And even if I was blinding him he felt the need to ride my ass and CONSTANTLY HIGH BEAM me for 10 minutes all the way to work.....lol

Ya the reaction is extreme even if you were blinding him. Just wanted to throw that out there in case you had changed something. Obviously he just had very sensitive eyes.

Isn't there a trim adjustment under the dash for the whizzy BRZ spotlights?

Yeah I just came back inside after reading this. Had to park the car in the garage and turn off all the lights.Anyways, it was left almost perfectly in the middle maybe like 3-4 clicks(The knob adjustment) from it being fully pointed forward.

Anyways I'm gonna assume this guy is fckin retarded or a inbred dumb ass I've done more than enough to check if my damn stock headlights are too bright. And I was about to buy some 6K bulbs too....

Just give me a thumbs up and get on. He must've seen the FRS outside (the one time I don't park in my garage

) cause now he hauls ass by my house.

I'll even thumbs up your shitbox.

I don't mean to hate on others' cars but it's hard to appreciate while revving at me while in front of or behind me at the stop sign or flying by my house.

These are the people I'm glad don't buy one of the twins. No complaints about twin drivers! Except when they don't wave back to me

Maybe I should race him to make it stop

But, I figure it's a waste of gas. This is a champagne problem considering how great the FRS is

It looks just like this

Put a sign on your lawn saying "I will not race your POS", and/or "please refrain from driving like an asshat just because you like my car"

I had a Civic SI (2016 maybe) come up beside me and start doing little pulls to get my attention.

First thing I notice is that all I can see is their door handle. My car isn't lowered but the newest SI is like a damn crossover next to a Twin.

I just ignored him. Then he spotted a late model year Integra and they did their Honda thing.

I think people see the Silver Ignition color and think 'cute,' not 'I wanna see if he is fast!' So nobody tries anything, ever.

Demandred7 · 05-10-2016, 10:14 PM

I had a E36 BMW slow down when he saw my car and then proceeded to rev and pull repeatedly on the highway trying to get me to open her up. Just shook my head and kept the cruise control on until he was bored. Pretty sure it was a lower model because it had flat black side skirts, but, there was no emblem to say for sure. I don't need to roll the dice on my license. Lately, if I didn't have bad luck, I would have no luck at all.

I've been wanting someone to try to race me lately, just to see what the turbo can do against another car. But no one ever tries it. I suppose it's a good thing.

The new SI civic is like a rally car, it's crazy!

That's all I'd ever hope so if I had FI!! it's a S A F E thing

There's a white FR-S near me that always tries to race everyone. His parents bought him the car and he is constantly trying to race people.

I really don't think he understands that while SOME people make 300+ hp... it does NOT mean that his makes the same.

He has a crappy fart can exhaust on it and crappy knock off wheels that don't even pass the JWL standard. He really needs to go and read the brochure for his car.

So yesterday I had a lifted diesel H1 Hummer try to take me at a stoplight. MASSIVE clouds of black smoke coating everyone around him as he took off. Very confused as to what he felt threatened about.

hmm i wonder what exhaust setup he has to make it sound like a fart can. its rare to hear an 86 with a fart can, even with a custom setup.

Honestly, the guy probably bought a fart can muffler, had a muffler shop cut the existing one off and weld his new one on.

Think those really crappy cherry bomb exhausts from the late 90s.

Most likely a home-brew muffler delete with a resonator welded in, there's alot of ways you can ruin the way this car sounds

but it's pretty tough the FA20 boxer is very hard to make sound farty
