Was on my way home yesterday from work. Had to pick up my 2 kids from school. On the way from my sons school, a ricer in a civic, pulled up next to me at a light. He reved his powerful 1.8 liter engine(LOL). What made it worse was his 2 boyfriends smiling at me...pushing for a race! With my 2 sons (9 and 5yrs old) in the car i decided against it. Didnt feel like hearing my wife... cause my oldest would report back to her for sure. LOL...anyways i think i made the right decision...although would ve loved to catch them at night while im alone!

Good move! Got to set a good example for the boys.

[JudisStang]

I agree with Stl! Nice job! You showed your kiddies restraint and respect!!

[tehmustang]

good job keeping the kiddos safe, maybe you can get him alone sometime

[daboyho50]

If only the kids weren't in the car. . . Nice job though, I respect that

[pyro1730]

acting with a cool and level head and making the right decision is a win in my book, plus it's a great example for the kids.

[ChaosFury]

Nice kill! Not stepping down to their level and at the same time protecting your children. Let alone having a better car and a safe family!

I can only imagine: "Ok kids, close your eyes because daddy is going into warp speed!" *after the race* "Now laugh at the silly teens in that car."

[big8ter]

much respect for that

[Deeve]

My Dad would have raced them

He would have said "hold on kids" then gunned it. He used to do stuff like passing on a double yellow. Hold on kids, this jack*** is going too slow. hahaha.

Sometimes my dad was the best.

Good choice, I may show my a$$ once in a while. But never when the kids are with me.

[3valve46]

my om used to race with me in the car,
now i love cars.good restraint on your part.

[derklug]

Your more mature than I, but my kids say that I am the world's nightmare.... a 12year old with a license and money.

[2oo5GT]

+1 on your part to hold back. I never do anything with the boys in the car. If i race someone and something happens to me, that's my choice but i'm never going to make that choice with them in the car.
Though back in SC, seems like everyone wanted to mess with me when I had the boys.

I have been in the same situation with my 9 month old son in the car. I wanted to race this loser, just not with my lil guy in the car. I seen him on the street about 2 months later and waxed it.

Good call on not racing with the little ones in the car. You will probably see him again when you are alone. Then you can smoke 'em.

[phrogusmc]

good call. Besides. WE all know you could beaten that guy while driving in reverse.
