I travel for my job 5 days a week with an average of 200 Km per day, and needless to say you have to make it a little bit fun if your gonna continue doing this for years to come without going insane. Having Sennheiser earbuds blasting funky music (Stuart Zender bitches!) merely functioning as a pain killer.
So what do you do? Race of course! Now I got to admit having a Honda Accord 2003:
Problem?
Should if anything discourage me from even going beyond 140 KM max, if anything to avoid embarrassment and the obvious fact I won't be able to sustain such speeds with a weak engine (compared to all the Maximas, BMWs, Camrys and Mitsus hovering around).
But no, what this car lacks in accelerating power it compensates with stability on road and awesome control...or maybe I'm awesome. Or both. Anyway I also purchased Bridgestone tyres so I have to make a good excuse for spending top dollar on high performance tires.
It started out like any man-teenager driven affair, keep raping the speed pedal until one of you finds an old man infront of you or gets scared enough to back down. No skill required, nothing complicated, hardly something to get addicted about.
Drive Fast and die tryin----->
Imma be crazy if you don't mind!
Problem is in my country where the only alternative entertainment is chasing women which in turn means getting chased by police and playing cards by the camp fire along with the occasional football , competing with other for alpha dog status is just about the only fun we got left. So if you see another dude speeding past by you, chase dat shit!
Needless to say with that incredibely noobish way of driving comes two things:
and:
As you can imagine driving at +190 KMs only to find a bunch of old people constantly stuck infront of you (remember, no skills driver, pure rape speed) and having to deacclerate to speeds the police deem whateva (typically under 140 KM) which, along with absolutely no focus on the road is like Mission Impossible V (it has less female casts and more oil).
Add to that the countless near death experiences and you can see why anyone who gets away alive would just settled down and became a bum at his parents house and never evolve:
Drive Fast or die tryin ----->It takes two pedals to Tango ------>
I didn't press the Button, I instead learned that I can lessen my chances to take a truck down the hill if I press the breaks and learned to read distances infront of me. Sure I found myself not driving as fast enough lagging behind other, more modern cars who can accelerate at a fast rate than me, but this evolution is perhaps why I'm in this mess in the first place. One it taught me I can drive fast and not die, and most importantly, driving is now an:
Get it? Street Arti...eh never mind <_<
Alright so right now my pattern of driving is resembling more of a yo-yo, going up and down from high speeds when racing freely to incredibly boring speeds until the law abiding jackass infront moves away or the 3 lanes on the right become magically free.
It gets pretty boring very fast, the adrenaline lessens over the time and the tickets aren't becoming more scarcer either. In fact there is nothing more embarrassing than losing a race then to lead them by a comfortable lead and then get stopped by a cop and have them point and laugh at you while they take advantage of the situation and drive faster than they did before:
Worst feeling, evar
Thanks for being a police mouse trap AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
This is starting to resemble a strategy based war with amateurs and police being my enemies. So first things first, let's take care of this ticket nonsense once and for all. Also they started implementing Speed Cameras on the road WITHOUT any warning signs. Based on my experience so far, I noticed these things:
Drive Fast or die tryin ----->It takes two pedals to Tango ------>Stealth Racer-------->
1) Stationary police can radio patrol cars infront of them so it doesn't mean just because the one who saw you drive fast didn't chase you that your scot free. Lessen learned? If you see a bloody police car in the distance, slow down and keep driving like that until he disappears out of your sight. Also, the radio only reaches a certain distance in case they have permenant check points on city entrances, so if there's like 10 KMs left until the check point arrives, start driving slow.
2) The speed limit may be 120 KM, but most cops won't consider you speeding unless you break the 140 KM barrier, which is nice since I have adpated myself to cruise at 160 KM, and dropping to 140 is hella of a lot easier. I learned that because dem lazy folks always scribble 140 KM regardless of my actual speed.
3) Speed cameras were installed in jeeps of all sorts, but they never moved around their area, so I just went ahead and painted certain areas in my mind speed free.
Needless to say, my usual ticket tally dropped from 3-5 a month to ZERO. You heard that right, I became a stealth driver!
I'm rich bitch AHAHAHAHAHAHAH
OK so that solved a problem. Now there was the question of how I was gonna overcome my inherit disadvantage of having an old, regular sedan racing against more powerful muscle. And then it hit me, not all lanes are occupied at the same time. With a little bit of focus, foresight and control of the car I can squeeze through lanes and bypass long cues of BMWs and Mercedases while I cruise in the slow lanes and then return to where I was, leaving my opponents in the dust!
The only thing I need to concentrate on was the following:
1) Drivers that looked like they were gonna switch lanes
2) Drivers that have no intention have moving from infront of you so you save time by just going around them
3) Looking for an "opening" up front and whether or not just staying in the fast lane stuck is better than driving in the slower lanes only to find a huge truck infront of you and getting pushed back many ranks behind.
Drive Fast or die tryin ----->It takes two pedals to Tango ------>Stealth Racer--------> Alpha Dog------->
I don' know if I'm inventing stuff or not, but all this time overworking my car has made it's response exceptionally well, in other words when I press the gas pedal nowadays my car just revs up immediately, I can hit 140 KM from standing point after 7 seconds for instance. They certainly didn't help my addiction. Also people with speedy cars are now signalling for races all the time, and if they don't, my ultra stable cruising at insane speeds, taking steep corners at +100 KM and me fooling around by going from the far right lane to the far left would do the trick. I had a pack following me, I had a reputation to defend, I can't stop anymore.
Nothing can hinder me, you block my path I'll go around you, you put police infront of me and I'll outsmart you, you somehow gain an advantage of several KMs infront of me and I'll find you eventually and outspeed you. This sense of overpowering triumph is good if it weren't for the fact that the tires can burst at such high speed any day now, stupid drivers my make a wrong move and appear suddenly in my path, I am a human so any mistake I make can also be very costly...
I'm now heading into either:
Drive Fast or die tryin ----->It takes two pedals to Tango ------>Stealth Racer--------> Alpha Dog-------> He was such a nice guy
or
Drive Fast or die tryin ----->It takes two pedals to Tango ------>Stealth Racer--------> Alpha Dog-------> Youtube Sensation
Anyone had anything similar to this? I just want to slow down before I do something to myself.
