A Toyota Prius engaged me in a race today.

I was at the red light and a Prius was behind me. Light turned green I drove slowly forward because there was a big dip between the pavement and the road. And you know our Zs don't like big dip especially when you have a Sports package.

So I was half way thru the intersection and the light turned yellow. The Prius wasn't happy getting stuck behind me so the dude repeatedly honked me.

Once he cleared the intersection into a two-lane street, he floored his Prius. So I stepped on the gas and within 3 seconds, I couldn't see his Prius behind me. I stopped at the next light, and he slowly caught up.

Then he tried to engage me in a race. Light turned green and I could tell he floored his Prius again. I slowly drove away. He made a U-Turn at the next light so that was the end of it.

I don't know what the hell is going on but I've had a couple of incidents where Priuses were trying to race me. Driving a Z, it seems like everybody is trying to honk you for everything you do. Not that i'm scared of them, but do they really think they have a chance against a Z?

Sometimes i just want to relax and take it easy in my Z while listening to good music. People tend to think when you're in a sports car you should always drive aggresively and when they see you dont, they try to honk to get you upset or something.
