Amen Pauly..That is what the Track is For..

I have done some things in my day that I am lucky nothing happened..And Now at 52, I just cannot take the chance.Way too much to lose...So I lose every street race because i don't race...Much less fun than years ago, but just the way it is...

psh here in Tampa I get that daily. Bunch of ricers with there loud as hell "fart" cannons, and mixed matched painted hoods and doors.

Like Amj2020 says.. just follow them and be a **** that way. LOL

seriously though, its an incredible annoyance.

Speaking of which... someone scratched the hell out of my car above the gas tank... I gotta make a thread about that, to find out what shop will fix it...

I had something similar happen to me this morning, with some D-Bag (Long Island variety) up my *** in his newer audi S4, as soon as I pulled out of my street. I slow down over the train tracks so I don't bottom out, he is waving his arms around like cursing at me right on my bumper pretty much... These are one lane roads... So i just slowly slowed down to a near stop, the guy was trapped and went nuts at me, I ended up antagonizing him enough for him to attempt to go in the other direction lane attempt to pass me, yet there was another car coming so he changed his mind... The guy then comes back and starts taking pictures of my car, like I'm on his sh1t list now. He is holding his camera up trying to snap pictures, and fuming.

sounds like a similar situation i had a few weeks ago. going down a 2 lane road (one lane each way) with speed bumps, and some guy in a SUV is riding my ***. im slowing down for the speed bumps so i dont bottom out, which was apparently unacceptable to the guy driving the SUV. he starts going apeshit honking at me. perhaps he thought i was brake-checking him? i wasnt (intentionally at least, the brakes are pretty good!), either way it wouldn't have been an issue if he wasn't riding my ***! next thing i know he is trying to pass me over the double yellow line, so i causally press the gas pedal in 5th and he can't pass. not sure where he was going to go anyway since there was another car going the same speed as me about 10 car lengths ahead. once he stopped trying to pass me (due to oncoming traffic and a sharp curve in the road) he just lays on his horn for a good minute or so while riding my ***. then he's stuck at a red light behind me and a half dozen cars for a few minutes, while i wonder what all the fuss was about.

I usually keep some bricks in my car. When someone tailgates me, open my window and launch two bricks into their car. I also keep a can of paint in my car. I usually just pop the top and fling that out the window also. Last thing I keep in my car is a dozen eggs. I usually only throw 3 if I'm in a good mood.

Cornball in a nazi-rocket. Never fails. You shoulda followed him home and fed him the camphone.

I won't do it in the Wife's 370Z, But when someone Tailgates the 1971 Z/28, If the coast is clear and no 5.0, at the next stop, I do a 3500 rpm clutch dump and spit raw Tar on their car.....The last time i did it in the Daylight, the Guy came through the smoke with his high beams on....He was very mad that I stuck roadway parts into his paint...Must of sounded like a hailstorm.. Moral is don't tailgate..I love dumping the Clutch.....

Thanks...I have two driving style's...Race mode, and cruise..If I am cruising, I just get out of people's way. I will move over...But when they just ride as close as they can ? In the F150, I don't even look, there is 6600 Pounds and 8 feet of metal between them and me..I do not hog the Fast lane ever..

In the 370Z ? Kinda scary when a 500 Dollar car that you know is NOT insured is riding your Rear....But I am 52 now, so I deal with things different..Again, if I am not in race mode, I will just move over...Even if I am in the center lane. I move

But yes, In the Z/28 don't ride the bumper....Hell, I am down for a race in a remote area, or on the track...Hell, I may even lose... But we are not talking about Cool racer type Guys..The tailgaters get Tar Blasted....The car will rip up the roadway...

We are talking about hateful, angry people...If they want to race in the proper setting, Right on, sounds like fun..Win or Lose...We can have some fun.

But I know your guys craziness...The 370Z says tailgate me...And it won't take a rear end hit nicely...And usually it is a beater car behind you..

And I never Brake check ever...Clutch dump ? oh ya...

You know how soft hot tar can get, hahahaha

I'm not trying to get into physical confrontation, but these people are truly haters, I can't have someone riding up my ***, what am I going to do, speed up to please this jerk..

I mean this guy doesn't respect me, never will met me, and feels brave enough to nearly run me off the road because he wants to get to work faster, and he is driving a nice car too, a new freaking S4. You may think he can appreciate the fact i need to roll over a freaking railroad. Sticking his finger at me, and taking pictures of me to try and antagonize me LOL. He must of been in his 50's, I'm a 31 year old guy, so people never grow up.

I'm glad bucketlist got even with some of these people, and really it's a shame that some people aren't mature enough to share a public infrastructure

He's 50? You shoulda stuck a bottle of geritol up his azz and kicked it up into his esophogus. Lol. He never grew up, so you beat em' like he's a 20 year old who touched your girl inappropriately.

ShinyBlueZ · 04-12-2012, 03:31 PM

lol dude at least you're getting Civics and VWs.

I'm not even kidding.. 5 or 6 times (in 3 weeks) now I've have guys young and old beside me in DODGE CARAVANS and GMC Safaris staring at my car.. then when the light turns they floor it, proving to me that their huge family wagon is every bit as fast.

Most people out there are retarded. I never pulled up next to 350s when I had my Civic and took off at green lights.. cuz I knew if they actually floored it they'd leave me behind and it'd be super embarrassing haha

juicypinkkk · 04-12-2012, 06:07 PM

^_^ I can imagine i will only get challenges from stangs and BMW's and Benz's in my area... pretty sure the 4 bangers (excluding the EVO's and STI's) know whats up =p. In my Si, I got tons of this stuff. I just laugh it off.

Lemers · 04-12-2012, 07:41 PM

Some genesis tried to goat me into a race. I just drove my drive.
