They were so close I could see shadows from the hair on my hands. Over the years, individuals I met, including my neighbors, allowed they did not like "Furin" cars especially Japanese sports cars. The same happened with my 09' 370Z. From December 2014 to November 2015, I drove a Dodge Challenger. Didn't happen once. Now I'm back in a Z, only one month and the following story has happened twice.
On Saturday I was driving up my street, a quiet residential neighborhood with a speed limit that goes from 35 to 25. I was on the way to the woods to go hiking. At the one stop sign on my long street, I saw a large black vehicle approaching at a high rate of speed. I pulled out and continued on at 35. Within seconds, he was on my bumper. He raced up to me at a high rate of speed and stopped inches from my bumper. And he stayed there. I looked in the door side mirror. It was a primer black Chevy, stacked quad headlights, pickup with a lift kit and no front plate. The driver was late teens/early twenties, short blonde hair, ball cap. I drove about an eighth of a mile and slowed (with signal) to turn onto a side street. The driver of the Chevy pickup laid on the horn. I was pissed and yelled "What's your problem redneck!" He honked again and gave me the finger.
I'm an older guy and old school. I will keep my cell phone (a flip phone...I told you. old) out of my pocket and on to call the police next time. Any suggestions? This was in Blue Springs Missouri on Roanoke drive between highway 7 and Adams Dairy
I definitely understand your frustration. There are some redneck hillbilly drivers out there that are just dumbasses.
