Default Focus tried to show off

Funny little thing happened tonight while i was waiting for my pizza in my local shopping center. Im with my friend in my Z just talking and out of know where behind me with little kids running around, this red ford focus revs to about 6 grand and just dumps the clutch driving past me behind me where i was parked. It had to be one of the dumbest things i have seen somone do in a car in a long time. The Z really gets people wriled up for some reason. In the past 2 days i have had a 98 eclipse and a 1.8 gti try to race me. This car is a magnet for street racing. Just thought i would share this. and how dumb some people can be with their cars in highly populated areas.

I still laugh to this moment, like in a focus?? was he expecting me to be like sweeeet!.... The funny thing is not 20 minutes later on teh way home he was stopped right next to me he was in the right hand turn lane where as i was going straight, and i just gave him a look like( was i suposed to be impressed?? I drive a a car with a sticker price of 38,550 and your going to try and be cool in a ford focus, i dont waste my time with idiotic people. Dont get me wrong I pay for my car, my car is my luxury, i dont shop for myself i never go out to eat. My Z is my only luxury expence i have.

Sorry for the venting. OH and btw I thought it was funny how he was in his 30's ;-)

some ***** tried to race me on I-40 the other day, I declined and just ignored them. About 20 miles up they were pulled over by a state trooper. makes me laugh, everyone wants to race the Z for some reason.

Honestly, that sounds like it could be one of the more legitimate races mentioned in this thread so far though.

My car gets its fair share of attention as well. It seems to get that much more since I put the intake duct in as well. It takes a lot for me to bite, and I just dont waste my time when I know its not worth it.

I had another Z blow by me on the highway last night. Thats the most attention I really seem to get, either Z's or G's.

I dont get alot of rice trying to run me. Iv had a heavily modded MR2 Turbo try to run me and a middle aged guy in one of the new corvettes. All the POS cars around here know not to mess with the Z's i guess . Its funny cause cars will rev at me like they wanna race and when they get stuck at a light beside me they take off sloooowwwlllyyy, lol.
