Yeah, what are people thinking in sedans amirite?!?! All those guys in e90 M3s, and M5s and C63 AMGs. They think they got a sports car or something?!?! Hello dude, you bought a car with 4 doors! Shouldn't you be driving your family somewhere or something!?! Sheesh!

In what state is this white brz in? Sounds like me. Umadbro

Had a Civic Si coupe chase me to a McDonalds Drive thru. When I got to the order box he drove around and waited for me near the exit. After I paid I casually drove past him and turned right onto the street, expecting him to follow me. Instead he went left. He didn't even order anything! Tha fuck?!

Had a guy pull up on me at a light in a trans am. My windows were down so he taunts me asking "hey is this the new 2013 car of the year"? I nodded. He then asked if I wanted to race a '95 and I said " no thanks you're probably to fast for me". He said "yeah I am". Then hit it when light turned green then got pulled over by the cop sitting on the next block.

So if I drive a GTR or one of the 3s 911 on the fast lane, will I encounter any racing thing going one from other cars often ?
The twin just too attracted for others eventhough I just commute to work

That is just funny. The fact that they notice you and spend their time doing that proves that you have already won .

What would be fun is to watch one of them try to pull that on the Crawford BRZ.


I would personally let them win and then when he think he has won rev the fuk out of him to get him by surprise and essentially tell him " a joker like you was never worth my time to begin with".

Not sure what it is about these kids in Camaros.

Post some of your encounters you've had!

Agreed, more fun to watch people try and race me then actually racing in a straight line. I like watching other 'spirited' drivers, especially getting off/on highway ramps with some extra speed. This is where I like to join in haha.

I am an instigator...but just so I can admire the other car, I'd never race. I never rev or pace someone unless I just want to get a good look at your ride (which has happened to me, and I thought it was a racer but simply someone who wanted a better look). Whenever I see a supercar I try and egg them on a little, just so I can see/hear that amazing ride. And if that guy in the ferrari/lambo/etc decides I am worthy, then maybe he will give it some gas and rip it for me haha

I've been getting a lot of WRX's screaming by me the second they see the FR-S. I thought it would mostly be TC's but they appear to be the most courteous drivers I've ever encountered.
