.....and this apparently poor, misguided soul pulls up next to me in a 2002-ish VW Passat and starts revving the crap out of his engine trying to get me to race. :sm0 My wife is like..."Light him up!" Of course we were like 60 yards from the police station so there was no way I was going to bite. But still,Dude, it's a freakin Passat. I used to have one. They aren't that quick. So sad.

I don't have a problem with this. If he would have done that to me I would have chuckled and let him go, or accelerated a little faster than usual. I see this as someone that is admiring your car and is joking with you. I mean do you really think he is over there in his passat with his racing gloves on and he's gonna try to smoke you or something?

Take it as a compliment, it's no reason for a facepalm. I'd bet that the guy liked your car and wanted to hear the engine rev or thought maybe you would do something neat with it.

And I don't like it because my car is slower than Hades. Haha. Too bad for me I just bought if for looks.

they won't keep up with an SS, but I wouldn't call the passat a slouch either, at least not the new ones.

5.7 0-60 and 14.2 quarter mile make it faster than the V6 stock.

Its jealousy because your car is much hotter looking!!

linettek07 · 06-10-2012, 06:53 AM

Haha Friday night I was driving behind this beat up hatch back civic. When I pulled up next to him he leaned down and as soon as the light turned green he was trying to race me with that annoyed high pitched "eeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" exhaust sound. I wanted to kick his car over because it was such an annoying sound lol. Now because fl has had non stop rain for the last week and half I wasn't gonna race him. I trust MY car and can control MY car. I do not trust HIM or the control of his car. So I wasn't about to race him and he lose control on the wet roads and he hurt my baby. Also I had my firearm on me that night and I'm always extra cautious of the things I do when I'm carrying.

That your wife wanted you to "light him up" is hilarious. Never thought I would hear that from a woman(who wasn't driving).

Funny how carrying a manstopper changes your frame of mind.
