"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

[Cajun]

Was behind a riced out eclipse at a red light. Dude all but broke his neck trying to turn around to see my car. Then started revving his coffee cans while looking at me in his rearview mirror.. I guess he was showing me how good he was at pressing his gas pedal?

[Dadhawk]

Only had one guy, in a red Mercedes C230, try to race me and apparently I inadvertently caused it. (I mentioned this in random thoughts a few days ago).

I made the "roll your window" down motion to him because I noticed his hood was popped up and wanted to let him know. Apparently he thought I meant "Yo, let's race!" because he just nodded and took off with a full launch as soon as the light changed.

I just did a face palm and drove off on my merry way, but not before thinking what I shared in random thoughts...

"if you are going to buy a used Mercedes it'll up your street cred if you remove the KIA dealership badge off the back after you buy it.... "

Welllll I have Genesis, Sentras, Mirages, Porches, BMW, anything you named... I am in Puerto Rico and here everybody want to race me is crazy... to tell you the truth I was tired of being challenge and try with

WRX I was wasted
Genesis Wasted
Mitsubishi Mirage jajaja wasted...
Now I just dont try nothing until I bost or supercharge my FRS...

For the FRS Lovers I know the car is not for that but I want it to be able to beat a civic at least... and I will make it do it.

Had an RX-8 try to race me a few weeks ago on the highway. Dude kept slowing down until I caught up and then would floor it. Didn't seem to understand that I was going to play.

Works wonders. I don't know if it makes them feel like a$$heads, or makes me look like one, but they cut the crap 9 times out of 10.

Thats effin hilarious I will try that if anyone revs at me at the light LOL!

I had a 350Z drive recklessly after seeing me and and he cut me off twice on the freeway but both those times he merged into a traffic lane and I just passed him. Effin idiot.

Come on you guys, you all act so innocent. I have yet to see a single FRS/BRZ behaving. Every single one that I've seen is weaving through traffic and tailgating anyone that isn't going fast enough for their liking. One of you got on my nerves the other night...

I noticed headlights weaving through traffic in my rear view. I was in the fast lane, the "speeder" ran into a wall of traffic and I forgot about him. A minute later, clear of the wall of traffic, I started to cross the 4 lanes one at a time as my exit was coming up in 2 miles. One lane away from getting into the far right, I notice those same headlights right on my a$$. The lane to my left is open, the lane to my right is open, but this rocket scientist felt I was in his way. I got over into the far right lane and the car "sped" past me, got over in front of me, and had to slow down for the two cars in front that were going ~58mph. I wanted to get next to him and inform him of his shortcomings, but there were cars to his left going just as slow. I was over it. As an exit only lane opened up, the two slow cars in front got over. The black FRS/BRZ sped up a bit and got over in front of them. He didn't leave any room behind him, so I wanted to pass and get over. As soon as I attempted to overtake him, he swerved back into my lane, narrowly missing my bumper. I didn't think it was intentional... at first, I just figured he may have realized it was an "exit only". So, I signaled and started to get over to the right, he swerved in front of me again and hit his brakes. I got over to the left, he did the same again. Now I'm pissed. I fake right, as he goes to cut me off again, I give it a little gas and go around him. He tried to gun it and stop me from overtaking him, but you all know how that went. In his effort to be a super ***, he was stuck exiting. He got right back on the freeway.

You're not all cherubs.

Yup I've seen it too other FR-S drivers acting like they own the road. I'm no Saint I speed and in heavy traffic will squeeze into the lane I need to be in to get on or off the highway. But I don't race on the street and if traffic sucks I'll just stay where I'm at until it's time to exit.

In my days of driving $500 cars another scratch isn't going to effect me and I lived in a no fault state. If he wants to play Nascar he should get the full experience. Wait till an old pos moves him out of their way.

No, there are plenty of asshats driving all kinds of vehicles including of course our toyobaru twins. However, there are plenty of responsible people on this forum who drive like civilized chaps. Personally, I grew out of my boy racer stage years ago, which is why I have absolutely no power-increasing mods planned for my car. Its a daily driver that makes daily driving fun, and just because I dont track the car it doesnt give me lease to treat traffic clogged highways like a racetrack. Not that I get traffic up here.

Lol new hampshire.

[Ahernandez0909]

I had an Audi S4 pull up next to me while I pulled over to send a text and he waited until I pulled out and floored it when he saw me accelerate, and by accelerate I mean go from 0-60 in like 30 seconds haha. I might've showed him something if it was an A4 but man I am honored to have an S4 try to race me... The twins are beautiful.

True that. I don't own a GT86, but there's a local guy around here(who I think is actually a member here) that has to show me how badass his FR-S is every time he sees me - usually while we're in rush hour traffic. His typical schtick is to ride my ass so hard that I can't see his headlights or he'll try to ride up in front of me to cut me off in my own lane. I get the impression my prescence initiates the behavior because of what I drive. I've seen him twice now and I got the same aggressive driving display both times. Whatever.

Then yesterday, I see another FR-S with a younger guy driving it, with a license plate of "86'D U". Really? That's a rather bold, attention attracting plate. To his credit, he was driving like a sane individual, minding his own business though.

I'm not going to pigeonhole all twin drivers, but I think the fact that it's an affordable car that appeals to a younger demographic might be the reason we're seeing what we're seeing.

[Huehuecoyotl]

I find listening to mandolin while driving induces the same behaviour

[BRZerk]

kid from HS I haven't seen in years tried to race me in his (parents?) equinox, i pulled away from the light and stopped at the speed limit, a few seconds later he comes crawling past. We get to the next light and he puts down the window and says I should race him in his integra. he said it was "fully built".

i looked it up on facebook, rusted out automatic with the airbags popped. hah. few pics later i saw it with unpainted body panels.

he should have said 'fully rebuilt"

[GH05T]

I had 2 "modded" Civics surround me yesterday night as I was driving down the highway for a good 15 minutes on each side of my car. Gave me the high beam flashes and everything. Not sure what part of NO they don't understand.
