Goddamn 911 Turbo, a convertible too for that extra douche status behind me on the highway and both of us are stuck behind some slow cars. So I'm like I got you bruv, Ima overtake and we can go fast. So I do that and I'm doing pretty obscene speeds and this guy just zooms past me as if I'm standing still and proceeds to cut me off and stay right in front. We both ended up at our destination at the same time too, despite him taking the express. Like wtf, take your 540 AWD auto bs car and go race someone your own size. What am I gonna give you with my 162 whp??? Can't wait to put a supercharger with a small pulley on this bitch and give these bastards what for

I actually had the opposite once. Pulled up at a light on my motorbike (just cruising casually in a residential neighbourhood). Some dude in a Porsche pulled next to me, starts giving me the look, and nodding his head. So I thought cool, Let’s play. Sat at the light revving and looking all race like... but when they went green I pulled off at a nice leisurely pace while he was all smoke and wheel spin. The cars around me were laughing their asses off & so was I in my helmet. Best drag race I’ve ever lost

Got another one.
Removed my clutch spring last night and took the car out for a spin to decide if i like it (spoiler: yes). Came up to a stop light and this white WRX pulls up next to me. Young guy that obviously wants to race so i figure ill send him on his way and get back to my own buisiness. As the light turns green i give it a bit more throttle but accelerate normally. I look back and see he stalled at the light . The DRLs on recent subarus turn off when you stall, so its pretty obvious. He starts his car up again and flys past me over a hill and out of my view easily doing 20 over. About half a mile later i see him on the side of the road with flashing red and blue lights behind him. Just not this guys day.

A pack of sport bikes came up behind me in traffic last night. They were doing the normal zipping back and forth in lanes as bikes often do and as usual, I was too.
Not cutting anybody off but just going much faster than the flow without interfering with others driving. One was doing a wheelie which is always fun to watch. So I'm getting kind of ahead at "the game" since they are sort of staying together as a pack but I sense they know I'm keeping ahead. We come up to the next light and one then jumps in close behind me one car back. I left pretty quick and he blasts past everybody catching up but not passing me. He kind of drops back when speeds were pretty high up there. Then we get up to the next light and all the rest of the pack catches up. This time though they all just start splitting lanes almost touching the mirrors of cars they're passing and severely cut off the few cars ahead of us and all rocket away. I was sort of egging them on but think I angered them slightly and they had to show me who's the boss. |

Only thing that keeps me from enjoying this car are these children that always think they must race.

I had CC on the way to work like I always do, and I just change lanes to pass those who are slower...and I guess I must have pissed off some kid in a WRX with his left headlight out. He tried passing me and nearly hit a car beside me as he tried to get in front of me. Traffic started to slow as we entered the tunnel and he zipped by, and once he got past, me he drove with his hazards on for the length of the tunnel and disappeared. I can't catch a break! When I drive the truck, people leave 10 car lengths in front of them and step on their brakes when the car a mile and a half in front of them step on theirs. When I drive the FRS, EVERYONE wants to race.

That's a possibility, but it didn't seem like he was in a rush until I passed all the slower cars squatting in the fast lane. I try my best to woosa when people drive like that. Another one that really gets me is when people are texting and playing on their phones while driving 75mph+.

The odd racer boy is a doosh... but I still love driving my car. Letting someone else’s actions or behaviour affect your own ain’t no way to live.
