"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

[Jive Turkey]

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

I had open lanes to the right and left of me and I was still being tailed...

Usually do.. I had just put my blinker on and was checking my blind spot when he decided to switch lanes and gun it.

Are we allowed to post videos of douchebag drivers here? I had an audi S4 blew by me, cutting into my lane without signal and almost hitting me, then cuts another guy off almost hitting him to line up with me on a stop light..and of course he tries to race me, but I'm not going to bother burning gas on a straight away.

Yeah, I quite liked that article. Just because you are in the right doesn't protect you from all wrong doings. If I think some one is tail gating me in a suburban area I indicate and pull over and let them pass. I have no problem with this what so ever. If it is on an intercity main road and there is much traffic I let them tail gate. I do not brake, speed up or slow down as it will serve no purpose. During peak hour here I am constantly amazed at how close people travel behind one and other. I am certain that many people have no idea that they are tail gating. That is, they have no idea how quickly the car in front will fill the windscreen if it comes to a sudden stop.

Had some guy in a Sentra rev at me in the parking lot by my work last week. It was good for a laugh.

Before you guys read my amazingly long post I just wanna say that I love my BRZ to death, I've never had this much fun driving until I got behind the wheel with this car and I do not regret my purchase one bit but sometimes my car friends usually feel the need to give me shit about my car so yeah.

Damn I'm amazed at some of you guys self control that you guys have. Lol it kinda sucks sometimes when my friends (S2000, Genesis Coupe, Turbo Tc, and Turbo RSX Type S) give me a lot of shit about how slow my BRZ is and shit and they always wanna race me when we're all out cruising sometimes but sometimes I wanna give in and race. But my friends' cars are all modded especially my buddies RSX and Tc. But the buddy that drives the S2000 has such a big head I don't know how to combat him sometimes

He would say "OH you got boxer engine and your car is light. My car has VTEC and is more balanced than your car will ever be and I'm faster than you stock" and I'm like what the fuck sometimes, mainly because I don't think I could beat an S2000 in a curvy road anyways. Like what the hell am i going to say to him "Oh well that's a nice backseat you got there....oh wait."

But yeah that was totally off topic but yeah ever since my buddy got his S2000 his ego is just out there I noticed he'll never pick on my friends Turbo RSX or Turbo Tc and he damn sure isnt gonna mess with my buddies stock turbo Genesis Coupe (2014)

There's always a car that's designed to stop/brake/turn faster. My "other" car makes close to 400 rwhp stock, stops faster than the BRZ but I still love my BRZ DD. By your buddy's logic Miatas would be idiotic cars. But if you've ever driven one they're awesome...enough for me to think about trading my "weekend" car for a Miata racecar. (I used to DD a Miata but needed something more practical after it got totaled)

Surprisingly nobody has revved at me, even in young 20s S2000/EVO/Civics/Integras land aka Irvine, CA.

That's the car scene for you bro, he just thinks he's the shit because he drives a s2k. I know you will turn way more heads driving a brz then that Honda. Trust me I would know.

A BMW 3-series sedan kept speeding up and then slowing down to wait for me on the freeway home tonight, but I was on cruise control lol. His fumes smelled of utter shit, like rotten eggs. Is that the catless smell? I thought it would smell more like gasoline
