I lose every day. Contrary to popular opinion, Civics are economy cars, not racecars.

We were tied the whole way but he edged me out at the end. The end being where the road went from 2 lanes to 1 he had the lead by < a carlength so i had to back off so not to cause an accident.

🙁

Im a bit distraught over this.

So you're supposed to rub one off while racing? Sounds like a bit of a distraction to me...

"I call it the stranger. What I do is, I sit on my hand for, like, 15, 20 minutes,
until it goes numb. No feeling at all. And then I rub one out. "

BTW OP: Racing in public in the rain? You're an idiot.

there is a big diff racing in the suburbs than in a city. there were no sidestreets intersecting our path or any intersections. I guess a deer could have jumped out of the woods but that was about the biggest danger.

I wasnt impressed by this one in that case. Better road conditions and a longer track I would have taken him. My optimal accelleration comes @ 80+ mph and If I was that close to him carrying 700+ lbs. more curb weight .....thats even worse.
 
'00 740i - 1/4 mile times: 15.5 sec
'06 CLK500 - 1/4 mile times: 14 sec

Me: 14.3 sec. So do you still wanna race or not?😀

I don't think he was racing. He was accelerating quickly, you were racing.
