The other day on the way to work, I saw some douche with his seat reclined so much that you could only see his head through the backseat door's window. How can somebody actually drive like that?

They can't, thats why we have such a high accident rate in the US.

Best part is they never wear seat belts...so when they crash...they go face first into the steering wheel and then destroy their knees on the dash frame and shatter both ankles on the firewall and pedals.

Years ago I sat at a set of traffic lights on my bike (Honda CBX750) in front of me were two cars side by side one was a "hot hatch" I don't remember which; the Fiesta XR2 lookalike or a Golf GTi lookalike but they certainly weren't the actual version. But anyway he was revving his obviously powerful 1.1L engine and taunting the other driver to a race and no doubt show his girlfriend (possibly his mother witht he weekly shopping I couldn't see that clearly through the bubbled stick on tinted glass flim he had) Anyways the light turned green and Mr Leadfoot took off and the other car driver seemed to think what the hell I'll give him what he wants and took off too... Only he was actually faster than boy racer.

Boy racer firmly set his hairless chin and floored it, no doubt hoping for that warpfactor moment when everything at the edges sorta speedblurs. What he what he got was something else. There was this big bang and suddenly black smoke which quickly changed to white smoke belched out of the exhaust and, I'm not kidding either, sparks were in the smoke too. Question to any Engine mechacnic: That's not a good sign is it?

So I'm poodling along behind (with only an eighth of the throttle open I hasten to add) enjoying the show of these two cars side by side racing down the road in front of me. The road was wide enough to do this by the way. I expected ol' pizza face to slow down as I could hear the knocking from the engine 40ft behind and whilst wearing a crash hat.

Oh no ... Mr Fantastic just keeps on going, foot to the floor and clouds of smoke and sparks billowing from the exhaust. Somehow his opponent must have taken pity on the poor sap or the dying engine and slowed his own car down to allow said pimple factory to get past him. As he ruthlessly took advantage of this chivalrous act the legendary Lego Kid puts his arm out the window and punches the air as if he's some sort of F1 driver going over the finishing line.

It was then that I sorta lost control of the bike and had to pull over as the tears of laughter were too much.

I recovered my composure and found Mr Mario Andretti half a mile down the road in a layby, bonnet popped, heat haze over the engine and thin oily smoke coming from the engine bay. I gave him that slow shake of the head and rode on past.

Expensive day for him and his car, but hey, at least he one the race.

Sounds to me as though the current brand of boy racers aren't much different, only nowadays chances are it's a stolen car if it doesn't show some obvious signs of being souped up... Soup as in Campbells Creme of mushroom soup that is.

Biker that is hilarious!

A few years ago in town at night, drizzling rain, at a set of traffic lights, two boy racers pull up, one in a VT commodore ute and the other in an older VK commodore sedan. I am to their right on the other part of the intersection also waiting for the lights to change.

Their lights went green, both these guys floor it but the ute doesnt make it far before all control is lost in the rain. The ute which was orginally in the left-hand lane makes a sudden right turn, slides for a while in the next lane and then mounts the traffic island in the middle.

The traffic island is a perfect fit ! The car had the front wheels and the back wheels now of the ground but only by a few millimeters. So whats he do ? He floors the throttle (god knows if the driveline was rubbing on the ground but it didnt matter to him.) The car gently rocks back and forth as it tries to get a grip on the road below and suddenly hes off again at 90degress to the flow of traffic.

The ute goes straight across the road through the oncoming traffic which brake to avoid him, and then he makes quite a nice 360 degree spin and stops... floors it again and ends up facing the oncoming traffic. Floors it once more make a 180degree spin and goes back towards the traffic lights he just went through.

Now any other moron would turned off the road and hidden somewhere... but no. The lights by this stage are green for me and he charges through the red lights almost hitting me and makes yet another u-turn to catch up with his mate !

Another time a young fellow was driving an obviously tubro-charged VL commodore (aftermarket turbo and intercooler could be seen poking out the bottom of the front bumper). This guy musta been either stupid, or...well...stupid.

It appeared he was test running the car (as it was a side street). And at hard throttle a very loud amount of back firing could be heard. So instead of easing off.... he did it over and over and over as if to punish the motor. All the time it was popping and farting (and it sound like a cyclinder was dropping offline the harder he went).

Thats good work.... spend $1000s sticking a turbo to your motor... and then thrash the piss out of it when it didnt run right.

These HiPo Ricer Rockets with pop-off valves that make the car sound like it's got a cold seem to be the Bee's Knees...but if you've only got a crap car and are too lame to either save for a better car..or just accept you've got a crap car....

what kids are doing now is mounting stereo speakers out in the wheel-well and playing A RECORDING OF A POP-OFF VALVE!!!!!!!...what's worse they're leaving the CD playing while sitting idling at the lights forcrisakes!....IT'S SO EMBARRASSSING TO WATCH...they don't even know how stupid they look!!!!!

Hey wow, I feel much more special now, my Capri's carburettor spits and sneezes at lights and sometimes petrol vapour explodes in the inlet manifold when throttling up. Sounds brutal.

I was simply going to fix it, but I might wait for the fad to reach England first and look all cool for a month or two and then fix it

In the UK people sell things like dump valves (come on guys, what's a 'blow-off valve'??? I mean really, that sounds so lame) powered by C02 rather than a recording of a dump valve... which, I'm sure you'll agree, is slightly worse.
