Normally, even if my car is loud, I drive respectably. But there are people like this "kid" that drive like morons and give our cars a bad stigma. Example, I'm driving 65mph, and this "kid" is on my ass, forcing me to inch faster and faster, which resulted in both of us almost getting pulled over.
There are at least 2 different types owners of these cars: mature and immature.
I know who I'm not cruising with anymore, and I hope you read this

how is the kid an idiot for doing exactly what you told him? i think the truth is (like you might be alluding to) that there isnt just a mature/immature divide. its a gradient and thats where a lot of the issue comes from. for example, you come here to a ricer thread with an avatar with smoked tail lights. a lot of people would say thats pretty rice. to each his own.
