Here in S. Florida it is any scrappy car that's been lowered with a cheap and angry bumble bee muffler. Usually a Civic. I won't even look over in their direction at a stop light if I hear it approaching.

Most people that have those cars don't even know the rev limit or how to drive them anywhere near it. That's why I fear mustangs...just one push of pedal away from disaster!!!

not for nothing, i took my traction control all the way off which is available in my model due to the super trak pak and spun it out. I wasnt even ******* around, late at night just cruising with a friend. I whiskey throttled it, hit the curb on one side of the road then hit the other and landed next to a tree on someones front lawn. Neither of us were hurt nor anyone else. I had about $2500 damage to a two week old car and learned my lesson.

My generation (im 29) for the most part doesn't know how to control a rwd car without nanny control help. We are part of the FWD safety generation.

I walked away with an immense amount of respect for the power and how quickly you can lose it.

What was that you said about "any" M series or AMG? Especially the AMG...

^Nice cars but I seriously doubt they could crawl over the kind of obstacles my long arm WJ can. Especially the Bimmer; it would get expensive replacing things that shatter due to lack of ground clearance/suspension travel.

I bet the G63 would give it a run for its money. That thing has gone unchanged for the past 30+ years other than updates. It even puts Land Rovers to shame.

And the G 6x6 definitely will...

That G Wagon would, especially considering that he doesn't have those "long" arms to hang on things. LAs work great on an RTI ramp but are no match for a more carefully engineered mid or J arm solution in real world use.

There was a stupid '16 or '17 Charger SRT (silver with black racing stripes) that came flying up on my *** this afternoon in a 35 mph zone, probably doing well over 50 just to catch up to me, minding my own business in the right lane. This jerk was all over my *** for about a mile until I very slowly passed a Honda Accord on the in the left lane. There was about a 12 car gap between that Honda and the BMW in front of it. I knew darn well that this moron was going to try and jump in the other lane and either screw with me or pass me. So as I was just getting to the front of the Honda, I dropped from 5th straight into 2nd and waited for this idiot to make his move. Sure enough, he did just that, and I freaking nailed it to the floor. All the way up to 70 mph, and he never was able to gain on me, just keeping even with me at best. Needless to say, his plan was foiled with that BMW in his way and he never did get ahead of me. In fact, he ended up getting back behind me again and stayed there for another couple of miles until I turned off. Of course, he had to floor it through the intersection to try and prove a point.

Generally I wouldn't do such things, but this dude was pissing me off more than anything for that first mile, so I just wanted to make sure that I would piss him off in return. And I think I did.
