Being that I'm an old man now at 32, I long ago gave up revving engines against the guy next to me, and I don't street race--mostly.

What I do find, though, are times when I do try to beat the car next to me, like when two lanes narrow to one. There's this one spot on my daily commute where I get off the highway, and the exit has two lanes. Almost all the traffic--including me--goes left at the second light after the exit. So the left lane on the exit ramp stacks up, and the right lane is usually empty. So sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I'll sneak into the right lane and then when the light changes, I'll gun it a little so I can get over to the left. Or, bastard that I am, when I'm in the left lane and someone tries to pull what I described, I'll gun it so I beat them to the next light.

It's not exactly racing, but it kinda is. Does that count?

If so, then I bitch-slapped an Altima (not a new one) this morning...

All over town there are places like that going onto the highway. I always do that. Aslo when Im finally on the highway I gun it so the traffic already going highway speeds can't pass me. so I can get out of the right hand lane.

Yeah, this is on the street, though--at the top of the ramp after getting OFF the highway...

It still seems like you still have the racer in you still... lol. I'm only 20yrs old so I 'm still at the stage were i think everyone is trying to race me. But if you think you are racing therefore it would be considered a street race even if the other person don't know you are trying to race them.

Sometimes it seems they know. I get a lot of informal kills this way, even against cars that should be faster (more HP) because most people drive automatics, which suck for this.
