Maybe it's just the demographics here (western WA). See in my experience, some people who drive the Scion tC's, Civics/Si's, etc think they have a rocket ship with wheels attached, or are so uninformed about cars that they think theirs is actually faster. They are the the root cause of the running jokes regarding V-TEC stickers adding 50 bhp per sticker and such

I get a lot of people breaking their necks trying to get a look at the Z or I see them looking in their side and rear view mirrors all the time to get a look.

Yah, I got smoked by a honda Odyssey. Lol

Happens to me all of the time! BTW I'm 50 years old so you are not alone. The funny thing is how many cars try and challange me and wouldn't have any chance at all.

The only car that I ever had rev on me, was an idiot kid in one of those cheap Kia Forte coupes. Man those things are ugly.

i was driving to work the other day, im about 75 yards from the exit to get on the highway and im looking in my rearview mirror and a girl about 17 years old in a beat up gold corolla passed me from behind and gets up right beside me (we both make eye contact for like a second or two) and gives me the "im gonna beat you to the exit stare" so she guns it like she's Danica Patrick coming to the finish line and the poor corolla barely makes it to the exit when her engine blows! hahaha she's on the shoulder now. i just got on the exit like normal and i looked at her and gave her the "SUCKS look" and went to work.

it was a god day, maybe she should have had a better car...:tiphat:

This was years ago, with my first 350z. I was at a red light when a guy in a brand new (still had dealer tags) Mustang pulls up next to me and starts to rev his engine. I don't race on the roads, so I just ignored it. The light turned green and he took off. A couple minutes later I catch up to him at another red light and he had his hood up with all kinds of smoke coming out from the engine. When the light turned green I pulled away like normal. I still get a laugh thinking about it.

I bet she was 18. ;)

:icon18: now that's some funny right there!

Yup, happens all the time to me. It probably doesn't help that I love in Daytona Beach. :ugh2: BMW 135s, Mitsubishi 3000GTs and Hondas all try their hand at getting off the line down International Speedway Blvd. and I just kenchan on like I didnt even notice!:tup:

Boss 302 Mustang at a red light was trying to line up with me for miles and finally did. His significant other was in the passenger seat. He peeled his wheels and took off - I rolled away with the rest of traffic. They pulled into a Marshall's parking lot just 100 yards up the road probably because she was pissed :D

lol. When i was young and dumb (just dumb now) I had a 3 cly firefly. I would try and race anyone.

It could just be NY drivers are d-bags, but people who drive "ricey" cars always seem to cut me off or want to cut me off while driving on the freeway. I'm not driving "slow" mind you. This use to piss me off, but now I just let it go. Its not worth the trouble. Sometimes I get the opposite reaction with people rolling down their window and asking about the car in the middle of traffic.

Also, is it just me or are fat chicks aggressive drivers. I swear, everytime I see a chick doing 90 in the right lane, she's almost always the same size as her car (usually a compact car or small SUV).

I rarely ever have anyone trying to get a race going, even ricey drivers. Maybe seeing a younger person driving doesn't beckon hooligans who want to "go." I had more people trying to race when I had my modified Saab haha, that car definitely would catch some people by surprise.

I actually had a guy and his wife, both in their late fifties pull up next to me the other day. They were in an SL65 V12 biturbo. Light turned green and I got off the line a little spiritedly. I guess the old guy was upset I was ahead of him, I heard those turbos spool and he shot past like I was standing still. Funny a guy in a ~$150k car with 600hp felt he had to prove something. I'm not complaining though I love it when people drive cars like they were designed.

one day i was cruising on the highway, so i went too far decided to take and exit and twist around, where i pulled up next to a red Corvet on a red light. opened my pass. window to say "Hey man that's a nice ride u got there" and gave him a thumbs up:tup: he looked at my car then at me and drove off not saying anything. "..ok... well f**k u, ill burn ur piece of sh!t anyday u hear???"
I dont think he heard me:p
