Will they ever go away and leave the competition to be settled on the track?

prolly not... but that's cool that your wife is trying to make friends with the SS!:tweetz:

Face it, as long as we have cars as we know them there will always be street racing ...

boxmonkeyracing · 12-12-2010, 09:30 PM

or you could say face it as long as we allow everyone to get a DL we will have dumb drivers.

this is why I'm all for the us going to a driving program like the Netherlands.

Then I hear, LOOK AT THIS JAGHOLE ON MY TAIL! One of those silly little Subaru Imprezas, I checked the mirror and I saw the guy inches from the rear! clooooose to us! Until that moment we were just cruising along looking ahead and this bonehead was racing for his pride to pass us and we didn't even know it. That could have been a real disaster. Will they ever go away and leave the competition to be settled on the track?

Highway driving is not a competitive sport!

I just pull over and let them go by. They hate that. It ruins their fun.

That's pretty much what I do.

I let all the assholes and people in a rush just go right past me. Screw them all.

good idea- i do the same thing. they DEFINITELY don't merit a response. not even taking them the slightest bit seriously is the best reaction.

Those guys are the most desperate drivers in the world. You can be certain they hate being treated as irrelevant.

I used to have a Subaru GL 4WD and a Z28. I was just happy that the GL could make it up a hill at the speed limit! It was my snowmobile for the most part. You gotta have love for those little cars. They do great in the winter. Mine wasn't going to be racing your SS! That's for sure!

Glad the wifey is getting in on the fun too! You might as well get used to those other cars that mess with you though. They aren't going away.
