You gotta be careful with what you say man. Everyone is a saint on this forum.

Some say they're a living and breathing Driver's Guide just waiting for the moment someone slips so they can display their superior knowledge of the law over those who misbehave even in the slightest bit.

I saw a black Viper today on the highway. I was going to race him REAL HARD. But then I remembered the sobering voices of reason from the Internet and I decided instead to just pretend I didn't see anything else but another law-abiding driver who just happens have a car capable of unholy chaos but chooses instead the safety of the good citizens and not vile demonstrations of... well I could tell you but the ban hammer would come down on my head like piano from a 4th floor apartment.

This POS Cavalier with no muffler that lives around the corner revs at me ever time I see him. Either he wants to show me how cool his car is or race.

Just give me a thumbs up and get on. He must've seen the FRS outside (the one time I don't park in my garage ) cause now he hauls ass by my house. I'll even thumbs up your shitbox.

I don't mean to hate on others' cars but it's hard to appreciate while revving at me while in front of or behind me at the stop sign or flying by my house.

These are the people I'm glad don't buy one of the twins. No complaints about twin drivers! Except when they don't wave back to me

Maybe I should race him to make it stop But, I figure it's a waste of gas. This is a champagne problem considering how great the FRS is

It looks just like this

A riced out RX-8 gunned it and then dangerously cut me off today. Don't know if something was wrong with it or that they burn oil by design, but the white smoke was pretty bad out the back.

Just a little more gas and you could have pit maneuvered him...

The sad part is... I did start taking off but backed off because, well my guilty conscious and also that there was traffic. It wasn't worth it to endanger people, but this guy didn't seem to give a fk.

Yeah I've been showing quite a bit of merci even when I have right-of-way since I can't buy another new Hyperblue.

I dogged an RX8 in a rental BRZ, not an easy kill, but doable if you are on your game.

I had an R35 GT-R pull up next to me about two months ago. I checked his car out, I know it, he lives a few blocks away. Light goes green and he takes off! WTF? I tried to chase, but it was futile. It would have been futile even if I had realized he wanted to run. What, 500HP, AWD, twin clutch playstation transmission and performance figures that make Porsches get nervous, WTF did he think I was going to try?

I know something he doesn't know, though. My little BRZ has a big brother. He is also called GT-R and while nowhere near as refined and technological as an R35, it's got a big stick going back in the engine bay and he will be looking to smack a bully upside his head for being mean to his little brother.

Little BRZ makes endless runs to Nissan, to the Post Office and to the shop supporting the build, GT-R owes him a scalp.

I don't think this RX-8 was stock tbh. BUT in my defense, I was in 5th gear and they gunned it before I could react. haha. Though I still didn't like how reckless they were just to cut me off. If I hadn't backed off, I'm 81% an accident would have happened.

Had this happen this morning,

Had this white car get on the ramp on to merge on the interstate/highway I was on. The highway I was on is a 2 lane by the way.

So he's half a car length a head of me on the right lane and I'm in the left lane driving "spiritedly" because I'm gonna be late to work if I'm not and then the car slows down and gets behind me, and then I start to notice the light density on his head light so then I'm like wtfck?

I didn't realize he was trying to High beam me, well I guess it doesn't work very well on 20% tint lol anyways he's riding my ass and then backing off just to high beam me, and then he would ride my ass and then high beam me (turning them on and off) he does this ALL THE WAY until I get to my exit to work.

And HE FOLLOWS ME like what? Anyways as I get off the exit I gun it a lot more spiritedly so theres quite a LARGE gap between us the only way for him to catch up to me is if he goes the speed. Well I was like well he's gone and then next thing you know I see my rear view mirror and I'm like god damnit its his again.

Anyways I try to slow down let him pass and switch lanes he gets behind me and does the same thing he does on the high way....Anyways I can go into more detail about this but this is boring, the next thing that happens is that I'm at the stop light to work and I assumed since this stop light ONLY goes to my work place he either works with me or is FOLLOWING ME, I assumed he had to be my co worker fckin with me because WHO IS UP AT 4 IN THE MORNING ON MOTHERS DAY unless they have to work at the same place I do.

Well I go to my work and then I see him turn in the same building but on the OTHER SIDE which is owned by a different company but in the same building. So I'm like wtf?

So I go see him and confront him im like "YO IS THERE A PROBLEM" Youre not gonna believe this this damn redneck in his FCKIN 2010 KIA FORTE or something says YES I DO HAVE A PROBLEM YOUR HEADLIGHTS WERE BRIGHT AND I WAS RETURNING THE FAVOR.

I'm mad af because MY STOCK HEAD LIGHTS and BULBS that I been DAILY driving for 2 and a half DAMN years IS BRIGHT? What? So I get out my car and I'm like bro these are from the damn factory if you got a problem with these lights you can call subaru but I'm 99% sure that these are legal, I bought this car new so these head lights came fresh from the factory. I show him my high beams and what not and he makes that face like "Damn I fcked up" or one of those "Damn I'm a tool" kinda look I wanted to ask him why he felt the need to keep following me and keep riding my tail when for the 30-60 seconds that I was apparently blinding him he coulda just let me pass and not sped up with me. But long story short, I was just like look man sorry you think theyre bright but I gotta go to work.

TL DR: Redneck thought my STOCK headlight/BULBS were TOO BRIGHT and rode my ass all the way to work, turns out to be a worker on the other side of the building I work at but owned by another company.

Adjustment is right? You haven't changed the suspension have you?
This happened to me when I lowered my one Lancer. Stock lights and some guy waved me over (he was nice and polite though) to say the lights were blinding. I thought he was nuts until I walked up in front of the car. Apparently when I lowered it the rear went down a bit more than the front and that was all it took to put my lights up into people's faces.
Just brought it up because the guy may have a point and factory lights or not you may be blinding people.

My car is stock height, never lowered. And I don't plan on lowering it anytime soon lol. It was the first time anyones complained about my lights being too bright on my BRZ, I worked 2nd shift for 2 years nobody said anything I even asked around with my co workers and they were like "What!? for as long as I've seen you on the way or from work they didn't bother me."

And even if I was blinding him he felt the need to ride my ass and CONSTANTLY HIGH BEAM me for 10 minutes all the way to work.....lol
