"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

[FullTuneZN6]

i had a guy do the speed up slow down speed off move yesterday...i think he was trying to make himself feel more manly bc he was driving a celica (gurls car)

[Mr.Jay]

I grt a lot of big engine cars trying to get me to go AMG and V8. Lots of civics, couple mazda3. Not goin to lie I've had a go against a rsx type s, mazda3, mp5 and a couple s2k.

I am a definite ass hat, I race home from work everyday, diving in and out of the car pool lane to pass people in the fast lane going 58. I weave in and out of traffic. I apologize in advance, It is nothing personal. I just believe that most drivers on the road are morons, and If I am not offensive, I will suffer...........................How ever when driving to work, I am in no rush and often ride the middle lane all the way to work, because I hate it so much.

I think people will race you no matter what you drive. Some people just can't stand the idea of having to be behind someone else if they have a chance to be in front.

I noticed headlights weaving through traffic in my rear view. I was in the fast lane, the "speeder" ran into a wall of traffic and I forgot about him. A minute later, clear of the wall of traffic, I started to cross the 4 lanes one at a time as my exit was coming up in 2 miles. One lane away from getting into the far right, I notice those same headlights right on my a$$. The lane to my left is open, the lane to my right is open, but this rocket scientist felt I was in his way. I got over into the far right lane and the car "sped" past me, got over in front of me, and had to slow down for the two cars in front that were going ~58mph. I wanted to get next to him and inform him of his shortcomings, but there were cars to his left going just as slow. I was over it. As an exit only lane opened up, the two slow cars in front got over. The black FRS/BRZ sped up a bit and got over in front of them. He didn't leave any room behind him, so I wanted to pass and get over. As soon as I attempted to overtake him, he swerved back into my lane, narrowly missing my bumper. I didn't think it was intentional... at first, I just figured he may have realized it was an "exit only". So, I signaled and started to get over to the right, he swerved in front of me again and hit his brakes. I got over to the left, he did the same again. Now I'm pissed. I fake right, as he goes to cut me off again, I give it a little gas and go around him. He tried to gun it and stop me from overtaking him, but you all know how that went. In his effort to be a super ***, he was stuck exiting. He got right back on the freeway.

You're not all cherubs.

Thats true, I may admit I am a bit more bold with this car, only because it is quicker than my old altima, but I dont go swerving though, I change lanes when safe. Hell I care more about the cars safety than trying to look like those ricers. But I have seen a white brz before just hauling big ass on the freeway, pretty aggressive driver. Not so cool.

Zero occurances..heck even frs people wont even wave or thumbs up

The only notable experience I had was when I stopped at a red light just ahead of a merge a bit too abruptly. The gentleman in the Tesla Roadster next to me seemed to take it as a challenge and floored it on the green and almost collided with oncoming traffic (there's a turn right after the merge). Scary.

That thing can move though.

durring a car meet i was cruising with some pals and one has a e36 328 with m3 trans and diff, catless exhaust i used to own an e36 m3 so i know they are quick we rolled off the light and then both punched it i was amazed that im stock and pulled away haha. i never get reved at or challenged

[sklimo]

Haven't had anyone try to race me, but people love taking pictures of her at stop lights!!

[neutron256]

I've had the occasional Mustang or riced out honda try to get me to race at lights. What's a lot more common is people in other sports/sporty cars who feel the need to pass me on the freeway. Some are just getting a good look, for others its a very I think it just makes them feel good to think they're faster. This seems to happen me a lot with Audis for some reason.

Had an older guy in a CTS-V coupe trying to get past me on a busy road....he was trying desperately to catch up to my car and pass me but had a very difficult time overtaking the cars in front of him to catch up to me. When he did he slowed down next to me and I just shook my head at him in disbelief. Disbelief because I couldn't fathom someone with a 550hp CTS-V trying to race a 200hp car...I really like the CTS-V but in this case it seemed like the late 40-something year-old was compensating for something...

[Brzetto]

Nothing yet but it's only a matter of time until some overzealous street racing idiot shows up. When I first got my Nissan, I had Evo's trying to mess with me. Another case was some redneck in a newer model Grand Prix, I think he had a mullet too.

Same thing. Compensation knows no age.
