"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

[sofargone561]

This thread is funny becuase I remember reading on an LSX forum with a bunch of Camaro/370z guys bitching that frs drivers are "douchebags" and always try to race them.

Never been challenged in any of my cars.

See the trick is to have a giant wing on the back, LOTS of red symbols saying "type S" or "GT" or "Supercharged" when you actually aren't then to top it off wrap your entire car in carbon fiber. Then they'll know you mean business.



WOAH what do we have here?

Haha No offense to the person who owns that car, I'm sure its a blast, it was the first google image that showed up when searching "obnovious wing!"

Had one the other day and not sure if the guy was trying to race, checking out my car or just a really, REALLY bad driver but he almost killed us both!
Was coming off the on ramp onto the highway and just hit traffic speed (a little over 100KPH) and pulled into the center lane to go around a slower truck. Noticed a newish Porsche 911 coming up beside me like a rocket in the passing lane. As soon as he got beside me he slowed right down and paced me.

Was some older guy (and I am no youngster so this guy was OLD) and he seemed to be ignoring me completely.

I was coming up to another slower truck so wanted to get over to the passing lane so sped up. He paced me. Slowed down. He paced me.. As traffic was piling up behind him he finally floored it and took off and I slid into the spot he just so abruptly left. We passed the truck and he stayed right beside me in the center lane. As I am a strong believer the passing lane is for PASSING and the center lane ws now clear other then the Porsche I signaled to go over and guess what he did? That's right, he paced me! No matter what I did he would not let me come over.

Eventually I caught him off guard and managed to get in behind him. He now went over to the far right lane annnnnnd... paced me! We drove on like this for a bit and I eventually came up to another truck. As he was in the right lane I was able to slip right into the passing lane and get around it.

So here is where he almost got us both! I pass the truck check to make sure all is clear (Porsche several car lengths back in the right lane) and start over into the center lane. This Dbag floors it cuts in front of the truck and slows down again right beside me as I am changing lanes. I just managed to abort the lane change in time and missed him by a fraction of an inch. As soon as I go back over he immediately whips back into the right lane and takes an exit that was only about 50 yards further up the road.

At no time did I try to play with him or do anything in response to his antics so it was not like he should have felt I was a willing participant in his little display. He hit speeds of better then 140KPH and dropped as lows as about 80 and never once signaled a thing all on a very busy highway at rush hour. I was just trying to get home from work!

He's only speeding up cause the old man is trying to escape death. Don't worry, death will eventually catch up to him.

Death damn near did! I am pretty sure he came close enough that I got bugs from his front bumper on my tail lights.
If I wasn't in the habit of triple checking when I change lanes we would have been statistics for sure.
This was on the 401 at Woodstock one of the worst stretches for serious accidents there is.

Douchebags like that deserve to have their license revoked

This crap happens to me daily. Mostly Mustangs. I think they have the greatest small-penis-problems on the road next to lifted diesel trucks.

I had a 5.0 yesterday cut in front me of me and go WOT... as we're approaching stopped traffic. Smart guy. Exhaust sounded great though!

[Tcoat]

Soooo went a long time with nothin' now they are coming out of the wood work!
Some great poetic justice on this one though.
Was sitting at a light on Friday and a last gen Eclipse pulls up beside me. He looks over and starts to rev the living crap out of it.
The light changes, he pops the clutch at what must have been close to redline and immediately torque steers right into the curb!
I slowly drove away, took a brief trip around the block and went past from the other direction.
He was still there with an almost horizontal wheel and a rapidly spreading puddle of fluids under the car!




Was gonna honk and wave but it is a small city and my car stands out too much to take the chance on retaliation.

So last night I'm cruising the highway at 60mph in the slow lane. Out of nowhere this white charger gets up my ass and I'm like, oh no you don't and downshift to 3rd. I must have made him mad because he turned on his blue show lights and gets on it too. I was pretty impressed he stayed on my bumper, but didn't dare have the balls to get into the fast lane to try to take me. Eventually I see him pointing to the side of the road so I figured he wanted to talk to me about my unbeatable Japanese powerhouse.










Long story short, after a long talk he ended up giving me points and said I only have 2 left. I wonder what I can trade them in for once I get the 2 more I need?
