Nice weather, aggravated cruise

Amj2020

Its beautiful out and I took the Z out of its garage for a cruise. All the streets here are tight and are awful for speeding so I never do it around here too many kids popping out into the street and people crossing regardless of traffic. Of course as soon as I hit the main street I run into my first 20 something g37 owner. I realize this does not generalize to all g37 owners so compartmentalize this sentiment.

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.

Sounds like quite the adventure. I hear about this kind of thing happening but where I live, I have got nothing but compliments. Though I did drive by a group of skater kids hanging out at the movie theater. I got some whistling but one decided to throw up the L over his forehead. I just laughed to myself and thought about how much he must love riding that wood. But seriously mostly stares of envy and compliments.

Some of you guys must live in retardville, that never happens to me, however once i tried to 'keep it real' iwth some kids in a 350 and all i got was a chukkle, i guess i'm too old to try to relate.

JungleZ

welcome to my world, Here in southern california everyone and their mom will try and race you. Ive definitely had some G37 Dbags try and get crazy with me.

Oh, Im well aware I live in retardville...the land of status symbols and dirty looks

Funny, just had a similar experience this afternoon with another middle aged kid in his bright red sport model C-class Mercedes. I just tried to get away from him by slipping in and out of traffic at slightly over the limit, and he just kept following me like a yellow lab. Every light, he'd do his best to pull up close, and I just continued to ignore him. For what it's worth, it seems worse in this car than it was in my Z06 or Viper. I guess they think they have chance now...

Am I the only one who questions what the OP was doing that may have contributed to the significant numer of angry people?

I have had people want to race, but almost never had anyone give the finger for "no reason"

i usually pull my Z out before most folks are on the road. makes for a calm and smooth driving experience. only thing that sounds angry at times is my exhaust.

It's completely pointless to even bother opening it up in the city. We have way too many lights and traffic around here, not to mention roads are all grid. I'll play on the backroads, but interstates and urban areas, accelerate slow and stick to no more than 5-10 over the limit.

Btw, I'm a g37 driver

That's so ironic that you said this about the bright red C-Class. I kid you not, a young guy wanted to race me yesterday in his bright red C-Class...naturally I gave him a little show from the light but he was cool about it- said he loved the car and thumbs up... No doucheness this time.

apparently you are...but either way, come live on long island and see for yourself...everyones in competition here to see who has more or is better even if you're not competing.

Amj2020

At first the prius got the local kids to cheer and say stupid things like thanks for saving the environment. Now it just flies under the radar:P

wow. I never get any of that here in OC. Drivers will give me thumbs up, shout compliments, even rev their non-sport car engines just for laughs.
