Man! I love Wikipedia!
Imbecile was a medical category of people with moderate to severe mental retardation, as well as a type of criminal.The term arises from the Latin word imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded.

I actually turned down a side street that connects to the street I live on. I took that route to see if he would keep following me. If he did, I would have not gone back to my house.

These people are either idiots, teenagers, adults that never grew past the mental age of their teenage years, or a combination. I do my best to not let them bother me.

I had a fast car, once. The only person who ever tried to race me was a 199...7, call it, Chrysler Cirrus with underglow. I was in a completely stock Audi S4. That was a weird experience.

That's odd. My B7 S4 also drew a lot of strange attention. Of all the cars I've owned, it was the one that sticks out as everyone wanting to race. I think the V8 badges may have set folks off.

Alas, I didn't put anyone in their place.

Not sure what it is about these kids in Camaros.

Post some of your encounters you've had!

I had a V6 honda accord do this today. The sad thing is, I probably couldn't have done anything about it even if I wanted too. But at least I look better.

The car looks better too.

I raced an Audi TT, went to jail... Fun night...

sofrsnsokleen · 02-11-2013, 10:25 PM

actually, about a week ago i was turning left onto an on ramp that is kind of at a 90 degree angle when you turn left with no turnaround lane to yield to, I frequently take it when I go visit my parents and always use sport mode so i can slide thru the turn and gun it to get on the highway. Well apparently a shitty older jetta, (non gti or gli), that was behind me, wanted to "race". I use quotations because i was already on cruise control at 68 by the time he zoomed by me like 3 seconds later.... I was just like, ummm... ok. good effort, i suppose.

A couple weeks ago, I got "the jump" on an older Merc C-class Kompressor at a red light. I wasn't trying to race, I just know the traffic lights really well in my neighborhood.

He took it as a threat and made sure to stay in my sideview on the driver's side...either waiting for the next light or waiting for me to react and go for it. Eventually I needed to move over to make a left, so I downshifted and signaled. That's when he sped up and blocked me and continued to do so, even when I slowed down. Eventually I got over and he sped off, making sure I heard him.

I admit, I probably should have just let him pass in the first place but I was slightly ahead of him and just thought it was just another C-class. These are the moments that make me miss my WRX, but they are few and far between.

zc06_kisstherain · 02-13-2013, 12:37 PM

I didnt get anything with BRZ yet but people stare @ my car while cruzing around. lol
I remember i smoked 04 Mustang GT back 3 years ago with my RSX-S with bolts-on + Reflash.
seriously, no point of drag racing. take it to track.

red_comet · 02-14-2013, 12:00 AM

When people pull up next to me at a stop light and start revving/rolling back and forth, I look at them slowly- and while staring- start to pick my nose.

Works wonders. I don't know if it makes them feel like a$$heads, or makes me look like one, but they cut the crap 9 times out of 10.

Lol, that's a good one. I'm gonna do that next time someone rolls up next to me just for the hell of it.
