My very favorite line is someplace way back on this thread. Dude says "he was pulling on me and then thought he heard turbo whine from my car and backed off" How the hell could anybody ever even say something like that?

Maybe he was all like "Wow this dude is great"!
Mainly because his driving became much more aggressive after I kept up with him for a while. Just a suspicion.

Shit, I misread the application! I thought it said ""must have psychotic abilities". No wonder I was always a bit off the mark.

On a daily basic, there is always a muscle car or ricer that revs at me and tries to race.

All of a sudden, the Quest crosses the double yellows and floors it going up hill. My GF and I were both like "WHOA WTF" and that's when on coming traffic emerged, forcing the Pathfinder to brake so the Quest had enough time to move back over.

That's up there for one of the dumbest driver's I've ever seen.

Eventually the Pathfinder gets the picture and lets me by. I catch up to the Quest, and he doesn't let me by, instead increasing his speed through the turns. GUY WAS CANYON CARVING IN A MINIVAN.

At this point, I'm not even mad and I'm enjoying watching the steel whale of a car tilt in the corners. I eventually take another road and went on my way.

I was speechless.
Sounds like a car guy that was forced to give up his sports car for a mini van and refused to accept it.

My last two daily drivers were Chevy Astros. I always wanted to do an LS swap on them (the V6 in the Astro was a derivative of the LS and the LS was an almost direct swap). Lots of videos of the 400HP plus Astros spanking other cars, including one drag racing and beating a Lambo.

Still wish I had done it to the last one when it blew its engine at 300,000 miles....

I guess I shouldn't be too surprised at so many people trying to race me when I'm sporting this on the back of my car

I got this weird obsession with tailgaters. You know them drivers that loves riding your ass. I commute daily through about 5 miles of some really winding FM roads with speed limit of 55-60.

I usually drive normally minding my own business. Once in a while there are some drivers that will tailgate me as if they own the roads. If I notice they're not following me at a safe distance I'll make them. I'll go slow let them get closer then speed up. Repeat that a few times to pissed them off and get their attention. Most will try to speed up and pass me that's when the fun begins. There are few times some drivers nearly kiss the guardrail trying to catch-up. Guess they're too busy watching my brake lights and not the turns. Lol

*Try it at your own risk*

I have found that I get virtually no tailgaters since I go mine. My wife even commented on how far back people stay when she was riding with me on one of her rare occasions. Maybe because it looks expensive and isn't all that common where I hang out.

I get more revvs from mustangs and cameros than any sort of import. But lately there's been one particular black mustang, and without fail every time he sees me, he starts peeling out, revving, or doing fly bys... on the opposite lane.
