    Question Whats it mean when someone gives you the flashers??

    After you run with em a couple times, and then they put on the emergency flashers, and either speed off, or slow down and get off the highway??

    I've also seen it done a lot in race videos that ive seen on the internet....I've wondered what that meant for soo long....

    it means you've been stomped into the ground and they are laughing at you... or they barely pulled it out and want to let everyone else know you have sucked at life...

    The only time I get the flashers is when they are behind me and that signals me that they want to race either at the nearest stoplight or get on the freeway

    hahhh YEAH they're slow!! Mine is just stripped out inside and has bolt-ons so i can go a TAD bit quicker than the standard cav.....I pulled even with him from 70 up to somewhere around 90, when my car shifted into 3rd.....My 3rd gear SUCKKKKKKKSSS BALLLLZZZ....so thats when i got LEFT.....

    Besides, i mean....My car has a governor on it that wont let me go quicker than 110 anyways, so...until i get that taken care of, thats alll the speed ill be able to make....They ARE a slow car, but can become quick with the right kind of tlc and $$$.....
