ok, here it goes. it was on first day of may. in my country that is a holiday and nobody and nothing works. around 8 pm i went to a supermarked pariking to have some fun with my protege. sience i dont have a driving licence yet (im 16), i went there with a..... (****, please dont make fun of me, this is extremely difficult) mom! . im doing some oversteers, 1/4 mile tests, handbrake fun.... sudenlly a lot of well tuned cars are starting to show up around the supermarket. big guys with tuned civics, peugeots and other european and japan cars. i dont want to bother and i drive away from them to the other side of a parking field. from out of nowere a BMW 325 shows up, i slow down, he slows down, i floor it he floors it. i say WFT? stop, hit the emergency button. he stops next to me, rolls down his window and says. Yo kid, what do you have here? in croatia only rednecks and lowlifes drive tuned BMW and VW. i take a look in his car, he has a bunch of stuff hanging from the rear view mirror. of course, a macho tatoo on a hand and a Jesus around his neck which probably weights around 0.5 kg. so, he starts buggin me with kid this kid that. after 30 seconds of talking to a lowlife, he crossed the border. he says: "you know, this is a car, BMW, not THIS japan ****." the stupidiest thing i ever did was the following. remember, im 16 and i weight about 68kg, he is about 30 and weights about 120kg. so i say: "why dont you take that big fat german crap and stick it in your ***!" when i closed my mouth i realized what i just did! i pissed of a 120 kg wild pig! he said a few nasty words, i started my protege and coasted away to the guys that started a meeting, they look ok, if i need protection i will find it here
of course, as soon as i moved my car, the ******* started to follow, he is like, 1-2 inches on my rear bumper. i floor it to be closer to that group of people. as soon as i got there, i hitted the brakes to get some attention, rolled down the window and said. "hi guys! im in trouble! do you know this ******* (the ******* is coming in really fast!)? some guy approaches and says: "no, we see him here for the first time." i say: " i pissed him off really bad!" and again im runnin to the other part of a parking filed. i stoped something like 250-300 meters away from the group of people, the ******* pulled next to me and started to rev his german thing, i think, o ****, my first race. i rev it up to 2500-3000 rpm, he starts and i drop it a second after him (there was no start light or something). he is a RWD 2.5 liter engine and im a FWD 1.6 SOHC. i hit it in the second and he is right next to me, then i say to myself, lets do it! pedal to the medal, zoom zoom starts singing, i feel like im flying and the big german ******* is behind me and behind me and behind me.......... i hit the brakes because there is no road left and stop next to that group of people, i smoked him for something like 2-3 lenghts of car on 200-300 meters. he didnt stop, he just run away to the highway and couldnt belive that a 12 year old 1.6 SOHC Protege with a 16 year old kid smoked him! i was so scared! turned of my car, my legs were shaking. i start walking toward the group of people with a smile on my face, they are all looking at me (10-15 people, not more). some guy starts walkin toward me and says:" ****, i cant belive this!" i say: "me neither!" he asks:" what do you have under the hood" i say: "stock 1.6" everybody started to laugh. you had to see teir faces when i told them how old i am. but what a hell! my first race! and i won! and i smoked a BMW 325!!!!! lalalalalala. what a wonderfull world.

1.6 SOHC Protege, all stock!!!!!!! i love it!
of course, it is not going to be stock for ever!

 

are you sure the guy wasn't just going the speed limit to get on the highway, did he even now that you were racing him?

 

he knew what he is doing because he started it, that place usualy is used as a drag strip, when he realized that i got him, he gave up.

 

The dude chased him through the parking lot. I'm pretty sure this was meant as a joke.

 

it was not a joke! you should seen his face! psycho killer! its not that i was scared but..... it was really cool! and the race was a race, not a parking lot chase!

 

No, I quoted Daniel and though what he said was a joke. I believe your story.

 

when your legs and body tremble and shake .. It is just basically your adrenaline ..
hehe
that happens

 

All that with your MOM in the car? Wow, you have a cool mom!

 

heck yeah!!

 

first she was in the car, after few handbrake turns, slaloms with oversteers, she said:"stop there, im going out!" mom is the best!

 

heh heh thats kool my mom woulda freaked if i did anything like that AND I HAVE A LICENSE!!!

 

my mom would probably freak out.. and then try it out for herself haha

 

she was convinced that she can do everything. i must say, she drives well in town, but as soon as you get on a highway, she is totaly scared. sometimes we have to drive few miles behind a 18-wheeler because she does not dare to overtake him, and when i make her to do it, she does it in fifth gear, without shifting down, that looks pretty scary.

 

overtaking without shifting down... scary dude

actually trucks and buses here are as*holes. when in the freeway they actually accelerate when you're about to pass him.... dangerous

 

yes but when you start overtaking him, you already have enough power so bus or a truck cant be faster! btw. i was on the same place today (that parking lot) but this time my friend was with me too and we had about 200 pounds of rocks in the trunk (dont ask why). today i was disapointed with my pro for the first time frist of all, i wanted to see my 0-60mph time (3 persons in a car and some rocks). so, i rev it up to 4000 rpm and drop the clutch, clutch was slipping terribbly, hit it to 2nd and clutch slipps like you greased it! then i missed 3rd and shifted in 5th, than shifted to 3rd, it allready passed something like 13 sec and i was on 80 kph i know that my clutch is pretty worn out for quite long time. do you guys how much does the clutch for a 1st gen pro LX costs?
thnx
