I also drive a 2003 acura 3.2 TL, so when I drive the FRS I can definitely notice the hotshots trying to race me/drive erratically around me to get my attention.

I usually drive a 2000 Toyota Camry...
Now that I drive a FRS, i notice more people tailgate me.. And then I pretend like I don't notice them.. Then they switch lane give me the dirty look and passes me.

Within five hours of getting my car, I had an RSX with a GT wing tailgate me on the freeway then rev at me while side-by-side after we exited. That was the most "come race me bro" experience I've ever had.

Nobody wanted to race me when I drove the corolla or the camry. :brokenheart:

I was driving a rental car the past few days and people are way more civilized when you're rolling in a Chevy Cruze lol

Back in the FR-S today, people all up on my azzz

I had some douche on my ass in a white Integra on the way to work yesterday. I just slowed down and he eventually tried to get around me. I saw him get over so I gunned it and the guy got stuck behind a slow moving semi truck :clap:

If it was a red Z with a carbon fiber hood it could be the same one that rolls out of KBay (usually with his friend in a black G35).

I was driving completely normal on an uphill straight on the Pali one night and the Z decides to ride my ass.. swerve into the right lane and blow by me.. then swerve into back into the left lane cutting me off (and almost crashing into the median). I cussed him out because he cut me off so close.. had he crashed I might have hit him.

I'm pretty sure it was a d-bag military idiot, there are no shortages of those here in Hawaii.

> Go on deployment (thank you for your service)

> Modify nice car and neglect actually being responsible with the money fought for
> Act like idiot on the road trying to race slower cars than you

...This seems like the trend here in Hawaii (speaking generally)

*all due respect to military members and their families, please just stop acting like assholes.

Oh god no.... -___-
First of all that sounds really gay and secondly, that would make you a hypocrite.
I just flip them off if they start to rev their engines or straight up tell them "sorry bro, I don't live my life a quarter mile at a time."
When they start bragging about how their car can beat mine and so on, I just tell them "congratulations" with a smile and they just respond with a thanks, and a stupid poker face on their face. It's quite hilarious.

I hate street ricers, ever since some idiot with his gay justin beiber hair driving a blue celica like a douche and straight up t boned my mother after she just got out of surgery, and barely got a new sedan, which got wrecked by boy racer. My mom ended up going to the hospital again.
If your going to race, for the love of god do it in a safe environment where nobody else can get injured other than you.

Not much of a "come race me bro", but I thought it was kind of funny.

After work, I was heading to get on highway as usual. There's this ramp that has speed limit of 30mph, which has pretty sharp turn and whole 270 degree turn. I usually enter it around 45mph and keep it around 50. It's not much of a problem for my car since the tire upgrade.

This ~06 C Class or something was following me. He wasn't up to my bumper or anything, but keeping same speed and distance. I merge into the ramp at 45mph, I see him in the rear view mirror, he suddenly understeers, brakes, slows down. I felt funny and sorry at the same time.

The left lane is for passing bros. GTFO of it.

i get this on a weekly basis, its very frustrating, those who track and auto-x know that you just can't push the car as hard on the street so why bother...so many people ride my ass, cut me off, pull up next to me and speed up slow down. i just don't bother, if i'm in the fast lane and your'e breathing up my ass i move over and let you pass...however majority of people continue to ride my ass after i switch lanes to let them pass, this is when i tap the brakes followed by a flash of my gold badge.

however, there are also a few times where people blow by me in a straight line but then can't keep up when the road gets twisty, and i'm not even hammering on the car that hard...its really amazing how fast you can enter corners in these cars.

hell half the time i avoid driving my car because i just don't want to deal with all the morons...

Yes, a few of the encounters here sound like they were triggered by hogging of the left lane, not by the car. I'm all for chilling in the left lane be it for the smoother road, lighter traffic, whatever but for Pete's sake, if you see someone going faster coming behind you, just move over and let 'em pass

Edit: Impeccable timing, just saw this on Jalopnik: http://dougdemuro.jalopnik.com/when-...526632/@travis
