"Come Race Me Bro" Encounters

[noobcake]

+1 F prius drivers. Especially those dbags you see with the blacked out tires and fog lights. I know couple people with prius's and they have a 'Im smarter than you' attitude. Most could care less about the environment, its just the $ they save. Other dbags on the street include that a-hole speeding with the stock altima with blacked out tail lights, the dude with a lifted pick up truck, and those a-holes with shitty excuses for hid's blinding your face. end/rant

for clarification, not hating on the pizza guy for driving a prius, he's just trying to make a quick buck, but if you drive a prius and act like a hot shot f_Ck you. I have seriously given thought about making my license plate something to offend a prius owner

Man this morning I had an SUV AND a toyota 4runner hit FULL douche mode...

The toyota I don't know what got up his butt.

I switched to the right lane to pass a slower moving car in front of me and he (being two cars back) pulls at and starts riding my ass. I wasn't going slow at all.

I switch back to the left lane and bam he takes off...lol...

Then farther up the freeway a little blazer starts cutting off everyone to try and get ahead of me.... crazy stuff...

Don't know if it's a full moon today or the toyobaru twins just brings out the douche in people...

I think what makes truck/suv owners f with us is because quite a few of them CAN beat us in a straight line, plus the whole, my truck is big i should be 1st mentality.

My favorite thing to do is pretend like you're gonna race some one at a light, and as soon as it turns green, start to go and then drastically slow down. It makes other "bros" PISSED

Actually had my own encounter around thanksgiving, (forgot to mention it), but this **** in a mazda 3 sedan kept creeping up on me on the highway. I was going 65, he slowly cruised up to me, i go to 70, he creeps up, i go 80, he creeps up, so finally i said to hell with this dude, so i floored it. dropped back to 70, dude catches up, but NEVER revs, speeds up, just keeps staying literally right next to me, so after I flog the gas to the floor a few times he finally lets off. I have 0 idea why he decided to hound me like that, but oh well, it was fun pulling away from a car thats slightly slower than the fr-s.

It's really not that slow, besides in most driving conditions, it's more about traffic pattern recognition than outright speed that makes the biggest difference.

I'm pretty sure our stock car is slow. Its not a fast car, its a nimble car. and yes, a lot of trucks/suvs ARE faster in a straight line.


Not knocking the car, its just fact. Numerous youtube videos can attest to this.

Now boosted cars, thats a horse of a different color.

This car is plenty for DDing. Yes it could be more fun with more power but IMO its enough as is for navigating through traffic.

While I've never experienced a douchey Prius driver in person I know they exsist. There is a funny video of this lady in a Prius going off a on a guy because he's letting his stock diesel truck idle next to her in a parking lot.

Oh yes I forgot about them. They're in the same class as 3 series drivers.

I think Top Gear sums it up nicely

Keep dreaming. Stock Lightnings went mid 13s out of the box back in 2001.

I was going by the first one I saw and the link didn't specify year. It was a 15.5 quarter which was back in 95... a newer lightning is faster out of the box.

Trying to beat cars in a straight line with a FR-S/BRZ? You're doing it wrong.

Not trying to beat them in a straight line, not staying with a stock twin either, but I'm just saying that the claim they are way under powered isn't true.

They aren't well powered but they aren't weak either.
