Annoying Late Model Nissan Sentra

fastdrvr23 · September 3, 2004

Yesterday on my way to get some dinner, I was passed on the Interstate by two younger guys in a 02' or so Yellow Nissan Sentra that was probably going at around 90mph. It caught my attention when it passed, mainly from the sounds that were spewing forth out of the back. It sounded like my old murray lawn mower with no muffler, just at a lot higher RPM's. I thought to myself, d**n, that thing is something... How the hell is that a street legal car? I mean, s**t, they could probably race that thing at Indy... It had a two-teired wing, dual upswept four inch tips on the exhaust that had melted a little of the rear bumper, a huge sticker in the back window (APC something or other) and a plastic, primer colored hood scoop. It also had the SER badging (sportier model) and the correct wheels for that one, but who knows if it was or not. Anyways, shortly after they passed me, they got on the brakes hard, to slow back down for an approaching exit, they slowed down hard enough in fact to end up behind me.

Well, I get off the interstate to go to the restaurant, and the car falls back in behind me on the exit ramp, tailgating me with about 2 inches of room. I really don't care, as I had the reciever in the hitch, so that'd be about all they'd hit...

When I merged on the four lane road at the end of the on ramp, they swung out into the inside lane and passed me, then turned on their hazard lights, while the passenger waved his arms out the window like he was having convulsions or something.

Well, as luck would have it, we ended up first in line at a stop light that soon followed, with a pretty long straight stretch ahead. As I pull up to the light, I roll my window down, I am greated by the sound of the passenger laughing really loud... He turns around to look at me and says "Nice try man! HAHAHAHAHAHA"

I got a kick out of that, and responded with "Yeah, that thing is sweet!"

Upon hearing me, the driver drops the car into neutral, it was an automatic, and starts hitting the throttle hard.... I just sit there watching the cross lights. The passenger looks back over and says something about trying it again, about the time the cross light turns yellow. I was already lightly on the brakes, and had brought the RPM's up to ~2000 Rpms by the time the light turned red in the crossing lanes.

At green, I got a surprisingly strong launch from the moster 3.42 rear end. lol.

Dingo in the piss mop, started about the same time, but it didn't much matter... By the time I let out at 70MPH or so, he was probably 30 or 35 yards behind me, with me still putting distance between us at a steady rate. When I was slowing down, he came flying by, and I said out the window "Nice Try" but I don't think he heard me over the squalling of his wretched muffler. Oh well, I enjoyed it, even if I did waste a little bit of gas in the process.

Picking on innocent young kids ... shame on you Will!

Pffft, its a shame how often this kind of stuff happens. There are too many younger kids with econoboxes where I live... and every one of them wants to race.

We still need a rematch, sucka! Just let me get the ATV out of the back first. lol

my friend and i were cruising in his diesel after he got his mbrp exhaust, edge with attitude and an intake... d**n that thing has to be the sweetest sleeper truck ever. then after about 5 blocks from his house we hear what sounds like heated rice, well sure enough it was a riced up crx with what sounded like a 2 stroke with no muffler, it had to be the most pathetic sounding piece o shi*t ever, anyways he pulls up to the passenger side and starts yelling things at us like "like yo mon you got something" so the most we could manage was a smurk and he turned the tuner to the 2nd highest setting and put it in 4wd high. My friend and i were just shaking our heads and laughing until the light turned green and the crx guy gunned it and it pulled up about 2 feet until my friend then just buries the pedal and waits for the turbo to pull in, then all of a sudden we hit 2nd gear and fly the hell by him like he was in reverse, but d**n that was a sight, i look out the window and see this black smoke with these little ricer lights back there, these little rice boxes are pathetic, i do have respect for a couple of them, but theyre all at sema, but that diesel is just way impressive, once it hits boost then you just get slammed in the seat
