along those lines if i want to see who's car is faster in a straight line. NOT "u wanna RACE". How can u possibly race on the streets, the word itself makes one sound like a 2 year old. And the stranger u "raced" and beat on the hi-way might not know ur intentions.
Sorry, just getting sick of all this "race" ****.

they would indeed try to go faster than you...but only out of fear of what you are implying.

I really don't understand what distinction you're drawing. You say you'll ask someone to "go at it" in order to "see who's car is faster in a straight line". Am I missing something? Isn't this who's-car-is-faster exercise called racing? You also say, "the word itself makes one sound like a 2 year old". So using the word "race" is immature but actual street racing...excuse me, I meant seeing who's car is faster in a straight line on a public street...isn't? Maybe I'm just tired this late at night, but I don't get it.

I know i know, but i try to say that to people i know.

back when I could actually win a few, we would usually say "wanna run it?" If you said "you wanna go at it?" to somebody here, they would probably get out and roll up their sleeves...

I don't think I saw that you can't be a 4 door in there. Perhaps I should re-read it.

A race is just a contest of speed. What's your problem?
