"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

Mind you, this was in a neighborhood.

I was in a 1998 Corolla.

I wasn't going to race in a beater let alone my FR-S, so I thought to myself, "I'm just gonna see what this guy does." I pull over to let him and the C6 Corvette behind him pass.

Needless to say, he was in the left turn lane. As soon as he saw the 'Vette turn right (illegally I might add), he immediately turned right from the left turn lane. The 'Vette didn't want to race either, so he turned right and nope'd the fuck out of there as soon as the STi was close to him.

So yeah, I witnessed a douchebag try to initiate a race with a 'Vette.

I honestly don't understand the need to "initiate" anything with car people, I assume they do it because of an insecurity or something to prove themselves. Only time I've caught up to other sports cars is to give a thumbs up or say hello, don't think I've once tried to initiate a race on purpose.

Teenage kid pulls up next to me in an 80's mustang that looked as though it had been patched together from about 8 different scrap heaps and started revving at me. So I rolled down my window, maintained eye contact and did a HUGE two-handed jerkoff motion followed by holding my thumb and index finger about 2cm apart, then pointing at him and laughing like a crazed maniac... I'm pretty sure I broke that poor kid's brain.

I had two encounters Saturday. Both perplexing and entertaining.

First encounter in sitting at a stop light in the left hand turn lane when I see an infinity g35 making a turn in my direction. I see him looking at me as he's turning when he gets to my side he floors it and I smell his nasty exhaust as he puffs out grey smoke.

Second encounter I was driving home on the i10 from my friends house. I'm doing about 75/80 just cruising listening to music. I see a white integra with a fart pipe ahead of me a bit. I pass him and continue on. A mile or so later I hear an annoying buzzing sound to me left. I look over and see mr integra pacing me. I think nothing of it and continue driving. After a minute of him pacing me he tries to accelerate ahead slowly fat pipe blaring loudly and starts weaving through traffic. Then he exits.

I don't get it. 2 people in one day and all I did was drive normally.

On the highway coming home from work, I see a new white Civic with exhaust, wheels, lowered, aftermarket HID and fogs who just came onto the highway from an on ramp. We both end up at a red light, we are in the same lane and he is 2 cars behind me. As traffic begins to move I change into the left lane which is moving faster than the lane we were in. I think this is when he first noticed my car--and it is when it all began.

He is now a few cars behind me, in heavy traffic. Eventually he attempts to pass me and when side by side he threw a few revs, which I didn't acknowledge. He then gets set back in a line of cars while my lane is cruising and I gradually gain a mile or two. I thought that was the end of that.

I look in my rear view and see the faintest glimpse of poor light spread of aftermarket HID and yellow fog lights. There was probably 20 cars between he and I at this point and at least 1-2 miles. I literally say to myself "I give it 10 minutes", this is at 5:38pm. Traffic dies down and at 5:44 I see his headlights approaching quickly, hardly any other cars in the mix.

Its 5:46 now, and of course he approaches and paces me, revving his motor. He eventually had to let off and get behind me because of a car that was in his lane. As I pass him I said what the hell and downshifted and let it rip. Up until now I gave him 0 acknowledgement. This got him fired up.

There are now a few cars on the highway, left lane consistently moving faster than the right. He attempts to pass, and he does, but then gets squashed back again. This effing frustrated douche then decides to pass cars on the shoulder just to get ahead of me. Once he got to a clearing in the right lane he went WOT and got probably 1/2 mile distance on me. I kept normal pace with the rest of traffic and eventually reached him. He is stuck in the right lane behind a car, with no option to pass since there was a car in the left lane blocking him. I approach in the left lane and as I pass him, he revs like crazy and I lifted my hand in a "what the fuck dude" gesture. He then gets off at an exit a minute later.

Sorry for the long story, but I haven't see this level of douchery in a while.

What is it about diesel trucks... I'm coming up to a stoplight and I guess the truck heard my car because It's loud and he pulls up next to me and revs a whole bunch, light turns green and he floors it and all I could see was all the black smoke.... I feel like whenever I see diesel truck drivers they're always doing this.

That moment when some **** in an Escalade with the "Out of a job yet? Keep buying foreign!" bumper sticker feels the need to put you in your place..... Revs at a stoplight, takes off, almost loses control of his ****mobile and practically runs you off the road.

Yea, I know, it was hard not to fuck with him though. Guilty as charged.

He's probably the worst I've come across... I've never seen someone pass on the shoulder to do a ricer flyby. Complete desperation.

A guy in a black R35 stared at me this morning. Was it a "come race me bro" or "nice ride bro"?

I feel like GTR owners would consider the FRS a class beneath them. That's how my neighbor (R35 owner) treats them at least.


Anyways, I was in stop-and-go traffic at night and there was a moment where my lane went faster than the rest. I absentmindedly over revved slightly while keeping up w/ them. I suppose the car next to me took exception to that and revved their car to redline. It was waaaaay louder than a normal car which made me look over. To my surprise, it was the Salt Lake Comic Con R8, go figure:
