I was late for work so I was driving at about 70-80 MPH on the highway and when I slowed down I saw a crappy Civic I passed like 5-10 minutes ago zoom past me, he was trying really hard, but he never saw the front of my car again, because BRZ can corner at twice his speed, especially on good tires.
I just laugh really hard when someone tries to race me, if it's a car that's much slower I'll just downshift and disappear from their sight, otherwise I don't bother.

Whenever someone tries to race me now, I give them the "Asian smile and peace sign".

One of two things happen:

1) They give me a "wtf" look
2) They keep on revving their engine

I feel ya bro! Take'm in the twisties where these racing machines really shine! No one can keep up. I usually race people in figure eights, and let's just say I have never lost yet. I can't even begin to tell you how many 18 wheelers I have put some serious hurt on.

I'm in my BRZ on the way home from work. I see a car is approaching fast (ish) behind me and as they get closer, I see it's a scion TC with two younger kids, probably in their teens late.

We jump on the highway and he pulls next to me and revs his car and does a small pull. It's loud, it's very loud and extremely obnoxious. I was on the phone with my girlfriend via bluetooth and neither of us could hear each other speak.

It's rush hour, the highway is tight and most cars are going 55-65mph.

I didn't even glance at the TC in the slightest, not once. Why would i want to race someone during rush hour traffic?

He pulls away and speeds off, though the car must have been NA because he drove away aggressively, but slowly.

Older lady in a 12' Camry "raced" me I guess on my way to work, well I don't know if she was trying to race me or not but she peeled off on the green super fast as if to anticipate me doing the same thing lol then immediately hit traffic. I took off normal so I guess she won that battle lol.

Almost every Genesis I encounter that has any type of mods usually pulls that similar type of stuff with me. In my head I'm like dude you're driving a Hyundai, slow your roll and fall back.

Honestly, do we have much room to talk? Lol

Had some fun with a Mercedes (no other cars around). Surprised to be neck and neck the entire time until I had to turn into the shopping plaza I was going to. Looked like some sort of E series, but, never saw the rear of the car. Even more surprising was the lack of complaints from my wife.

Just like how people pronounce Target as "Tar-jay" in a french accent, you have to say Scion as "Sky-on" in a french accent. Makes the car sound more... fan-cuhh

What the hell am I even writing?
