I don't know if it counts as a kill or not. Like 2pac said only God can judge me :buttrock and forum members I guess

It happened an hour ago. On the way to work obeying the law on Sunrise if anyone here from Sac-town, they know the easiest place to get a ticket is on Sunrise. Anyway, I came to stop light and in front of me a Volvo basically a family car Wagon. I would say 940 don't know what year. Help me out with specs on Volvo cause im not a big fan of Volvo. There's about 6 to 8 car on the stop light and light turns green and he starts to lead the crowd. So we all passed around 4 to 5 stop lights after which there's a potential threat came out of nowhere and guess what it is. Honda Civic 89 :eyecrazy .
I'm still driving the speed limit and enjoying the show and Volvo was speanking the Civic badly even though Civic had a big ricer Exhaust. I guess it didn't help. Next stop I somehow lined up with those 2 racers. Since we almost at the end of the Sunrise and I assured myself that it's OK to launch with them since I was confident with the outcome of the race.

I shifted to 1st and light turns green I applied half a force on gas and all I see Volvo leading by half a car. I couldn't believe my eyes. But soon I caught up to him and we were dead even until the next light. Honda was nowhere to be seen, but noise from his loud exhaust was leading the race :D

Next stop light we couldn't line up due to car in front of the Volvo. Light turns green I step on the gas and make room for Volvo to pass a car in front of him. We're rolling at about 25-28 mph and I hunk three times and we're on again. I was walking on him on 2nd gear and 3rd i was 2 car lenght on him. After which I signaled him a good race and turned right since i'm late to work. He starts to follow me. I rolled down the window and said Good race but I'm late for work. He said 1 more time so I hunk three times again and we're rolling at about 32 mph. I'm leading by one car length on 2nd and 3rd he's 2 1/2 cars behind me. After that I shuted it down. GAve him a thumbs up and I'm late to work. Funny part is all those times we lined up Honda lined up also. I guess as long as you have a ricer exhaust you qualify to be in the race.

Sorry for such a long write up. My first kill story. A critique or commentary more than welcome.

The word " rice " is overused here simply because they have an exhaust. I have a Remus exhaust, so is my BMW "riced" out? Hondas are slow, but that word Rice is used left and right...

Naw sorry no offense but I was talking about some generic brand and the ones that doesn't make any difference in performance of the car. I also have a Dinan Exhaust but that doesn't make a ricer right :)
Anyway sorry if you got offended

Nice man. You have to watch out for some of the volvos in sacramento. I also have a volvo. There was a nasty red 240 2door before sold it. It walked z06's all day long. Now he has a yellow 850 with a built motor and turbo. Has around 350whp. Good for mid to high 12's with traction. There is also another with a 940 sedan with nice sized turbo(lol), 16 valve conversation, and built bottom end.

Thx for your advice Booster and support. Tell you the truth I wasn't going to race him since I don't have any major mods on my car. Only Dinan exhaust and crapy intake which im planning to change soon.

Also I have a general question. I don't know which I should do first, work on performance of the car or get staggered CSL which I'm crazy about?
Any suggestion, advices and even critiques are more than welcome.

Save the csl for later get more power. more power = more kills. i have seen a couple volvo wagons that were kinda fast for a wagon atleast. had some soccer mom jump me at a light one time. i was shocked. she pinned it and never let off. she though it was awesome till i floored it in second and blew by her. well now that i think about it they really arent that fast. get some mods and smoke him next time.

I don't really race until I get my s50, which should give me a little more confidence :)
