I followed a white one just a few days ago. I had to treat it like a wild animal... Had to catch up to it real slow so that I didn't scare him off haha.
Once I pulled up next to him and rolled down my window to get a better listen he took offff like a madman. He downshifted like crazy as he took the off-ramp. I need that car in my life

Edit: sry for the double post

I have to go through a college everyday to go to work. It's the worst 3 minutes of my life everyday. So many civics....so so many civics.........

Though you will get the admirer every so often that gives the thumbs up or head nods. Those are refreshing.

As amazing as that car is, I still think naturally aspirated cars sound better.

Agreed, there's something magical about a high revving NA engine.

The area where I work is a large industrial park where about 4,000 people work, so it's a given that every car is turning at the same set of lights. Everyone travels in the right lane in this area.

This POS Kia Amanti, either impatient or a general douche, rides me in the right lane, and when there was an opening in the left lane he tries to pass and overtake me.

Unfortunately for this knob, he is now travelling 100 km/h (62 mph) heading toward a roundabout (traffic circle). I enter the circle at speed (thank you awesome chassis, low CoG) while he needs to slam the brakes and has massive body roll through the turn. As I exit the traffic circle, he just couldn't match, and is now about 8-10 car lengths back. Buddy tries to merge back into the lane, and just receives the bird, flashing highbeams, and honks.

Edit: Not sure if he wanted to race, but funny story anyway

I love a happy ending.

I also love stories that have awesome endings, like that one.^

The old Alfa V6 engine note was very sweet at revs much lower that our cars, maybe not quite as sweet as those exotics.... but I loved it

Not sure what it is about these kids in Camaros.

Post some of your encounters you've had!

Camaro drivers around here haven't really done this to me, but all the V6 'stangs have, even when I was in the STI.
