Happy to me this morning on my way to work! Some idiot decided to blow pass me in a trail blazer and pretty much cut me off/cornered me into the parked cars next to me for no apparent reason. Mind u this was at 6:30am on a Sunday morning! Thank god for my good brakes I had to literally slam on my breaks to avoid hitting him/ the parked cars next to me. Great start to my shift

morning times are the times all the grouchy coffee drinkers are on the road, seems the trail blazer didnt get his/her caffeine.

I live in Bumblescum, PA and where I'm at it's the hill billies in their '98 Rams everywhere. (Also a healthy number of late 90s Z28s and Integras.) I'll be rolling to work at 70mph in a 55 zone, and they're all over my arse. Most of the time I just stick the needle at 70 and stay there. If they need to blow some diesel fumes and pass me to feel manly, so be it. I'll just enjoy my ride to work and my superior hygiene habits...

One time I did c*ck block a tow truck. Single lane road, I was going ten over, as was the five-car line ahead of me, and he was ALL over me. He tried to pass me twice and I wouldn't let him. Probably not the smartest thing to do, but he was pissing me off. Eventually he passed the entire five car line, including a tractor trailer, going over a hill. Good move. I actually debated chasing him down and getting his plate/company complaint number, but I was about a half mile from home, so I went home and watched Sons of Anarchy.

The one good thing about having test pipes, is anybody that wants to ride my a** has to marinate in my carbon monoxide lol. I'm surprised I haven't had a tailgater pass out yet

and way to bring this thread back! +1

Here something that get's me all jacked up! It's when I come to an intersection with a red light or stop sign, and I want to make right hand turn, the jack wagon (usually the dude in the I got a bad a$$ truck) in the left turn or go straight lane will pull forward just enough so I can't see the oncoming traffic. So I get to wait for the light or his lame #$% to move on first.

Happens to me in my Civic and C300 Sport (wanna talk about a car that affects how people drive around you, rent a Merc for a day). I think it's just lack of common courtesy or common sense. I feel for ya!

Definitely not alone! Seems like everyone and their brother wanna drag race. N the Z definitely demands the attention from the "boys in blue". I was pulled over once just because a state trooper wanted to know what type of car it was! The thing that happens most often to me is morons trying to cut me off because I'm driving a few mph faster than them, or they'll try n speed up when I attempt to pass them.

Mecinoid · 12-08-2012, 02:43 AM

This happens to me all the time. It doesn't matter what car I'm driving. The Vette, Z, Supercharged Firebird, Jeep or Volt. People are just in too much of a hurry. I like to slow down and look around while I drive. Especially now during the holidays being that many people just like run that red lights because they don't want to wait.

What are you going to do? I just let them go on up the road and get in their accident or pass them at the light. I love it when that happens especially when I'm in the Volt. BTW the Volt is no slacker with 250ft lbs of torque. I just rarely use in battery mode. In elect/gas mode I'll put her in L Sport mode and blast away from lights just to show people Volt have something under the hood. ;-) Maybe Childish.... but, hella fun.

Oh yeah, it always cracks me up win a SUV wants to try to beat me. I just let them go because if I get in front of them and I have to hit my brakes there is now way they'll stop in time and I'll be the one suffering from the rear ender.

dos_equis · 12-09-2012, 12:06 AM

Can I go anywhere without someone trying to race me or show me up? A ford explorer, yeah you read that right, try to keep me from passing him on a two lane entrance ramp. A boxy looking SUV tried to keep me from moving over to the inside lane. A duramax wanted to show off how cool he was by coming up on my a$$ on the interstate. I tapped the brakes to get him off of me. Well it piss this douche bag off and he cut off a couple of cars to get around in front of me....This all happened within the past two hours. The gf was pissed at my irresponsibility with the speed but she was impressed with the way the nismo handled.

ford explorer, end of story atleast it wasnt a minivan.

Calm down everyone, the Z is a nice car but it's not an exotic supercar. I find it hard to believe that everyone is so jealous and envious of a $30k car
