That's the best part of our cars though, I love how some people in there SUVs and CUVs will try tailgating me and chasing me down but then I switch onto an on-ramp or turn onto a curvy road and watch them fall way back and disappear:burnrubber:

It wasn't really a racing encounter late last night but I approach a red light. I mean I guess I'm still used to driving <100 horsepower cars and I still see cars that just accelerate like it's no rush.


I press the gas to 2500, then short shift to second. (Sometimes I wish I had old-euro gearing). I reach 50km/h in reasonable time and I still notice the Prius right on my ass. I signal right and pulled over to the right and roll at 20-25 km/hr. I roll for 10 meters and the Prius looks like it wants to turn right at the minor intersection. In fact it does! I' m still rolling at walking speed now and just let the poor soul go because just a clip costs easily a thousand bucks. I come to a dead stop and just wonder what happened for a few seconds.


I decide to follow. Its gone! I go up a couple small blocks and turn back as global warming is no good. I turn right again at a major road. It is that guy coming out of the alley! He doesn't even look at me; but he is smiling with an indescribable grin! Was he intentionally driving around to mess with people's mind?


I wonder if it is because some days my FR-S looks like a cockroach.

What the fuck did I just read?

I am in the same boat as you are... I didnt comprehend it at all.

:iono:

I feel like hiding in a crevasse for an hour or more now.

Its okay @Bergen23 is just a bully.

Duh fug?

@Tcoat can you translate this. He's Canadian.

last night had to deal with two young kids, they were in a new mustang and a Challenger, probably mommy and daddies rides

i pull up to the light after leaving the gym, they start reving at me, yelling out the window,
the light turns green and they both take off and i just start rolling slowly, shifting at 2.5K,

couple miles up the road, we enter the highway, i only had to take it 2 exits, at this point with the light traffic they are behind me, i go to take my exit and they follow (my exit is a sharp turn)

the mustang is tail gating me on the off ramp, i say screw it, downshift and take the turn going a good 55-60mph where its really meant to be taken at half that speed, all i can say is they had to slam on there breaks, they couldnt take the turn as fast as me


that or im just crazy

Ok, it's my turn to admit I'm the douche this time. I was driving home through my daily route and decided to be a douche against a Porsche (not sure which one). I don't normally pick a fight with anyone unless it happened on roads that I'm very familiar with.

As I was driving home and before I got to the most twisted part, saw a Porsche ahead driving fairly aggressive. Like a scene from Initial D, time stood still, all road noise went silent as I started talking to myself. A well made decision only took me a few seconds so I sped right to his ass. I can hear the Initial D theme music start playing as we both went for it. Hitting 60-65 on the turns where normal cars can only do 45. I was able to stay on his ass all the way :P. I was half shaking and smile at the same time because it's my first time being a douche, especially against a Porsche.

Don't get me wrong I considered myself a very careful driver. I'm not a big fan of careless/dangerous driving. I guess my alter-ego got a hold of me this time.

Welcome to the club.

Why does catching up to and keeping up with someone on a twisty road make you a douche? On some of my regular good roads I get people sticking to my ass every so often, when we're done I usually give a wave or a thumbs up and always got one back.

Personally, tailgaters make me nervous.

Nervous people can do not so smart things. Some people get downright mad, not sure which is worse.

I generally find a turnout if someone is "sticking to my ass"

This past weekend I was pacing traffic in the middle of the highway. All of a sudden I had a V6 Mustang line up to me on the freeway and started revving and trying to mess with me. It contained what appeared to be two frat bros. Normally I do not care about these things, but he was blocking me from entering the passing left lane and I was on a schedule. I quickly weaved around the car in front of me using the far right lane and got back into the middle lane. Geared down to 5th and left him in the dust. He eventually caught back up to me but he learned real quick I was not going to let him pass. I stayed in the middle lane until he approached another slow car in the passing lane. I proceeded to box him in not allowing him to change into the center lane for about 2 miles essentially giving him a taste of his own medicine. Afterwards he slowed down to speed limit, got behind me, and I never saw the mustang again.


I'm boosted by the way :D
