Drove up to Syracuse this weekend (4 hr drive from Jersey). I had a fully modded Mustand speed up to my car and slow down. I think he was checking out the car more than anything. I had a Honda Accord speed past me probably going like 100 mph after I passed by him a little while earlier. Haven't had a truck harrass me yet *knock on wood*

Had a loud wrx pull up next to me. The guy checked out my car then decided to rev up next to me. As a responsible driver, I decided not to do anything... Until I get my exhaust installed >

no. its not. just look at lap times that the car puts down. its faster than some cars that i think are pretty neat. besides the words you say mean little without support. i could just as easily say that the frs is just a shitty car with rwd to compensate for its lack of power and grip. the cobalt ss is fast, regardless of drive wheels or the amount of gears provided.

I think picking on someone bc they drive a nice car and picking on someone b/c they're spoiled are two different things. But to each his own.

That's exactly how I feel about some of the stuff you say. I guess we're even. I don't take the internet that seriously, I guess you do.

I had a Pontiac Firebird rev at me. I just went on my way while he spun tires at the light. Then proceeded to look at him like he had a giant gummy bear on his head when he pulled up to the next light. Fuel efficient driving seems to beat some of them pretty easily.

What year was the Firebird?

I really cant remember someone "provoking me" to race, which im surprised since it always happened to me in my 95 GSX and the evo.

These days, it doesn't take much to provoke people into trying to race you. The look of the twins alone will provoke some stoplight racer.

People try to race me on a weekly basis. I just ignore them I mean if I wanted to win a straight line race I would have just bought a $20k V8

LSxJunkie · 04-01-2013, 04:34 PM

I blip the throttle to run down the gears when I brake up to a light or for an offramp. Everyone seems to think that means I want to go. I don't. I just like driving stick.

No idea. After the 93 model, they all start to look pretty similar to me. I will say that it sounded good. But I do love the sound of a V8, especially the E9X M3!
