So I have had my Z for a little over a week now and I noticed that not all the attention it gets is good attention.
Here is a story from last night.
Im driving about 60 in the right hand lane trying to get my Sirius to the channels I like and all of a sudden there is a VW GTI up my ***. I slow down hoping they will just pass me and then they pull up next to me and start to get real close to my car coming into my lane, then proceed to go as fast as they can and cut me off as if we were racing, nearly side swiping my car. I put the brights on (which I must say are quite impressive) and then the idiot empties their entire windshield wiper fluid hoping to I guess saturate me in glass cleaner to piss me off. This is the third time in a week some kid in a civic/gti/sentra has tried to pretend we are racing when really I am just minding my own business and enjoying my ride. Nearly getting hit or having people speed around and towards me because of the car has been only unwanted attention I have gotten. The compliments have far outweighed the bad but its still annoying. In New York also everyone is about 500% more tough behind the wheel of their car so they become even more aggressive. To make it even funnier the driver of the GTI was a guy but his license plate was 'VW GIRRRL', go figure, I guess his girlfriend is the breadwinner. Hell im all for people liking the car, wanting to check it out, if you asked me nicely id even offer you a ride in it, but I just wish these kids in their ricer mobiles would stop trying to instigate a race out of me on the damn highway.

Thanks for listening to me vent, but its been driving me crazy all day!

The only way Civic/GTI drivers win races is if the other participant, Isn't participating. They 'speed' past you in the slow lane and then go to their 'br0s' and talk about how they smoked you.

Retards, and not the funny kind either...

Get license plates that say FWD SUX. You win without ever hitting the accelerator with the message alone.

Yea had a little douchebag mess with me last Saturday. I was rolling up to the Nissan dealership with a friend to check out the GT-R Black Edition that was rumored of being there. Well I accelerated normally from the light just before the dealership and wasnt paying much attention to others around me and as I was getting into the turning lane to turn into the dealership this punk in a honda swerved around me or just for the hell of it tried to cut me off. Jokes on him I was slowing down to turn . But yea I would of followed that POS to where he lived or decided to pull over to have a chat with him if I was heading straight down the road when he pulled that stunt. I haven't had any issues out of the Mustangs or Camaros in the area it seems to be only punk kids in the Hondas that feel they have something to prove

anyone have a bolt on miata with crazy offset wheels with a lot of camber do a ricer fly-by on them.... I did and laughed. I have had these things happen to me quite a few time, the wife and I literally shake our heads and laugh. I keep driving and they look like a douche, I also have had a mustang and new camaro do it. It was hard to resist the camaro but I kept minding my own business

A few weeks after I bought my Z, a dude in a Mazdaspeed3 tried to race me at a light RIGHT IN FRONT OF A POLICE STATION.



Just don't give them the time of day. They won't pay your speeding ticket, your racing ticket, or for you to get your car out of impound.

that sucks to hear. What part of NYC are you driving around? I rarely see people do that to me at all. Then again, I did 98% of my driving on local residential streets, so you can't really do much anyway lol.

You should have called 911 on that jerk. Wreckless driving like that should be reported. You had his/her plate...could've been stolen, drunk, high, drugs in the car.

Sorry this happened to you. But next time you should vent to the police. You could have been wrecked, hurt, killed had that guy lost control while he was acting like an asshat. Still you did nothing. You're not the only motorist...he'll do it again to somebody else. So report it.

My first test drive in a used 370Z, not even a 1/4 from the stealership I had a mustang flex is motor muscle at me. The Z had a huge PRE OWNED CERTIFIED sticker on the front windshield. I just shook my head, and it kinda made me think twice about getting another sports car. I hate it when riceheads think they got to strut their stuff.

I had a guy in an integra cutting people off, cutting in and out of lanes downs the highway... I waited til he got next to me and took off and left him there with nothing to do but slam his tiny brakes on his 10 inch rotors.

Im part of the group who ignores these characters, but I watched him cut off my girlfriend in her DD cavalier in my rear view, thats a huge no no in my book
