Are other drivers more agressive around you when you drive your Z ?

m4a1mustang · 04-10-2011, 06:03 PM

I was usually left alone for the most part. With both the 370Z and the 5.0 I have had ricers try to mess with me, but I think it's more a case of them wanting to see the car run not actually thinking they stand a chance at winning.

Occasionally a BMW douche (we have A LOT of them here) will try to pick a fight but I just ignore them until they go away.

/\ it's not just up there, they're down here too.

Oh, I totally forgot to mention the infamous F-150 drivers. They might actually be the worst ones of all.

It's too bad. They are such nice cars but their image is ravaged by a large number of d-bags that flock to them.

The funny thing about NOVA and BMWs is that 25% are dbags, 50% don't care, 15% are cool car guys, and the rest are unmarked cops.

bmw's as unmarked's up there? Good use of y'alls crazy tax $$ huh?

Yeah, seems like the majority (obviously not a scientific study) of bmw drivers are pretentious and trying to show the world how well off and awesome they are. Oh well, whatever floats one's boat I suppose.

Drug bust confiscations. There are Lincoln Navigators, various Dodge Hemis, all sorts of sneaky-a$$ unmarked up here.

Young guys in old riced-out Hondas. The occasional older Porsche 911, any M3 or 335/135i and every Infiniti G. I point at them and laugh, they hate that.

Yeah, definitely. I remember a while back I really got the itch to engage a black Camaro SS that I was cruising next to... but something told me no. Then we came up on a fender bender and BAM, his lights come on and he stops to help. Unmarked car!

We confiscate some of them in drug busts but a lot of them we just buy. I believe Loudon County and Fairfax County are the two richest counties in the US, and it shows. Pretty soon our cops will be chauferred around in Rolls Royces.

Mostly trucks down this way...the big 2500HDs love to try an spew diesel fumes all over me. If I dont take off like a rocket at the light they are punching. I ll admit I have pretty bad road rage, but Im not stupid enough to get into that.

I get a lot of looky lous that just want to see what kind of car it is. All of our civics and what not down here are mostly just lowered with a tin can on them and covered in primer. I think I have only heard one blow off valve the whole time Ive been in this town.

I had it worse when I was on my bike, I mean every car wanted to race it seemed.

I was wondering if I was alone dealing with the trucks. I can pull up next to a vette, stang, beamer, etc and everything is cool. Nobody's manhood is being questioned. However, at least once a week, I encounter a jackass in a pickup truck that wants to race, cut me off, ride my tail or find another way to suck at life. It also seems to be the case that the bigger the truck, the bigger the douche.

Ain't Skeered, No Fear, Piss on Chevy, #3, Size Matters - Keep it Classy, Rednecks! Polish those truck nuts.

If you've played Need for Speed Hot Pursuit for PS3/Xbox, you know what those counties are going to be rolling with. They are going to have Lamborghinis, Bugattis, Koeniggseggs, etc.

Yeah, I spent part of my misspent youth growing up in Fairfax county, my parents still live there. Keep telling them now that they're old (in their 70's) to sell the house and move down here so it'd be easier for me to take care of them should the need arise, and oh yeah, get the hell out of VA and Fairfax co. in particular where the taxes are absolutely insane.
