Texas pickup drivers are ***king crazy. Wish I had my Gopro on..
Lawn care is a cutthroat business, man.

Driving home from work today I saw a black Audi R8 around 1/4 mile ahead of me. I eventually creep up and pass, no revs thrown or anything, I'm just cruising. I didn't look over as I passed because I didn't want him to get the attention he is probably hoping for when he takes it out. He cruised behind me for around 5-10 minutes, probably around 10 cars behind. Eventually he creeps up and then is right behind me. 3 or 4 times he attempted to pass, each time getting squashed back by cars in that lane since this is a 2 lane highway. With each attempt he put way more throttle into it than he needed since there is now congestion/traffic and there was no where to go, clearly trying to show off. On his final pass attempt he got rejected, again, but this time decides to cut me off. There was literally 0.75-1 car length of space that he decided to squeeze into and I had to slam on my brakes. I turned my high beams on and gave him the finger. After about 10 seconds he switched lanes and gunned it. This time he was able to get around 10 car lengths in front. Around 10 minutes later I ended up passing him just as he got off of his exit. I cant stand when people weave in and out and this kind of shit when there is traffic.

It's funny, there's a very famous douche viner, that doesn't know shit about cars that has an R8 because he got a massive discount from audi. He'd be the type of douche to drive like that he does live in NJ

Today in heavy traffic on a 2 lane highway I came across a new Corvette convertible. He ends up next to me, revs his motor a few times, and then decides to pass everyone on the shoulder just like a douche would. The car still had temp tags on it...he probably thought he was the man. Corvettes are one step closer to a Buick IMO, I do not envy Corvette owners.

I had a new beamer try to race me. He was tailgating me and did a little flyby. I let him have his fun for a minute, until I did a little flyby on him. I let him catch up, and then I hit the boost again. Funny shit trolling people with the turbo. I don't know what kind of beamer it was, but it had those aggressive fenders found on the newer oem cars. Mines only pushing 250, so it was probably a inline 4 turbocharged bmw

That happens to me daily and they get really pissed when i laugh. Earlier an E39 m5 did that to me at a light today. If i'm a real asshole i give them the jerk off motion. 1. They should pick on someone their own size. 2. They are usually jerk offs. LOL

So cool man! I wish I was awesome enough to pull on people on public roads, impressing no one but yourself. But, oh wait. I'm not an idiot who does that stuff on the street.

Carry on.

It doesn't happen to often for me, but when it does, I usually find it funny. In the case of the civic, I guess you could argue that our cars are "the same size" given how light some of those things are. Unless they just have a stupid loud catback, then there isn't much to do other than laugh.
