Default drivers wanted...

welp, i know people on here don't condone street racing, and i dunno if what happened tonight could be classified as such. while driving around with my bf, i saw a new jetta turning onto the street i was on, and farting on down the road. so, i caught up to him, and switched lanes so we were driving side by side. and wouldn't you know, the light at the next intersection turned red. so then my adrenaline starts going, and i know this guy is thinking what i'm thinking. the light turns green, and i take off and hit the speed limit (45 mph) and lay off the gas. meanwhile, jetta man is lagging behind. so, i switch lanes again, so i'm in his lane and ahead. a few seconds later, mr. jetta comes up on me and switches lanes, and then blows past me. to me, all he had was a phenomenonally loud car, and not much backing it up.

I see nothing wrong with accelerating to the speed limit.

Nice kill. Put 'em in their place.

Yeah its street racing but up to the speed limit I see nothing wrong with, its the ppl who are screaming at 90 on city streets that cause problems. Nice kill though gotta put them fart machine VW's in thier place. Good job.

vw drivers are cocky SOBs. it felt good. and, i do consider it to have been a street race. but, it wasn't a residential area, and i didn't break the speed limit. not that i'm trying to justify it, but i only do this once in a blue moon. and, i must say, it felt reeeeally good to win.

Yeah I'll "race" people from stoplights up to the speed limit or so, but that's about it. I have my clean driving record to protect

Nah, I don't see nothing wrong since you didn't pass the speed limit. I do consider it a street race but with restrictions on your part anyways. Nice kill.
