I was with my wife on the way home on the freeway and I saw some black bug in my rear view cutting people off thinking they are in Nascar. They ended up behind me tailing off and on acting stupid so I did the right thing and tapped my brake to back them off. What made me laugh hard was that it was 2 guys in the car that looked like they were gangster racers or something. Whatever they were, it looked hella funny seeing 2 guys in a bug pretending they were in a Skyline or something.

Anyways, they ended up in front of me and we both got off on the same exit. We ended up at a red light so the guy rolls up his windows. At first i wasnt going to do anything but I decided to keep it safe and not over do it. I just wanted to humiliate them. So light goes green we take off...I hit 2nd gear for a few seconds then let off the gas at about 40 mph looking back at a ridiculous Bug over a car length behind. They catch up roll down their windows and slam on the brakes right next to me as I take a right turn. People these days. I should have just not raced them.

 

lol i hate stupid people! we reffur to those wannabe racers as looptards around here. couse they always try to race in crowded traffic on the business loop. were they teens? and what were you driving? oh and congrats on puttin the drivers of that eurotrash egg in their place!

 

They had to be in the 18-22 range...seemed somewhat older. I whooped their @$$ in a 99 Eclipse GST (5-speed). But yeah those guys deserved what they got thinking their POS Bug could beat a GST.

 

im not defending those people that were driving like *** holes, but i will defend the bug. i do not think that bugs are P.O.S's what so ever. i have a bug in the family and it seems to never break. recently i have put some "herbie" decals on it.

 

Allow me to rephrase...in terms of sports car/street racer the Bug is a POS. Every other aspect its a reliable car. But tell me...if that guy continues to drive his Bug that way, will it not break down? I seriously doubt it. Any car can be broken down if abused as much as that Bug was.

 

true, if that car is beat to crap its going to be like any other car. i hear the turbo bugs are pretty quick tho. you should check it out.

 

Turbo bugs are quick, but the regular is sloooooooooooooow.
