Guys who watch too many movies

Does this happen to any of you?

My FRS is low, has Five AD body kit, 18's and 255/35 tires, tinted windows and a pretty loud Ptuning exhaust and Turbo. That said, I drive responsibly around other cars, do not weave through traffic, don't tailgate or otherwise act irresponsibly.

However, almost every day I get some jerk off who flies up behind me, gets inches off my rear bumper in an attempt to get me to show him what I've got.

I've got 322hp at the wheel in a 2800 lb car, which is pretty sporty, but but I'm not going to play F&F. Do you guys get challenged? How often? What do you do?

It comes with the territory, or in this case the car.

here is one of my stories http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...postcount=1173

couple solutions I have figured out.
1. tint so they can't give you the stare down, or use visor to block your face.
2. when they get on your ass, turn on the windshield washer squirters.
3. tap brake while gassing
4. reverse fog lights

To be honest, your ARE advertising what you have to the flatbills. They can't help themselves, it's genetic.

I got nothing to add to this thread except for:

Holy crap, your car looks nice!

Yeah, your car does look incredible. Best to ignore the idiots. I'm not sure about hitting the windshield washer squirters. Seems like this would only antagonize them further.

We get it OP, you're too cool for school. Did you start the thread looking to get praise?

Anyways, more than likely it's the body kit and the typical black/bronze combination that are attracting the F&F crowds.
