Damn work! Taking me away and making me get scooped.

OP:
What else do you expect them to do?
The car might as well have "COME ON, TRY ME" painted across the trunk.

Pretty sweet car though!

Maybe they just want to get a closer look at that fine looking automobile .....

PS - if you leave your turn signal on and ride the brake light a lot ...... they won't follow as closely ......

..... and it is more effective if you have short gray hair and wear suspenders.

THEN, when you get to a safe, open stretch, you can open it up ..... still they won't follow closely, because they think that you may be having a medical emergency and ...... crash at any moment .......

Gotta find me a "Ask me about my grandkids" sticker for the back!

I downright ignore them, I had one guy pissed off I wouldn't acknowledge him but I was just too cool to race a lowly Camaro. He kept revving and speed matching me on the freeway. Eventually he gave up and backed off a bit just as we got to my favorite part of this particular highway at 1am where there's no ramps or places for police to hide for 2 miles, so I floored it and smoked him before he realized the game was on. Got to 112mph or so, then I slowed and took my exit.

That showed him, I race on my own terms.

Just get a bumper sticker that says:

"No I won't race and that body kit makes you look stupid."

Well, then again, you do have a body kit so maybe you'll have to word it differently.

But seriously I think one dude wanted to "see what I got" in my all stock FRS and he was in a F150. Otherwise I'd say your popularity for unsolicited racing request is partially due to the fact that your car looks the part of someone who's down for it.

To rework the words of Dave Chappelle: "I'm not saying you're a street racer but you are kind of wearing the uniform."

I usually ignore them. I haven't had to deal with it since I bought the car. But last week I had one on my way to work, I was just trying to get in my lane to prepare to turn off. Once I did there was a Tacoma in the lane to my right. I wasn't paying much attention to him until I realized we were at matched speeds and then I heard...3 honks and he took off. I'm just like DAH FAHK!?!?!

Last night though I'm embarrassed to say I accepted the challenge to some high school twinks in a Ford Focus at a stop light. I have no idea why I did it but I did and that will be the last time.

tennisfreak · 04-30-2015, 10:36 PM

Ok OP lets get this out of the way, you car is sexy.

With that said it does kinda say

Come race me bro!

Thankfully no, it wasn't close one

I'm more convinced than ever that for some people, actual performance doesn't matter. If you have more shit hanging off your rusted-out Civic than they do on whatever they are driving it becomes a direct challenge to the size of their penis.

They must have fits of rage when a stock looking car eats them alive.
