Default Shouldn't be admitting this......

Well I'm cruising around in my 1990 Civic hatch DX and I got the 17s on it, the integra front end, the Apexi N1 turbo muffler and my music blaring. Even though I have a stock 1.5L with nothing done other then cat back exhaust with a cold air which everyone knows even a huge turbo isnt going to help my dogged out 89hp 1.5.

Well I'm sitting at a light and even though there isnt much out there I can beat in a race when this kid pulled up next to me I was like shoot I can take him no problem. He looked over at me and nodded and I nodded back and rev'd up to about 2 grand. Throw my Skunk2 short shifter into 1st and got ready. I was like finally I'm gonna win a race!

After what seem like forever the light turns green and dump the clutch, tires chirp a little bit but pretty much hooked up and I was off, I run 1st and bang 2nd, just as I'm riding 2nd out almost ready to hit 3rd all I can see was that kid hit high gear on me and blowing me out of the water. I almost cried as I turned off the next road I could...


I never seen a 12 year old pedal his Huffy mountain bicycle so freakin fast.

Dude, don't feel so bad, at least you got the DX. I'm stuck with the standard 70 bhp model. Enjoy those extra 19. Huffy bikes, I'd be crying too.
