About a week ago I was turning right down a side street. I was stopped at a stop sign, and checked the road - as I started turning right I looked towards oncoming traffic and saw a Maserati aggressively come to the end of a driveway to a shopping center a bit up the street from me. I was already making my turn, hard right of way anyway, and didn't think much on it since most people exit a driveway with some caution.

As I completed the turn I see him aggressively pulling out of the driveway, and sure enough he speeds up to me (25mph road, with construction signage) and is just tail gating me hardcore - which was frustrating because I needed to park down that street. I ended up just pulling over for him so I could get the parking that I needed - I feel like this might have been the same guy you ran into lol. It was awkward because I didn't do anything wrong, and I feel like his behavior was triggered by the fact that I completed my turn instead of stopping halfway to allow him to speed down the road, and his tail gating made me feel like he was just trying to make a point that cars like mine should move over for his.

So I was driving home after taking my dog to the dog park. Then this Nismo 370Z from far away appears and judging from my rear mirror, he looked like he was driving crazy fast to catch up to me. As he got behind me(super close behind me!), he was down shifting, making lots of revs. Then he changed lanes to get next to me. When he got right next to me(passenger window open with my dog looking at him) he instantly slowed down. (Not sure exactly why, maybe knows I won't play around with him with my dog in my car or thinks a girl won't race him or whatever.:iono:) I made zero eye contact cause I was very sure he wanted to race. Then we approach a construction zone and I need to merge into his lane... me thinking he won't let me in, I slowed down a lot to let him pass. He made pretty much a complete stop which surprised me but since he insisted, I went ahead of him. When I checked the rear mirror after we crossed all the construction, he was way behind super slow. Then he catches up super fast. Then I ended up behind him. We started practically following each other in traffic like we were buddies until after we got on the freeway then he just goes diagonal all the way to the fast lane really fast and that was when it ended. It was awkward because I think he thought I was actually following him but I just needed to get to the freeway and get out after 2 exits.. lol

Here is my story. I was at a light turning left and I was minding my own business not doing anything wreckless like revving my engine just normal driving. I was making the left turn and I happened to glance over to a BMW, looked like a 335 series, and an asian guy (looked young maybe mid/early 20s), just gives me the stare down and makes a gun with his hand and pretends to shoot me, I saw his mouth move like trying to make the sound effect. My car is basically all stock except exhaust and intake, And no exterior mods. So idk what that's suppose to mean. Anyone gone through anything similar? Just curious.

Damn better watch out! Good thing it wasnt a Z4

Right? I'm thinking it wasn't his. Not to be judgemental but he was wearing a road crew type of reflective vest. Asshole.

OMG, was it a WRB-ish color? They sound like the same guy. He's gonna kill someone with that thing.

It was night time so it was hard to tell, but it was definitely a blueish color, or black. I didn't pay attention to what model it was - I just noticed those gaudy Maserati vents and the logo in the back when I let him pass me.
