I had a murdered out TL accelerate quickly from behind and change lanes to get next to me, only to match my speed for a few seconds before speeding off. He must have heard my exhaust and assumed I was driving aggressively. I just kept cruising along because I didn't feel like waking everyone up within a square mile at 7AM.

A WRX was slowly creeping up to me on a striaght. I moved over to let him pass. All the way over to far right lane hugging the inside of the turn. He let off the gas though on the outside while I was still accelerating on the inside of the turn, lol. He lost too much ground to regain it in the next straight before his exit. Too bad guy, better luck next time.

I'm going pretty fast on the highway in center lane of 3, and going faster than most cars around me. STILL had a guy in a big ass pickup closing up behind me, then he darted to the right lane to try and cut me but he had to slow down because a van that was going much slower than I was, was now in front of him. I cruise past and he's forced to lose 3 car spaces behind me.

Dumbasses...

That happens to me at least 3 times a day and does not mean they are racing you. It is just how some people drive and not really even note worthy.

Pretty much the same in my part of the world with the exception that when they get blocked by a slower car in their lane, they'll try to put their 30 foot fatassed truck into the 10 feet between the rear of the car in front of them and the front of your car as you slide by.

Never ever ever ever trust these fuckers. One of these days, I'll perfect my stealth BRZ mounted hell fire missile launcher. That is the only solution.

The fun part is that people make a big fuss about me driving a bright orange sports car and how much attention I must get from the police but about 95% of the vehicles passing me or pulling that sort of crap are grey or white pickup trucks and minivans. Most of the cars I see pulled over are those same trucks and vans.

My cousin got sideswiped by one of those guys. When I asked him who hit him he was like "those pick up drivers that dart in and out of lanes without indicating" lol. The guy didn't even have insurance!

300zx shows up behind me, out of no where. He was clearly tailgating me, so I did a pull right in front of him. He either gradually sped up or it just took him a good 3 seconds to catch up. Granted, this was my first week with JDL Turbo.

He finally catches up and he does a ricer fly-by to my right. Dodging and weaving past other cars. So I let him be.

I could have a 1000 HP GTR and have civic SI do that same shit. Regardless, even knowing I would have smoked him, I will never have some car drag me into mad recklessness.

Here's a great one.
BRZ vs Prius C

I was cruising in the middle lane(hwy) and needed to exit. No cars to my right, so i signal and start to creep over. The only car was a small car about 2 or 3 lengths SE of me. I notice the car starts to accelerate, so i speed up (slowly) in 6th gear. I look over and he continues to match my speed. It gets to the point where i look at my speedo and was going about 80(if i could recall...). The prius continues to maintain speed so i slow down to get behind him. He then slows down and tries to block me. I then have to pass in third and basically gun it because my exit is coming up. At that point i look like the @$$hole on the freeway because my car gets pretty loud in third. He follows me off the exit and is mouthing something at me, making aggressive body language that i can see through my rear-view. I turn on the display for my dash cam and he freaks out. Backs off and immediately takes the next turn. I know i sound like Michael Douglas from Falling Down, but trust me this was completely unwarranted.

I don't understand people...

Had a dude in an ancient fast&furious 1 era civic si just now literally hound me down 400 and then across 401. We're talking stalker, driving 3 feet away from my door type of shit. Whatever I did, he repeated. Whenever I sped up to get away from his stupid bright HID lights, he would change lanes 14 times, weaving in and out of traffic to catch up. I wanted to get away but at the same time I didn't want to endanger anyone by enabling this guy. I was legit trapped lol. I enjoy a bit of cat and mouse but holy crap man, just trying to get home. Dude stalked me for good 20-25 km

Had to dodge one of these the other day. If I hadn't moved right over he would have sideswiped me. Good thing there was nobody in the other lane beside me.

Truck D***ks make me rage

Glad to hear you could pull him in 3rd...I was genuinely nervous about this outcome when I saw BRZ v Prius
