Default why can't i find

i don't know if this is the right forum for this but i just had to vent. since i got my turbo about a month ago i have come across only one race. and even then i couldn't give it a full go because of misfiring issues. it just seems that whether or not i am looking for races i can't seem to run across any. every time i see a car that is modified or even something that i know is fast from the factory, they are going to other way on a highway that i can't turn around on.
the other day i was bored so i went out just cruising and hoping i would spot a race. sure enough i saw countless cars that might have a go at it going to other way. there was one point that i was able to turn around in a parking lot to go after someone but got stuck at two traffic lights. by the time i got through the lights this car was long gone. and it never fails as i get to the part of the highway where there is no possibility to turn around, there goes another possible race... the other way
this is all me just ranting, sorry you guys and girls for making you read all this. thanks for taking a peek. later

i think you should fix your misfiring issues before you go looking for races.. lol j/k

The best thing to do is to NOT look for trouble. But when you do happen to come across a nice car be sure to lay the smackdown with your turbo k.

lol, trust me I aint that dumb. But yah, it ended up being just a cracked spark plug that caused the misfires and compression leak.

The racers always seem to come out of the woodwork when I'm just cruising minding my own business. When I'm actually feeling a bit primed for a run, there is nothing to be found.

I ALWAYS have people trying to race me, and it's ALWAYS when there's a wall of traffic and police around.

"Oh you look soooo cool going WOT and having to slam your brakes .01 seconds later."

I'm honestly very tired of asshat F&F wannabes, and I would love to not have anyone bother me for a while. Sometimes I do enjoy a good run with a cool person, but it's rare. Recently I had a G35 Sedan get all road ragey on me after I beat him. It was crazy, and it reminded me that the world is full of assholes and idiots.
