Default Shut down a Maserati fly by

So I was heading to a friend's place for some drinking but swung by Wendy's for cheap dinner.

As I was about to pull out a silver car with those gay little fender vents was pulling out from the new large gym here. Looked almost like a Buick so I didn't really notice until he went WOT and it didn't sound very Buick...guy was a younger dude with spiked hair.

So I pulled out and chased him down, but he was on a cell and didn't seem to want to play so I went about my way. A little down the road I notice him coming up quick. Finally traffic clears up and I move over and slow to a 40-45 roll to wait for him, but instead of trying to line up he just goes WOT and tries to come around...so I just punched it too and by the time he was next to me I was finally building a little rpm in 2nd (no downshift to 1st from my speed) and started instantly pulling away but let off for traffic ahead.

He kept going on and got out front. Hoping he would head to the interstate but he didn't...rushed through traffic and turned into a weight lifting supplement store like his life depended on it.

Yeah, because everyone who takes supplements is gay

Good kill or whatever it was though, I bet he **** himself when you stopped his flyby.

not really a kill so much as raining on someone's parade

it was the way he was swerving in traffic because he was in the wrong lane to get to the supplement store...looked like he was rushing a pregnant lady to the emergency room

creatine after pumping mad iron isn't excactly an emergency

I don't know man. There's a small window of time after hitting the gym when you're supposed to get your supps in for maximum gains. Life or death to some guys.

Maseratis are ugly. JMO

Think you just made the man's point for him dude. Both those cars look like a big catfish gulping for air.

I think they both look sick. I'd rock either one of those any day of the week.

Nice kill, OP.

I think they are the ugliest of the higher end cars. Change out the hideous front grille/bumper and my opinion might change. Until then,

Pretty sure it was one of those bland creatures, don't know how fast they are or if they are at all...wasn't really worried about it so much as it was clear he saw me and thought to show off so I returned the favor.

I agree with the ugly comments personally. The silver wasn't helping him any...I seriously thought it was a buick for a moment.

I never thought I'd see the day that members of LS1Tech called Maseratis ugly or bland...

For your viewing pleasure:

Top Gear had a three-way comparo between the Maserati Quattroporte GTS, the Porsche Panamera Turbo, and the Aston Martin

Bonus: This episode also featured the Camaro SS.

...sorry...4 door bubbly shaped silver cars are at the bottom of my "looks nice" list, especially with the gay (albeit "traditional") fender ports (and shouldn't there be 4 on each side since it's a v8?)

but I have different tastes I suppose, I also don't care for much of anything from mercedes and while some BMWs look nice I don't drool and spank it everytime I see one like a lot of people I know

Name and pricetag do not always equate to good aesthetics. AGAIN, JMO
