we were doing about 58. Dead even up to around 100, then I started to pull away up to 110, and my g/f hit me and told me to stop.

So yeah, 55-110, RX-8 = not that fast.

oh yeah...it was 16deg. F at the time.


Once again, i do not condone street racing, nor have i done it at all in the past 6 months (supervision for ticket [not for racing])

you're a poet and didn't come to the realization that you were one.


here's one from me:

Mazda RX-8
you fell off the ugly tree
and hit every branch

Stolen from nasioc but a very cool ad


forester vs. 350Z

edit: dangit - why can't we enable IMG tags when they link to other sites. It wouldn't hurt this sites bandwidth and it wouldnt hurt the 56kers since they could disable it in their profile.

Good job. With that said, Mike already said you should not put others in danger so I am not going to repeat that. But you should also tell your g/f not to hit you when you are the driver and you are going at 110mph. What was she thinking?

Your girlfriend hit you while you were driving around 100 mph. That's very dangerous. No passenger should mess with a driver when doing 100 mph. Screaming, cursing, shrieking, fainting, gestulating, and even soiling one's pants are Ok; but touching the driver is a no no.
