Yesterday a guy pulled alongside me, the usual revving his engine, looking at me, bobbing his head, hand gestures pointing forward, clearly messaging he wanted to 'race' - and he was in a 1970's vintage Triumph TR6.
I don't understand that at all. He was an 'older' guy like me (both of us looking at 60 in the rearview mirror). My stupid 'street racing' days are long behind me (like, high school in the 1970's, around the time his Triumph was built). I thought most British car owners were cooler than that (especially ones driving antiques). Was my Japanese car that much of a threat to his manhood that he had to try and goad me into 'racing' to prove he had a bigger dong? Could he not stand the idea that a modern Japanese car was (probably much) faster than his 'proper British sports car'? For a couple of guys in their 60's?!?!? I just thought it was pathetic, and ignored him. Maybe he had early-onset Alzheimer's Disease, and somehow snuck out of the house and took his old car for a ride. |

Also had a guy with his girl in the passenger seat, in a 90s beat up Honda Accord. Dude was doing the good old "speed up and slow down". When the girl looked back at me, I spooled up and that's when he knew he was in for a surprise. I even had distance to switch lanes in front of him and even put my turn signal on, while clearing the blind spots. This was also on my birthday lol

Lots of weird mini flexes from dodge ram and other pickup owners as a of late.
Random downshift acceleration next to me on the highway in medium/heavy traffic on my morning commute. Literally downshift.. noise and brake because there is no room. Maybe they want to hear my car? I never respond. I also have had a lot of people tailgate me on my favorite offramp on the same commute. It's a great corner as it connects two highways. I'll often just downshift and not use the brakes. I've had one of the same rev truck douche bags try and follow me about a week ago. I specifically carried more speed because of how annoyed I was staring at his headlights blasting me through the rear view mirror. I'm pretty sure poop came out of his pants when he realized trucks don't turn that well. |

This is from July;
Battery died, had it replaced and decided to take the car to a scenic place with my woman. A freaking soccer mom in a SLK tries to do some crackheadery and challenged me, kept up with her for a while then got tired and just passed her. Her face was so funny, trying to figure out how the shit a FRS took her near $100K car like that. Its mostly people challenging me on the highway and I dropping cars at them. |

Driving to work, cold, raining and a slick corner some Infinity thought I wanted to race I guess. Glad I stayed away from him!

He had pretty much had to brake through every curve we came to as I was taking it close to double the posted speed.

I am not sure what the hell he was doing. I was driving normal and he was sliding all over the place. Glad I was not beside him. I drive that road 5 days a week for over 5 years. It is always slick when it is wet. |

Just shows how people are willing to race, even if they only have 0.1 miles till the next exit.
