In my town people always use both arms to give me the SLOW DOWN signal while cursing at me despite the fact im doing about 20 mph. With the FI CBE and the way the car looks it sounds and looks fast even at a standstill to these soccer moms and uptight dads. Very annoying. Forget about a downshift they would poop and try to hang me.

I'm gonna clock the minivans and mid-size sedans that blow through my neigbourhood on the regular, all while their drivers are on the phone/eating their breakfast/putting on their makeup/fiddling with their kids. Then we'll see!

This morning, behind a GTI driver whose license plate said G3NIU5 (should have read SOCIALLY INEPT instead), I was turning right behind him and goosed it a bit for a little sidewayZ action. I think he got mad (I wasn't even close to him) because he slowed down significantly for the freeway on ramp. The lane splits to go two different directions, and despite me being all the way to the right, clearly indicating that I'm going that direction, he sat right in the middle, before jerking to the left at the last second. I could hear his car straining to accelerate as I blew by him in 2nd gear without even trying

Every person I pass no matter if they are just going slow or even with cruise control on will do everything they can to catch up to or pace me. Very annoying. Most of the time I'm just trying to pass to get back over in the right is e because there is always someone trying to pass even me. I always seem to wind up boxed in between a bunch of retards regardless.
Last night coming over the bridge and about to hit the tunnel this guy in a pathfinder decided to pass me at the last possible moment as the lanes were merging into one before the tunnel. Wound up kicking up rocks from the shoulder and all just to be ahead of me. He got about 8-10 car lengths ahead of me and never got any further. That kind of crap really irritates me. "Lead car syndrome" I guess. My rage almost got the best of me too. No bueno. |

Yesterday evening, I was stopped at a stoplight in the right lane, not even paying attention to what car was next to me. I accelerate normally - quicker than most people, sure, but not even trying. I get up to speed (45 mph) and make a 3rd to 6th shift for cruising. Next thing I know, the Maxima that was apparently next to me at the light comes roaring by at about 60 mph only to slam on their brakes before barely passing me and turning left into a shopping center
I could only assume it was ///PureSwank

Park next to it even though you're a million miles away with 9 million other spots available in the lot.
