Why flip me off?

06WRXsti · 01-04-2010, 12:29 PM

So I was up in portland OR to see a trail blazers game. I drive a 2006 wrx sti as my daily driver and on the way back I ran into a few wrx's and a we were "racing" around on I-5 and a yellow 370z pulls up. I get all excited because I actually own a restored 1972 240z and am working on a 260z. So we race around a bit. He beats me by about 3 car lengths and a little farther down we run into some traffic and we are almost completely stopped and I roll down my window to tell the guy nice car and that I have a 240z and he rolls down his window flips me off and says F YOU. and pulls off at the next exit..... I was like...... oooooook. Just felt like venting.

Current running for top three in my view:
~BMW
~Camaro
~Mustang
With the rebirth of the Camaro they are coming out in 100s now, but it is hard to catch up to the BMW crowd, maybe in a few years.

and most of them live in my neighborhood, so now it's a competition to see who can be the biggest jackass on the road and park in the two spots with one car in front of the local coffee shop and be the most conspicuously wealthy....but then the guy with the lambo shows up or the 911 turbo and us Z and Beemer owners get put in our place.....

being humble, discrete, and non boastful is a virtue.

...and the same goes for not getting into street races with WRX drivers....

until recently I drove a Camaro SS, and everyone in a WRX or M3 wanted to race me, it got annoying, and I had to learn to ignore it. Now I drive a Z and I never get revved at or cut up with intent to intimidate or irritate or supply needy vane attention to youngsters like I used to.
