talks about making mature points, but swears in his responses, and sports a profile pic of a selfie of himself in a guy fawkes mask

Not sure why some folks are changing this to an argument thread, but don't let it get to you. I actually experienced something like this on the way to work this morning 3 times.

I usually don't drive Saturday morning to avoid traffic in the afternoon, but I had a Camry drive right next to me until the ramp to the freeway, no matter how many times I slowed down or sped up he would match my speed.

As soon as the ramp came up, I was about to pass an Altima slowly because my lane was empty when I heard some revving and the Altima just smashed past me, cut into my lane, and didn't even go into the freeway...

To make my morning commute better, this Accord was tailing me halfway through the freeway bridge for no reason...

**** like this happens all the time, just let it go, not worth the tickets or popo pulling you over, or a wrecked car

The flipping off is something that comes with owning a Z especially in certain locations like the Bay Area... At least you have your cams, still need to find a quality one for my car...

I have it all the time where people let me pass so they can check out my car and then hop behind me to complete a pass. Let them admire and go on with their day.

Chuckles does make a point.

Since when did swearing make a point immature? Nothing wrong with his profile picture, at least he has one... The only immature thing I see is the harassment you're giving this guy for some stupid bs...

Everyone has their own stories pertaining to the topic, can we get back to the topic please.m

lol...Yes this is harassment for sure! I think everyone's trying to say that yes this stuff happens literally every day - and the situation he posted was barely even a situation - and only because he made it one.

Look dude, what more do you want from me? I have already said multiple times that this could have been handled differently. In the moment I did what I did. Would I handle it differently next time this happens? Perhaps. Now, because others have voice their opinions without jumping all over me and actually gave me constructive criticism, I responded in kind. I get that this rubbed you the wrong way, but I will not apologize. Just for you, I viewed it again.... I was wrong for slowing down on him. However, if you watch closely, he did not just merely change lanes, before my car started to slow (verified by the red car next to mine) he was purposely accelerating to get on my back bumper.

Now, I have said my peace about this, moving on.

I had one of the clowns try to get me last night. Someone in a lifted chevy gun it as I was cruising past him. When they realized I wasn't racing they just sat next to me.

kevinpantz · 09-20-2016, 12:48 AM

I haven't had ANYONE try to race me in 6 months in my nismo. I have found that people in front of me drive a LOT slower than when I had my rsx or s2000. They also pull out in front of me a lot more frequently. That one annoys me more than anything. Being more mature than my younger honda days I drive less aggressively yet find myself in a lot more situations in the past year with people hovering around my car on the streets. Just 2 days ago it was raining so hard here that the roads flooded. Long story short, car was on my *** for a good 7 miles, never passed when he had the chance, come to a stop sign and I had pull a california stop since the person behind me started sliding and ended in the middle of the intersection.

mults · 09-20-2016, 11:50 AM

A coworker (with 350Z) and I were on the freeway last month and a knucklehead in a Kia Soul got next to me (I was in the left lane) and would not let me back in to the right lane behind my friend. We sped up and slowed down and he didn't budge...so, with our walkie-talkies, we decided to put some space between us and him. This lasted for a few minutes and then he got next to us again, no matter what speed we were going. This went on for at least 10 minutes until he got to the off ramp. What an idiot!

The "hovering" crowd.. stay with you no matter what speed you're at. Annoying..

I had my 2013 Nismo (100% stock) for two days before the CSC let loose. In that time a teenager working at McDonalds hit on me. Also, some random guy driving in front of me but turning left on a side road stuck half his body out of the car to give a thumbs up. I have no idea what all of that is about. My daily driver costs 3x what the Nismo does new and no one seems to care about a big *** SUV.

I think some of your ricer problems could be solved with a high-quality radar detector and driving your car with a little aggression. You don't have to set new track records going to the grocery store but your car was not made to run in the right hand lane 5 MPH under the speed limit. Get a clear bra installed and don't give them the opportunity to get in front of you.

I drive it just like I do my motorcycle. Be aware of things around me and when in doubt, gas it out.

I came from the motorcycle world, too. Ducatis, Aprilias and Triumphs, everyone wants to see the exotic and unintentionally get a little too close for comfort.

pearlmt · 09-29-2016, 08:31 PM

wow... I thought I was the only one who encountered situations like this for no reason.
Interesting to know I am not alone here!!

pearlmt · 09-29-2016, 08:50 PM

cars that give me trouble: older toyota camrys, older nissan altimas, toyota sienna vans, old beater small trucks and late model civics. not to sound arrogant, but its always the beater cars or the soccer mom vans giving me trouble! when I drive I mind my own business doing speed limit in the right lane. I get brake checked by people on the daily even if I am going slower than everyone else. I never tailgate and always leave a 3 car length distance.
