Which Hankooks are you using and how do you like them?

Hankook Ventus V4 ES. Ultra High Performance All Seasons for the cold weather. They helped me avoid a second accident this afternoon (not my day). Sentra backed out of a driveway into traffic. Gunned it and swerved around them. Totally impressed with the handling of the Z by the way both times. VDC did not kick in which I like. Told me I was within the limits of the car.

I agree with you 100%. I currently dd an IS300 and when it was bone stock I never really had many issues with people going out of their way to be cocks. I recently threw on some enkei wheels with pretty wide tires and the car gets alot of looks now. It also seems to bring out the a-holes. It's like I have to go out of my way to avoid these people on the road now. I would assume it will be worse with a new 370z. You don't see them around much and their super hawt looking. People feel so safe inside their bubble like they can do whatever they want and nothing bad can come of it. It's when your start tailing them to have a freindly encounter that they start to worry and realize that their c0ck move might get their personal space invaded :tiphat:

Other than the potsticker comment he didn't say anything wrong. An asian person is an asian person just like a white guy is a white guy. The guy was only painting a picture for us.

My favorite incident:
Was waiting in the Z at the front of Walmart to pick up my wife. (hate going in that place). Guy walks over and leaves his shopping cart 10 inches from my front bumper! Eye contact, smirk, and walks away. Wife arrives, we leave, and spot the guy at the very back of the lot, bags in hand. Roll up behind him in neutral, three feet behind, into gear and make like I'm doin the quarter mile. From my rear view, I could see he'd let go of the bags, and he was twitching pretty good!
Yah, I know, kinda immature, and some sh.t from the wife........ still worth it though!

Since there is never a lightning bolt when you need one, someone had to do it!

This morning it was some POS Dodge pickup with part hanging off. I was turning right at a light, he was turning left. He clearly say me as I began the turn, and made no attempts to slow or stop. I had to really gun it to get ahead of him (props to my Hankook all seasons!:tup:).

This happens every coupe of weeks. Some mess of a car parks too close, tailgates, etc.

Does this happen to anyone else?

I used to have it all the time when I drove a sporty car. Never had it happen in my G20. In the WS6, I got flipped off for no reason, tail-gated, swerved at, etc. etc.

Take it as a sh1tty compliment. People are jelous and want to **** with you.

Some douche left a shopping buggey on it's side right in front of my bumper one time. Was in a hurry and didn't see it. Scratched up the paint pretty good. Moral of the story? Avoid wal-mart in a nice car. Trashy people frequent it too often.

it seems to happen once or twice a month. it's like your on a motorcycle
no one seems to see you at all....

happens everytime park at the far end of the parking lot and when you get back someone in a beater is parked right next to you.

or stopped at a red light can you get any closer to my axx!!!

I hate when idiots change lanes without checking their blind and I have to avoid them. To top it off they give me a look a hand jester like I almost ran them over.

Lemers 12-09-2010 10:23 PM

Just drive faster than everyone else and no one is around long enough to pull something stupid. ;)

that person doesn't even work at my office building, they work at a building down the road and just park in the lot b/c its free.

mick 12-09-2010 11:48 PM

that is so wrong, there are so many other places to park in that lot.

hahah i know. more recently, this cute girl from my building started parking next to me and it doesn't seem to bother me as much :p her car is in weirdly good shape. like, its always pristine, kinda weird. she doesn't really seem like the type to be into cars. maybe she just parks in the garage at home so it stays pretty clean.
