Omg it makes no sense when people are doing at the speed limit or below in the left lane and stay there while everyone passes them. The only time I do not move over is if i am in the middle lane and some **** rides my ass. He's got two choices at that point: the left lane or right.

Today I had my first real "come race me bro" encounter in my BRZ with some idiot who felt like revving his Mustang GT's engine and speeding up then slowing down. For anyone familiar with Richmond, I'm sure you know of 288 the highway that connects to I-64 on one end and I-95 on the other, well I had just come off of broad st with the Mustang behind me and I knew before he did anything that he was more than likely going to goof off. So we get onto 288, I stayed in the right lane because I figured he would floor it right by me in some idiotic attempt to prove something. After he flew past me he kept running his engine rpm's way up so that I would hear it, then after we pass all the slowpokes he slows down beside me I guess trying to elicit some kind of "race me" reaction. Good luck, I didn't even look at the moron. I swear these rednecks are funny, they see a nicer car and are overcome with an uncontrollable urge to rev engines and speed. I think he cared more about horsepower than a clean car, I think that rustbucket was silver with a lot of grime on it so it ended up looking goldish. I was hoping he would speed off and go find a camaro to mess with. He didn't look like the typical mustang driver who have a lot of facial hair a mullet and a ballcap.

Theres an arsenal of mid-high end exotics at Purdue. Audi A8's, a few 911's, a couple Maseratis, numerous GT-R's, and most recently ... a bright yellow Ferrari 458.


As you might suspect, these are typically "driven" by international students whos parents own manufacturing firms and/or are very well off (obviously). I say "driven" due to the fact that they aren't usually very proficient with driving. Anyway ... the yellow Ferrari had a lot of people talking and I just happened to see him go by on the highway I was turning onto.

I couldn't resist but to get beside him on a roundabout and get a little rev-happy. ^.^

I provoked him from the round-about to the stop light about a quarter mile away and grinned at him enough to get a rise outta him. He paddleshifted once and was in front of me :\

Damn paddle shifters ... I'm pretty sure he wouldn't know a clutch pedal from a handbrake :P It was still a lot of fun and now whenever someone mentions the car I can at least say I raced him .... even if it was more like harassment lol.


(On another note, I get harassed at lights a lot... took a whopping 20 minutes after driving off the lot before some stupid hick in a lifted turbo-diesel truck tried to get me to drag >.<)

That's how society works now, people who work for things get nothing but the people who don't get everything. Rome was the same way and look what happened to it.

I actually had a guy that looked like he came straight out of jersey shore yesterday in a bright red is300 that was pretty damn loud, but looked bone stock. He was pretty much doing that rev at you then speed up and slow down etc deal. We got to the light and he started revving his motor again and I started laughing and told him to come see me at the track because a straight line means shit. Light turned green and he floored it and tried to look like a bad ass. 1. he couldn't control his car. 2. he got pulled over real quick because a couple cars behind us was a cop that was eyeing him since he revved on the way to the light haha.

It became so decadent and corrupt that it ended up destroying itself. Back when Rome was still around they would do all kinds really despicable evil things while distracting the populace with sports and other forms of entertainment. That won't work this time around.
