Granted, this happens mostly in my home town of about 70,000. Larger cities don't seem to have the same affliction.
Lately though, it seems every 4 banger with a fart can momentarily loses their mind. I had a teen with an Echo launch at a busy intersection... mid afternoon. Same day a pocket rocket popped off a wheelie and carried it a full block to the next red light.

At first I figured.... coincidence. Chill man, it's self fulfilling cause I'm looking for it. Then my passenger says..... WTFs' goin' on?
I'm getting to the point where I don't make eye contact with any car near me else they might get that look!
Seems just the sight of the Z raises testosterone levels in some guys.
Maybe if I lost the tow hook and painted it pink.
thats freakin hilarious. your absolutely right.

i've had kids in raised trucks, civis, and every other kind of car lose they're mind when they see me and either get pissed off while giving me a dirty look or cutting me off... granted they cannot keep up after i pass them.

do you guys have some sort of "hey you want to race" signal?

here its the person wanting to race flashes his lights and if you want to race you respond with putting the hazard signal on for two seconds.


did this with a ibiza.

I knew there were cops there since I passed there earlier.

he flashed his lights I responded, he passed me and smashed down the throttle.

thenI see a beautifull flash and blue lights. he must of been going 100ish in a 45 zone

I find it interesting, on the parkway every SUV and 15 year old rust bucket wants to race me. Seriously? I don't really care...And then whenever a mustang, 350z, sti etc rolls up next to me they check out my car and that's it.

So some kid asks me if I want to race last night at a convience store. So I asked him what he had and he told me a Pontiac G8, I told him hes 'not worth my time', just cause I don't street race. Well he tells me its supercharged and running like low 13s, I call BS and go off to finish getting what I needed. When I get done I walk outside. Hood of the G8 pops open- Supercharger, then out come about 15 time slips. I'm like FML

Owning a G8 regardless of induction system, puts this kid squarely in the douche-tastic genre, I counter your FML with a :tup: for owning a Z.

and btw, being the a$$hole that I am, I would have probably called the kid a turd and asked him why he was out so late with moms car, then procede to prod him along to tennis practice.

Oh yeah, funny story. There is this security guard station right across the building where I work on base, and I always see this red cobalt SS turbo parked in the parking lot in front. So just for shyts, I asked the guy what he paid for it one day, mind you, he has the fully loaded version. Dude said he paid 27k!!! I proceeded to facepalm and informed him that he basically could be driving my car right now, to which he declared, FML.

I think the biggest part of it is the SRM. People think you are probably revving at them, when your just down shifting to a stop

The owner was a nice kid, pretty cool. His friend he was letting drive it.... Big ol' fag. Guess he friend wanted to feel all special with his friends car cause he doesn't have a decent one himself.

lol, nice kid or not, anyone starts talking quarter mile numbers to me, I take it as a personal challenge, and leads me to believe the other guy thinks his car is better, call it macho, call it proud, but to me, I drive the best thing going:icon17:

oh, what a brilliant and ingenious idea! :rolleyes: and when he loses control and crashes into other people and kills them, what would you recommend then? :shakes head:

only really happened once or twice with me. just ignore them completely, and they will go away.

I woulda responded "Nice job kid, you've got some pretty decent times with that SC you slapped on;;) how does it handle flying into a turn? Mine runs low 13's stock"
