His bone stock g tailgates me while im doing 35 does like 2-3 flybys and stares me down at every light as he revs his stock exhaust note. For fun trying to meet on a "car guy" terms I rev the FI CBE and smile and give a wave and he gives me a dirty look. He peels out screaming tires to another red light literally 20 ft ahead. He was so busy looking back at what I was doing he forgot to look ahead and smashed into a shopping cart which had rolled into the street. Karma, maybe, I dont know but I giggled because no one was hurt and just some paint work was needed and maybe a lesson learned if he is not too retarded.
I go a little further away from home and of course I get to meet Mr A5 living in long island. He tailgates me and then proceeds to pull up next to me and give me the finger. I guess I was going to slow in a fast car and what the hell... I laughed at him because his bluetooth was dangling like a gay pirates earring as he yelled towards my car. I had the windows up and tunes up so I dont know what he was so mad about.
This cycle repeats for 15 minutes or so every light I run into someone who either wants to race, tailgate me or flyby me. I turn around and go home.
Put it this way some days I get amazing enthusiast attention and some days every immature moron is in their car trying to goad you into a race.
Haters gonna hate, I still love my z at 35 mph or 100 mph...
Vent completed.

Going slow or at least going the speed limit can send more of a message than the need to prove who's car is faster. You had nothing to prove, evidently he did. He was pissed because you didn't give in to him trying to bait you to race him. Good for you! I got baited once by some guy in a Mustang GT and that won't ever happen again. Think of all the bad things that could have happened. At the worst, an accident...possibly fatal at high speed, a speeding ticket, hitting another car or person, breaking something in your car...the list goes on. At the very best, a short term feeling that your car is a little faster than some strangers. Anyway, I would rather be in a 370Z going 35 mph than in a g37 going 100. In my opinion, there's nothing more satisfying than knowing you're better/faster/more mature (pick one) without having to prove it.
