These two for me

Now if I would've had this car 20 years ago when I was 19 it might be a different story,but I'm a lot wiser and more mature now!

Had a guy pull up next to me and rev his riced out Toyota celica on the way home from the Transformers premire, then raced off like he was hot shit. I just ignore them, most my age (19) always say "why didnt you race him? The camaro would have kicked his ass." This is true, but my answer is always the same. I wont risk getting a ticket of damaging my car to prove something to anyone else. If you want to lose, ill see you on the track, but I wont race this car on the streets. I have the satisfaction of knowing that my car is faster and will win. I am lucky enough to own this car compaired to what most of my friends drive, so like I said, I wont risk anything and act stupid with it.

I usually just try to ignore them and im a pretty calm driver until someone acts like a dick and pisses me off. Ive called HP on a guy in a Mercedes passing people on the shoulder and using on ramps to pass people. Never done it (because its usually too late when i think about it) but ive always wanted to get a description of the driver and report the car stolen...

That's it, right there.

He pulled back up on me a minute or so later, gave me a thumbs up and exited the road...

I had fun, he figured it out, and decided racing wasn't such a good idea...

He decided he didn't want any of it....
i am happy some people here show them whats up.

I don't get too much hassle from pickup trucks for whatever reason,
Today was my day for that. Tundra's are pretty slow, I had to tap the brake lights twice to say "nice try" he was so far back.

This sort of thing happens more often when out in my 4thGen than my 5thGen. But when it does happen I act like they don't exist. I learned my lesson a long time ago and no one had to die for my education.

My car usually sounds too scary to be screwed with. But I handle douchebags differently depending on the situation
