Scaring unsuspecting passengers! (Share yours too!)

[speedsports]

I'm still laughing about this, but this is how it went down. We just came back from lunch and there is a small straight followed by a sharp left hand turn right before my office. In the passenger seat, i have a friend whom is not into cars, and until a little bit ago, had no idea what a speed3 could do. I told him i was gonna try and scare him and he replied "whatever..." I floored it from 2nd gear and i could see from the corner of my eye that he immediately grabbed the Oh Sh!t handle and his face got serious. As im putting 4th gear, I still had 50yds till the beginning of the corner, and I see his foot slamming on the floor (he must of been thinking he had a brake pedal on that side too) I'm still accelerating at this point, then I tap the brakes, heel and toe to third, and continue on the corner, accelerating on the apex... he didnt speak for a good five minutes, and both me and the other passenger could not stop laughing....

wish I had my camera....

it went something like this, except my passenger was not hot like she is....

I was driving some people from work today to lunch. My boy was sitting in the back with another girl who's ridden before, but another cute girl who has never ridden before was sitting up front with me. I took it slow getting to the main drag, but then I took a left with the window rolled down and hit the WOT. My nano made all it's wonderful noises, and it was a clean, rolling run from 15 up to about 75 as fast as the MS3 can do it. The girl next to me said, "ooooooo! This car has some... speed!" I loved it man.

Yesterday another cute girl from work was in the back and I actually gave her motion sickness. She said, "I'm just not used to fast cars with the, the, the stick thingy. Not that it's bad!"

I can definitely relate to your story speedsports... I haven't found one person who has been in the car with me and not been surprised... I had these two girls with me one night; one of them is kinda a gear head, but hot too, I know it's like a dream come true... Anyway The other girl had no clue so I launched it from a red and hit a wide sweeping corner rather fast (sssh) she might of had to change her underwear when I was finished... It was priceless "OH MY GOD, SLOW DOWN, I HATE FAST CARS!" That one is the funniest and then all my friends who come in the car are like, "holy s***", this mazda3 has some balls, that is when I say yea I told you it was a SPEED3, I guess some people are "speed" illiterate..(rofl)

Scaring girls FTW...

Although my girlfriend asked me to never speed while she is in the car. gulp.

My mom was completely against me getting a bike as well. I just went and got one without her knowing. A month later she found out haha. But it's ALOT easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

Now back on topic, the MS3 impresses a lot of people. Especially if they've never heard of the car before. They have no idea that it's a sleeping hatch back.

I'm more into the hit the gas when my friends are drinking some water or if they reach down infront of them to fix their shoe or something, I'mm hit it and it's always a good laugh.

I try not to drive crazy with girls in the car though, I dont want it to seem like i'm trying to be a bad ass. haha. I have fun with only me in the car usualy, so if s*** goes south; I don't have someone else's blood/injury on my hands

 

[speed3guy]

I get told by alot of my friends that I scare the s*** out of them cause I wont stop till like Im right on the red light! I like the thrill of going from 80mph to 0 in like 3 seconds haha! I always like my corners and turns too! I give them advanced warning though when Im doing that.

Was returning from a movie the other night, was a late flick. Girlfriend and I up front, and then another girl on the passenger side back seat.. The girls were having a joke at my expense, going back and forth, and I was just kind of taking it. . . yeah yeah yadda yadda..

Mind you, It's my P5...so it's not like I'm launching anyone anywhere.., but I decided it was time for the "emergency lane change" test, with they were in mid sentence. .(was on an access road, went from left lane to right lane really quick).

Turns out, the girl in back didn't have her seat belt on, (SHAME! I'm usually pretty good about checking that sort of thing) and i just saw her fly passed from right to left in the rear view mirror, hitting a REALLY high octave.

It was hilarious though.

 

[blinduno]

so my best one is sending a friend into a panic attack.

i can over a hill that does something like cork screw down the backside, as we crest the hill the rear of the car lightens up, and slides slighty into the corner, this was about 40 maybe 45... she didnt say anything at all while coming down the hill in the corners but after words and when she was able to breathe again she kicked and screamed. still yells at me when i bring it up, and still wont get in the car with me anymore. haha

Good point, me too.... But that particular occasion was an acceptance..

 

[Smokehouse]

I had a modded '03 Cobra that would really put the fear of God into people...and the blower whine, man was that thing a monster...

Haven't tried it in the MS3 yet but I'm not expecting the same response, that Cobra was plain scary.

 

[Mocoso]

I had a friend who rode in the speed and thought it was a normal 3... He was scared to death as I was getting on the freeway and coming off the onramp and he saw a semi barreling down at us (I was still in 2nd and below 3K rpm) and thought we were going to get mushed... he screamed SEEMMIIIIII all the way to 4th!

 

[squidmotion]

my boss.. 50yrs old... drives a civic 4-door.. vegetarian... needs a ride to pick up her car, so i pick her up in front of the building, and she hops in.. off we go.. 'new car? what is it, again?'

'it's a mazda 3'

'i like the seats!, and it sounds good! how does (mrs. squid) like it?'

stange words from my very composed, cool cat, el jefe (wonderful lady, the best person one could ever hope to work for)...

now we are in traffic, so i can't really do anything, but as we pull out onto the service road and freeway, i step on it a little getting up the ramp, like i usually do, maybe a little more, just to make sure it sank in.. hehehe... i can feel the shock and awe from the right seat.

a few seconds go by, after i have it up and on highway speed...

in total john belushi, she says, 'hmm...car's got pickup'

we both cracked up.. she knew then it was no ordinary mazda..

 

[ZyrehT]

I made my wifes uncle wet himself a little when I cranked it into a cloverleaf at 90, he drives a pickup.

did this to my roommate in her car (Equinox). We're driving to the house and there are reflectors in the middle of the road. So I get this great idea and pronounce "Slalom", to which I get a response "Huh?". Next thing i hear is a whap and "Oooww!! damnit wtf was that?"

I kind of felt bad...but it was too funny

BAHAHAH! i'm gonna try that one day. We got all kinds of freshly paved 4 lane roads around here... Image ur just cruising and the driver shouts "SLALOM!" and then you start weaving between the reflectors in the middle of the road....

(drive2)

i'd have fun.
