I had one the other nite, had wing, stickers, butt trumpet, so must have been pushing funny car horsepower. Well on this particular road the local PD is always sitting just up the road bout this time. So I jump a litle from the light then immediatley back down. This tool goes tearing off(reminded me of my lawnmower) and sure enough PD gets him. As I roll by I wave and holler "enjoy your ticket" got the number 1 sign from him in return. Laughed all the way home!!

I had one guy pull up next to me in a big ol chevy truck on the interstate. Passed me once then slowed back down, then got in behind me. I merged into the left lane and he pulled up beside. Dude was giving me the 'spin it up'! motion.... so i gunned it for him, as he obviously just wanted to see what she could do

But yeah, for times like the OP describes, I just crank up the radio to drown them out and the wave buh bye! If they keep harassing you after that, call the cops on their a$$ for reckless driving.

Salesmen must've told them they were buying a racecar.

People who drive Hondas must be gullible, because it seems to me like they all bought that same story

Only 1 in 100 has anything under the hood. Most H-bags buy the standard equipment (fartcan, stereo system, possibly a spoiler and a CF hood, in that order) and think they have a racecar. LA is loaded with these winners. Used to go watch the streetraces in my old neighborhood, was a sight to behold

Sounded alot like this, and went alot slower

I was wondering WTF is wrong with people just last night when I had the $h!t scared outta me. I was riding down the road when all of a sudden I was blinded by a red light. I looked over and there were two teenagers in a Dodge Intrepid that shined a laser pointer directly into my eyes!!

I remember years ago I was in OH for Canfield national show. I was sitting at a redlight and this kid in a riced out civic was first at the light revving his engine just to make noise well he didn't see the guy pulling up behind him in the blown camaro and this guy revs his engine....the ground shakes...the whole car does the torque rock back and forth... this kid looks out his window and then just sits there.... light turned green and he just wimpily pulls away...too da** funny!!!

No way she tried to race you too? That crazy old lady man, I'm not sure what she has under that seat but that thing is FAST!!

Evidently someone forgot to lock up the trailer park.

Probably just a couple of confused guys who saw a re-run of one of the Fast and Furious movies on TV, then got into their Honda, looked at the steering wheel emblem, and said to themselves..."wow, I've got a race car!"

Two ways to deal with that. Best way is to ignore them, since they probably just wanted attention. But if you really can't resist and are on a two lane road, go really slow and step on it every time they get a chance to pass. Since they can't outpower you, they'll eventually get the message.
