With the car above I braked down to 80kph in front of them and they dropped way back. In the 80kph limit I did 70kph and they were pissed. Luckily at the roundabout I went left and they went straight on but it could easily have ended badly instead of both of us being pissed off and keeping it going.

I agree. It's not worth the risk. Not saying I haven't done that before. I used to fuck around with people who cut me off or do something stupid that could have gotten me into an accident. I realized I'm no different from the person doing it to me. Could easily excel into something really bad. It's just not worth it.

Kids always think they're 10 feet tall and bullet proof. Hopefully he finds out before something bad happens that he is, in fact, not bullet proof.

All it takes is one sucker punch and you could be either a veggy for the rest of your life or dead. Real life is not an MMA cage match. There are no rules and no medics standing by. Just let it go...it's not worth it...

Here's just one example of what can happen. And this was the result of a COMPLIMENT. http://jalopnik.com/5907665/this-man...er-mans-wheels

It happens. Be careful...

If I had a fast car I would just cruise along at my usual 55mph and not budge my foot. Don't need to use up that extra thimble of gas to entertain someone else, they gotta go earn it by getting their own interesting car :P

Honking
Verbal taunting
Windshield spray while driving in front of me
Flashing lights

Luckily these things don't occur much in my city.

That type of stuff generally doesn't happen in PDX.

But being aggressive on the road isn't worth the risk man. You never know who's behind the other wheel. Could be a little old lady, could be a psychopath.

Hehe, I was just kidding. For some reason every time I read about car culture in New Jersey it made some reference to the IROC-Z. I'm sure there aren't as many now as say 12yrs ago, but it seemed like New Jerseyites loved their Camaros.

Haha yup they definitely love their Camaros and Mustangs here. You see them so much it starts to feel no different from looking at Civics.

No it shouldn't.

This thread reminds me of the day when I bought a brand-new, $34,000.00 1996 Camaro SS Convertible. This was just as the "ricer crowd" was starting to get big. Seemed I couldn't drive anywhere without some kid in a Civic, Integra, Eclipse, or other POS with a coffee can muffler, stickers, fire extinguisher, Type-R badges, and Pep Boys "performance parts" trying to race me everywhere.

Posers are posers no matter what car they drive and no car can fix stupid.

You mean to tell us you led them to your lair? I had some inbred imbecile try the same. (@11pm?) After they mirrored my non specific side street turns, I slammed on the brakes in the middle of the oncoming lane, which caused them to pull up next to me at a stop light...they sped off like a bat out of Hell!

Man! I love Wikipedia!
Imbecile was a medical category of people with moderate to severe mental retardation, as well as a type of criminal.The term arises from the Latin word imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded.
