Default Big trucks ever tryin to hang with a LS1?

I dont know if its just me but lately the most ridiculous vehicles want to run. Ive had everyhting from big jacked up trucks to lowriders to v6's to escalades on dubs? I mean come on, do they really htink they can win or is it just a joke that im not getting? Last night a slammed Harley davidson truck tried to run me so i hit it and left him like 12 car lengths before i slowed down. Then he tries to do it from a stop so i let him make the move but at the intersection a car turns right and gets infront of me so i slow down and he passes me up and puts his hazard lights on like he just won a race. Does this ever happen to yall? I think im going to blame this on fast and furious..

Not all truck are slow so don't get that mentality etc... Look around Parish and I know of a few others for the most part a the majority have an exhaust and bolt ons and are just playing and like to see you get on it in your car probably not trying to really beat you etc... So I would say use your best judgement I hope it is better than some of the others on the road. Remember you don't have to prove anything to them. Do you? Have fun be safe and I'll run you when you want for fun.

Anywho, I had a DART bus try to race me before. Was kind of funny.

i usually welcome the trucks. 90% of the time, i get minivans, cavaliers, and V6 mustangs that come flying up to me racing. and yes i said mini vans!! theres like 3 of them that stalk me or something. sometimes its funny, most of the time its annoying.

How in the hell does the fast and furious have anything to do with this. The only truck in that movie was a lightning and it was just for part runs. Now if all these trucks your talking about have fat cans and neon lights then I'd understand.

They're probably just idiots that think their car is much more than it actually is.

[snob voice]How dare a truck rev at me... don't they know what I am driving?[/snob voice]

You drive a 6 year old Trans Am... get over yourself.
