"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

[MrSlay]

Driving south on turnpike last week a Matte Black Huracan pulled up next to me while I was cruising at 80 and had just overtaken him while he was doing around 60 in the left lane. He proceeded to give me the "Evil Eye" and floor it, then he slows down and does the same thing. I guess he got mad that I wasn't impressed so he pulled in front of me and started to cruise somewhere around 75mph in the left lane, forcing me to overtake him again.

I love my FRS, but it gets really annoying when people try to race you because they think its fast. I haven't raced a Huracan yet, but ive pulled hard on a few lp560's in my ISF so I was a tad bit upset that I was driving the wrong car.

I haven't really had much interaction with pony cars, but last weekend as I was driving to lunch with my wife, a gen5 Camaro (with transformers badges and stripes, I kid you not) continually revved his engine while I was cruising in the right lane. I just carried on with my conversation. He eventually buzzed off.

Also had a G35 next to me at a light suddenly floor it. He must have thought I was trying to race him or something. Makes me wonder how many kids out there are trying to be fast and furious, racing from street light to street light.

Pony cars are very common here. There's only a handful of imports similar to ours (i.e. RX8, Miata, or S2000).

Had an rx8 rev at me today coming the opposite way. He literally stopped traffic behind him just so he could rev at me as I was chilling at a red light. I thought it was funny.

There are loads of Pony cars and only a few imports is Texas? I am shocked! Next you will try to tell us there are a pile of raised pick ups as well.

Hahaha well Texas is diverse. But in the town I'm from, that's how it is. And yes, there are those mythical lifted trucks.

Don't let them fool you.

Yes pony cars here are literally a dime a dozen.

I also see quite a few twins as well.

I also see lots of miatas, 370z, and g35/37 cars too.

S2000's are fewer and farther in between but I think that is anywhere as they were never high volume cars.

There are also a shit ton of civics rolling around here too.

I had a few dudes in a Dodge Dart SRT4 try to race me today coming out of AutoTuned. For no reason, the pulled up next to me, flipped me off and sped off like a bunch of little kids, weaving between the cars and going into the freeway. Dangerous and very childish of them.

Had busted looking Neon revving at me, so I flagged him down. He started talking crap and wanted to race me, so I told him, "Sure, come to AutoX. Loser buys beer." Turns out he showed up to the event... Long story short, that free IPA was delicious!

Any specific IPA? Or just in general. Since an IPA like Alexander Keith's is wildly different than say, a St. Ambroise Double IPA

My personal favorite is actually an Oatmeal Stout so heavy you can cut it with a knife (Laht Nepur FTW), but really I won't turn down any beer.

I've found to love most IPA's.

The biggest stinker IPA I've tried is the Rahr IPA.

Hop Devil is really good.
Samuel Smiths IPA is really good.
Dogfish head IPA isnt bad.

I just had some Sierra Nevada IPA and like it well enough.

I'm not too picky. The more hops the better!

I've come to only drink pale ale type beers now and will go for the IPA first.
