It happens to us all, the question is why is it that the slower their junk is the more aggressive they are about getting into a race. And they want to race in places where if I open mine up for 2 seconds I'm outta road and they're still there, winding out low gear. I'm with the original poster on this one.

Years back I had some jack-*** in Acres Home driving some kind of slow Suburu Wagon chase me down through traffic when I was moving good in my Thunderbird SC. Finally I just let the kid pass me so I could obtain some sence of traffic safety. Well of course he soon picks the wrong lane and has to stop hard. As I'm going by he swings the front out and we almost hit before I stopped. Right there I jumped out and starting yelling at him to pull on out with hand gestures and everything. I told him stuff like, "Just a little more to the left and you've got the whole road for yourself, come on, that's it, a little more, you've got it, NOW STAY THE F*** AWAY FROM MY CAR YOU STUPID S.O.B.! He was so embarrassed that he drove off slow and looking like a bitch. I hate the bastards when they think they have to be in front of everything they can't touch with a 200HP NO2 shot.

I agree, Im tired of everyone thinking every damn car is a race car. When I drive my Camaro I have Minivans and dumbasses in Silverado 1500's that just speed up and try to show off for no damn reason. What is the point? Everyone turns into a nascar driver when they see a fast car.

Honestly, people are just morons when it comes to cars. Some guy pulled up next to me at a stoplight the other day in a crappy looking civic and said his spoiler added 75 hp. I raced past him just to get away. Usually anyone that tries to race me just gets completely surprised when i tap the brakes and get behind them. They get really confused. I laugh.

sounds like the fagget in the toyota camry riding my *** on i-45 yesterday after i left g-force. i was just minding my business doing 80 mph in 6th gear. and as im switching lanes two kids in mommies camry were tailgating me. that car was swaying all over the place at 80 mph. im just cruising. and i look in my rearview. this lil queer is giving a thumbs down. dunno for what reason. maybe he thought his piece of **** car was keeping up with me. i rolled the window down and gave him the finger.

I agree. When I drive my cars, people that were going slow speed up when they see me and they feel the need to pass me up.

I've noticed that, or they close gaps when you turn a blinker on.

I started driving faster and rarely have the probelm anymore.

Yeah there has been a guy stalking me with an all flat black non turbo neon the old 2 door one. He dumped the clutch at every stop sign, and chirped second. The he was cutting in front of me and locking up his breaks. I just could not stop laughing it was too much.

He didn't post up his numbers but I'm figuring he's making about 750 with that setup. Definitely a nice setup

actually im pretty sure the guy in the supra didnt want to race you, and even if he did rev its because he wanted to see your car in action, it was just for fun. its my best friends car and he told me the other day he saw a badass vette and you straight up merked em. but by no means is he dumb when it comes to cars, his is N/A for right now, and he knows you would have beaten him badly.

as far as a blue civic with carbon fiber hood, i have one friend with one like that, its a turbo si thats pretty quick. think he put down around 450whp.

i am in no way a ricer, just speaking up for a few out there. trust me i hate hondas just as much as the next guy, but his is actually pretty nice. and as for supras i think there sick, probably the only import ill ever buy.
