Only crap I ever get is at the gas pump (back when it was 4+ a gallon).
One time a guy driving a big new v-6 camry the next pump over was like gee I bet you like filling up that big v-8.
I said I get about 25mpg if I drive sanely.
He goes huh?
I go yeah 25.
He then goes well so do I.....I guess.![Rolleyes](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/rolleyes.gif)
I just smiled and fired up my noisy big ole v-8![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)

Sittin at a stoplight one night and a honda with a park bench bolted to the trunk lid started revving up his engine and says "bet I win" to me. Lets just say that his ***** probably shrunk when I left the stoplight off the transbrake at 5500rpm's. I swear my passenger was two feet above me from it launching so hard.

i've gotten plenty of dirty looks, had people yelling and pumping their first when i'm doing about 20 in 20 mph residential area. even had a guy say "that thang aint runnin right" after i parked it (its got a cam). then again these reactions should be expected when running a LM1+ORY on a 402 powered f-body. and no it doesn't **** me off, actually its more funny than anything.

I kept them in the other lane, not letting them back in (they were speeding up and slowing down). The passenger in the SUV was yelling all sorts of things at me "what the **** are you doing?! what the **** is wrong with you?!" etc etc. I kept him in the lane until cars coming the opposite way were within an 1/8th of a mile, then I pulled ahead and made a left around 50 mph with a right signal to throw them off.

The one incident that stick out was some kid..An utter douchbag sterotypical college age kid in an older red Lexus SC. He said something to me(minding my own business) when he pulled along side..All I remember is that he said "nice 80's rock star car"...It didn't end there..It got pretty heated. Something else he either did or said made me want to beat the living **** out him..It got pretty tense. I wish I could remember more..since it would've made a better story.

I can't recall anything like that happening to me yet, but then again I live in Virginia where my car is nicer than 99.99999999% of all cars on the road because the poverty is so bad here. I do get some nice compliments from time to time and the occasional look from a pretty lady once and a while. They always want me to rev my motor and I want to rev more than just my motor for them. LOL

I was being a complete dick. In my view, I was setting an example to them. Treat other drivers with respect. Tailgating 1-2 ft off of someones bumper is not really necessary, complete with high beam flashes because I wasn't going fast enough (forgot to mention that in my story). They already passed one person, and in general were just driving like ********.
Maybe having them stuck in a lane, on the opposite side of the road, staring at someone's headlights coming head on will make them thing twice before driving like a wreckless douche bag to "impress his boys".
Like I said, I wasn't on the same moral grounding as the other guys with their road rage stories. I'm an *******, just with a good purpose.

WoW, I must be the only guy on the forum that has never gotten a harsh remark about my car. One guy who's brother owns a 5.0 with NOS said my car was slow(I have never even ran this guy). But that's about it, but of course everyone in town knows me (16K PoP). And im 6'4 236lbs 13% body fat, Bald and covered with tattoo's, I think that might have something do with it also. People really do think im a hard ***, but ask any of my friends or family. I am a really caring guy. And will help almost any one who needs it. But of course I have had my *** ridden by a few import guys some of them fast some of them ricers, some of them ok guys after I got to know them, some of them dicks. Although one time I was driving down the street and some high school punk yelled at me (****** *****) I slammed on the breaks, threw the car in reverse spinning the tires whipping it into the parking spot next to the curb. Bailed out and walked up asking him if he had a ******* problem. When the kid seen me I think he about pissed his pants. He was about 17yo. He said "Nnnnooo" And I said ok have a nice day

I'm with ya there. I once break checked a guy twice. First was a warning and he got closer but I never let off the brake so the brake lights never went off then I slammed them again. Needless to say I was in the truck and I could no longer see light from his lights behind my truck anymore. He backed way off.
Anyhow on to the car comments. I was had a lady yell at me at a stop light. The story goes...
I was sitting at a red light when I here...
"Hey! Hey!" The voice came with an angry tone
I look to my left and see this lady in her forties.
When she saw me look at her she goes...
"Does that thing have straight pipes?!"
Me: (I heard her but didn't want to respond) "Huh?!"
Her: "Does that have straight pipes?!"
Giving her a very confused look I said "What?"
She now started across the street to give me a talking to... Well light changes and I just yell "NO!" and laugh then take off.... I laughed so hard at her.

No emissions. I think she was pissy and in the town I was they don't like noise. The local PD will let you go if you just cruise through and don't make to much noise. She evidently thought I was in the wrong.

I've had a couple people ride my *** and flip me off for no reason.. but other than that it's been good. Once had a bus load of cheering kids when I did a burnout for them. All the thumbs up and huge grins were priceless

I know they are cracking down big time at home with noise pollution in Newark DE.
But around here in E City, NC I get ugly looks because everyone drives a damn mustang around here. "This here be Ford Tuff County". They all have 5.0s and 4.6 GTs and a couple lightly modded new GTs. There are a couple that are fast but nothing that could beat my 99 TA(MS3 and PRC 5.3s). 90% of them don't realize that LS1=5.7 I think it is pure ignorance on there part for hating a car and not knowing a thing about it.

I don't think I've ever had anyone say anything bad about my car to be honest. And I'm not a perfect driver either especially with passing folks and riding a little close until I can lol. It's not exceptionally loud or anything, though, just has some lope.
