I often get your run of the mill ricer fly-bys, the "I drive an average *** car but I want to race" guy, and the "let's cut this guy off and slow down to see if he'll floor it by me to see what he's got under the hood" move......ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME!!!! It's ridiculous I get people in Jeeps, Trucks, Minivans, you name it try to get me to race with them. I just laugh half the time and smoke past 'em with a throttle punch lasting all of a second. It's ridiculous though the types of cars I've seen try to accelerate on me.

 

I had an incident happen to me yesteday. I was cruising along at about 40mph (speed limit is 35mph) and all of a sudden an '06 MC LT comes flying up on my tail. I just keep a steady cruise going while this guy drops back then flys up on my tail again over and over. When I get to the stop light he pulls up next to me, rolls his window down and asks me what I have under the hood. I look over at him, smile, and say 'an engine' to which he gives me a puzzled look. As I pull away from the light he kept his passenger window even with the back of my car for a minute, then dropped back about 5 or 6 car lengths and stayed there. I guess the tone of my exhaust and the sound of the CAI sucking in air had him wondering what was under the hood and he didn't want to find out...lol. Sometimes you just need to know how to play your cards.

 

Lol, I have had ton of those, I don't have nothing under my hood, but I race them for all of a few feet, to make them feel better about themselves. Lol, I lost a race to a Buick once, that was forever hurtful. But I don't do it anymore, people tempt me all the time, but I don't do anything, I get out of there way. It is alwYs usually Hondas, and, believe it or not, soccer moms!!! Lmao

 

Got on the last leg of my cruise home the other day, about 2 miles or so of a 65mph highway. Went up the ramp with a Subaru something or other with a spoiler(looked pretty nice), and a rice-rocket in front of him, got to the top looked, nothing coming did my usual mash and git into the left lane because folks don't know how to merge anymore. This jackass suddenly launched it as I got next to him, but then for some reason backed waay off for the rest of the trip, weird... I don't race, maybe "Suck my Tailpipes" suggested attitude, don't know!! I usually just ignore the jerks, my car is loud, but I won't race, as it is bone stock and can't afford to break any parts on my baby!!

Was tootling up I380 to I280, there is this beautiful sweeping overpass that is banked nice and I'm just enjoying the feel when a rice-r-riffic Acura comes up beside and revs. I look at the kid with my old man WTF look (translated: no, there's not enough squirrels under the hood impress anyone and I'm not racing toward the merge). He guns it, cuts in front of me then goes back to his lane and disappears. Meh.

I find more appreciative admirers amongst Chevy/GM cars on the street I'd say. Lowriders, Donks, muscle cars, it don't matter when you nod that they done good at what they like to do they nod back.

 

I have to mention that on my way home frome work thursday a car ran off the road on to the median ahead of me. the guy kept rubber necking in his rear view mear looking at the Deuce. He went off the road the promptly corrected himself to gat back on the road.

 

Lol nice stories guys. It never seizes to amaze me what a nice car can do to other drivers. I'm sure it's everywhere, but up in Canada in the prairies, it's getting more stupid with dumb drivers. I believe Saskatchewan has it the worst.

 

Im waiting to see wat the GTO is gonna get me into with ppl lol

 

i got nothin, then again i drive a basic 2 door lumina *sigh* (someone will kill me for saying that )

 

Its not a 2 door lumina the lumina is a 4 door monte
