*BEWARE*- This guy isn't part of the forums, but avoid him. I had a little run in with him last night, he's not friendly at all. All I did was pull up next to him and say nice car and if he was on the forums so I could tag him in the spotted section. His response, "Nice car. But I did performance upgrades, I didn't just waste my money on cosmetic modifications and no performance." I told him he had no idea what I have done to the car and that he didn't know me or what I had under the hood. I took off to go home. The guy ran around his car, hoped in, did a u-turn and continued to floor it until he was right up on my back bumper down the street and continued to tail gate until I took a couple turns and he decided that I wasn't going to race him. All this came about by me just being a friendly 86 owner trying to show some respect to another enthusiast.

Now I've only been a part of this community for the last couple months, but I have always found enjoyment in being a part of it. All the other owners I run across with, I have found to be really chill and always up to showing mutual respect. Even the people that don't return waves or deuces, that's fine, just means they were too busy or simply aren't in the know about the forums. I value every friendship I have made in this community and I'm not going to let one guy with a bad attitude try to change that. I just want to give everybody a heads up if they see this guy to not take offense to any ignorant thing he has to say. I will continue to flash deuces or lights at any frs/brz owner and I look forward to see everybody at future events and meets.

Sucks man, I hate people like that. Surprised I haven't seen you in the couv. Where do you drive usually?

I live on the west side and don't usually come out until it's dark because I work during the day. I go to a lot of meets now. You?

That sucks - I'd expect that from some stereotypical muscle car driver with a frail psyche, but that's hard to believe that someone with a twin would act like that, and try to intimidate you.

Did you retort by telling him that he wasted money on a car if all he cared about was getting a performance vehicle? Something tells me he likely didn't install any of those things himself, so I'm willing to bet he wasted money in installation fees alone - I have a hard time believing that anyone that develops a bond with their car that truly caring about it, and working through the frustrations, and learning experiences of doing these things on your own, or with the help of friends brings to you, and builds in your character.

I'm also not sure what good those 'performance upgrades' he put in his car are good for if the majority of his time spent while driving is constantly pushing his brakes while tailgating the shit out of people.

Sorry to hear about this experience you had @Asphalt2014.

Yeah, he was pretty proud of PRE for some reason. Oh well, just wanted to share to everybody so that nobody would take offense the next time he opens his mouth. Thank you everybody.

I want to see him in a SCCA autocross event. You're a good guy! On the other hand, this guy is going to end up one day wrapped around a tree.
