Leaving work yesterday I decided to have a little fun in the corners before I get to the turnpike and cruise home as usual.

BAD IDEA!

As I make a right turn on Yamato with a bit of speed I hear some kinda v6 kick-down and some tires being begging for their life.

Surprise it's one of those new camry's with an idiot owner playing some loud ass music while practicing how to oversteer. Needless to say he gave me the look as he matted the gas pedal and flew past me... poor car

Me: Hell No!

C6 driver: C'mon man I'm only running 300hp, i have an exhaust leak.

Me: I'm good man thanks.

Light turns green driver guns it...I'm sitting there confused.

Second interaction

At a gas station buying a drink. Guy approaches me, "hey is that your BRZ." I told him it was. He then asks me if i had a buck to fill up his tires. I told him no. He then asks me if i want to race for 20 bucks. I politely declined and he begins to tell me his car runs 12s. We chatted for a minute and i walked away somewhat confused. Strange interaction indeed.


A yellow C6 tailgated, did a ricer fly-by and revved at me before turning left this morning...

I just like how dismissive so many people are to our cars. Cuz it's PRICELSS to see their reactions when you own them with a boosted brz/frs. Hahahha

I've only been owned by a Tesla model S 90D.........but I guess almost every Super car is also raped by the tesla 0-60, hahha. So I juts brushed it off.

From off the line, I've owned GTI's no problem, audi S4 no problem, 5.0 mustangs, challengers.... oh and some dude on an Infinity g37, and that one seemed to be modified too, the ones i mentioned before were stock. But yeah, boosted BRZ is fast. Next step is to rebuild the motor and double the boost. coming for u dear tesla, :-P

Ask any racer. Any real racer. It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning (even if the other guy wasn't racing)

Talking

So yesterday I had my son and 2 of his friends in the car (yeah, 4 people in the car- it's possible- they are all 16). I'm on the highway and get passed by a Lexus F Sport something or other and one of the kids says "hey, you gonna let him pass you?" LOL, I get a "Come Race Me Bro" from INSIDE my own car! I had to remind him... yeah, no racing....

Not with kids in the car anyway ;-)

Had a GTI behind me on the highway for a good 30 miles on my way to work. Both of us were just cruising going 70-75ish. As his exit came up, he pushed it to 90-95 at least just so he could pass me as he got off his exit. I don't understand some of the sh*t people do.

Captured this CRMB moment on my dashcam. I was minding my own business in the slow lane when I look in my rear view mirror and see a bike passing FAST inside the cones of the construction zone. He pulls up alongside me and paces. Then he rev bombs me and takes off with his buddy.

I don't know if he was trying to instigate a race or if he just wanted me to rev to hear my exhaust, but either way, don't be a douche.
