lol, i dont consider myself an old fart being only 29, but i remember the chevy vega only because my mom owned an AMC gremlin and it was one of the vega's competitors. also i got my hand smashed in the gremlins door one time and had my fingernail fall off from it.

And meanwhile, on the GTI forum...

'So I was driving my GTI on this back road near my house and this CRAZY guy in a 370Z was tailgating me. I eased away from him, but he was still right on my bumper, so I gunned it. I was trying to dial 911 at the same time and lost it. I'm glad he kept going on past me - he probably had a gun or something - pretty sure he was drunk. By the time the Police got there, he was long gone. Really feared for my life. Not sure what I did to tick him off so badly. I've heard a lot of unstable people by 370z's.'

Vega's, OMG. LMAO My wife had one when we was dating way back. It was check the gas gauge, and fill the oil. For that thing burned more oil then gas. It looked like a crop duster going down the road.

I go with this story only because im a 370z driver.

I was behind a GTO 5.7 yesterday at a left turn light. He was sitting in front of me revving & jumping it. I was 2 miles away from the dealership & just got my oil changed, so no way I was going to get on it before I made sure everything was ok.

So the light turns & he guns it. Gets about halfway through the intersection and realizes he's way too fast to make the turn. Slams on the brakes & goes sideways in the gravel, off the brakes, car catches & is now going to the right instead of the left. Comes to a stop & tries to flip it around 180* (y'know...cause that's how they do it in the movies). Car won't break the *** end loose and now he's in a big arc, off the road, onto the shoulder - but at least headed the right direction. Finally gets back on the road and continues on.

All this time I'm sitting about 1/4 of the way through the intersection watching this extreme lesson in how to drive like an idiot. And all the people sitting waiting to go the other direction are watching it too (4 lane divided highway). I'm guessin' he was glad he had tinted windows. I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes.

I'm soooo glad he schooled me in how great his car (and his driving) are...

I get this sometimes but not as harsh as you, there was a camaro once with a dude older than me, flying down the highway trying to catch up to me and started to tailgate me. I thought sometimes you just have to teach people to back off, and sped off leaving him struggling trying to keep up. he stopped after that :P
