"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

Eh, mp5 is overrated . Heavy, expensive, picky on ammo. AR 15 is better. Both aren't quickly accessible when you're strapped into a driver's seat. Pistol is good then ;-). I prefer my 1911, but any decent 9mm, 357sig, 10mm, 40s&w, 45acp, .38, or 357mag will do just fine so long as you've got good defensive ammo (that's hollow points, folks, not fmj) & can accurately shoot your chosen weapon with that defensive ammo.

It's like good driving: you have to practice, practice, practice to get & stay competent at it.

Why do you think I traded my sti in for a brz? ;-)

Tonight, Thanksgiving, coming home from work at 2:30am on the highway, and as I'm working through a few other cars on the road, from behind me comes a car, fairly close, I can tell he's in a hurry and I'm in the passing lane trying to get through. After some weaving to get passed those who seem ignorant of passing lane rules, I finally get in the right lane, cruise control at 75 and he passes me then quickly slows back down. A Nissan Altima Coupe. Outloud I'm talking to myself saying "Really, an Altima? What an idiot." as he gets alongside me, falling back a bit then jumping forward. I just leave the cruise where it is and ignore him, I'm not going to race and I know damn well a holiday like this has cops all over the place. He finally gives up and goes ahead of me, then gets off at an exit a mile up the road. For shits and giggles, as he's slowing in the right hand lane, I give him a 6500rpm blowby in the left lane. That's all he's going to get from me.

That's the first person I've had really try and pull a stunt like this. I just thought it was hilarious.

There's sometimes the automatic mustang driver that tries to show off in traffic, they run by you and weave through a couple cars to tailgate a minivan and have to hit their brakes constantly. I'm like yeah your car can go fast but you've got shit control over your vehicle.

Countless civics red lining their 90's shit boxes at me.

Driving back from work in my work van and some cute civic tried to race me. Didn't know I was going 80 in a chevy express...slowed down and he took off. A couple miles ahead I get off at my exit and there he is with a chp writing him a ticket. Just rolled by him and gave him a smile (: #becausericecar

There's a young temp worker at my job who drives a Cobalt SS. He said he wants to get a job at the local Toyota plant so he can get a discount on an FR-S.

Can anyone imagine it the other way around?

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a fun car. But I'm also sure it's a Chevy Cobalt.

I've only had a couple instances lately where people tried racing me.
One was the other day, brand new Genesis pulled up next to me while we were driving and took off slamming on his breaks to get my attention. Then at every red light we proceeded to continue, I just cruised. My insurance is high enough being 23 male w/ a medical accident on file and driving a brand new car, ain't nobody got money for that

Downtown Baltimore.. sitting at light. All of sudden this Yellow Camaro SS revs the sh!t out of the engine. I look over, some swag black dude looks over his shoulder saying "I got V8, What you got in there" I said "Flat Four".

He was confused. I think only thing he knows about his car is V8.

You should have told him you have a Rolls-Royce Viper.

I would like to add Mazda 3's to the list of cars that seem to want to act like douche bags whenever they see me. Or rather the drivers of Mazda 3's. Not all mind you. It just seems like Civic's, Mustangs, and now Mazda 3 drivers always want to try to "race".

Maybe it's just Minnesota nice, but I've only had one person try to race... Some older Acura, I think it was a TL. May or may not have been going a bit fast on the highway, but it sure was fun. Those of you in the area, it was the new blacktop on 494 before the snow hit... :-D
