Coffee Cans

What's with the cofee cans wanting to race every time they see my CS. BTW, coffee cans is what I call those cars that have that huge baffleless mufflers sticking out the back. They are typicaly Hondas and other small cars. They make a lot of noise, but have no power and they always want to mess with me.

What I don't understand is that as far as performance goes, they are loosing power instead of gaining...unless they can beef-up the intake that huge muffler is not going to do jack. IMO, that is what Carlos Mencia calls "dee dee dee".

I tried ingoring a Civic coffee can this morning and we ended up neck to neck at a red light. He had been tailgating me for miles. I let him go to see if he was going to punch it, and he did...I punched it and passed him in seconds, I stayed at 65 (speed limit is 55) and then I hear him screaming behind me, passed me so he was probably doing well over 90 when I saw the lights come on a trooper car. I'm sure he won that race

Well, SteelTownStang: I got the Flows now and it is my turn to have a little fun!! I actually had one pull up to me today and they just gave me a and did not want any part of me. Just the way it ought to be, he knew he was beat and accepted it. Gotta love it!

See, that's what I'm talking about...having the sound with something to back it up. Not a few beans in a coffee can rattling all over the place

LOL. You guys are a hoot. Sorry, I guess I'm an old timer, but I still remember the say when it wasn't rice burners, but anyone who had a loud exhaust and big white letter tires on their cars that were talked down about. Or, they wore bell bottoms and long hair. Common guys, I've gotten into this same argument in my car club. Yeah, I personally wouldn't be caught dead in one of those things. But, I rather support the young guy who is doing remarkable things with those little engines, rather than have them playing supernintendo or some other such nonsense.

In CA we call them "fart cans" or "fart cannons" - you can buy them at kiosks in the malls, along with other useless ricer "bling" items like park-bench wings, neon Honda logos, etc...

It's all :gay: !!!

I'd rather the punks stay at home and play with nintendo rather than buzz me with their lawnmower-sounding engines. They have no sense of humor either - once I asked a ricer if he heard a loud BEE buzzing around, he gave me the finger. Fun! Fun! Fun!

The only reason I dislike them is that they have no common sense. I mean, I'm always being tail gated by the little buzzers...and I always see them doing stupid line changes waiting for disaster to happen. I do admire some of the things they've done with those little engines, but I swear that 99% of them just have a muffler, cut-down springs and nothing else.

Everyone has a will to learn. It's all about education and these kids are not being educated to respect others. To them it's all a game, and it's about standing out. Yes, I did some stupid things as a kid. However, I never disrespected others the way these kids do it. Now, I admit that I'm generalizing and I'm pretty sure that there are some great kids out there with great values...they are just trying to fit in.

This thread was simply created to air out my morning experiences with these kids. To be honest, the only thing that bothers me is the tail gaiting. There is no way you can have a quick enough reaction if I have to suddenly stop in a heart beat. Simply put, my GT/CS will be rear ended and that would really chap my hide.
