As for the kids cutting you off, ever think its because they think your car is GREAT and they want to impress you? Sure, maybe the wrong way to go about it, but what else can you do to get someone's attention?

If anything, I find it more annoying the amount of rednecks with their F-250 diesels or cummins trucks that feel the need to race down the road beside you. However, the situation isn't much different.

Driving an asian car doesn't make you bad, and I get tired of seeing this forum act that way.

Your point to call out trucks totally contradicts everything you said about Asian cars. You targeted rednecks instead of ricers. Then bash everyone who hates to deal with these 17 year olds with a loud muffler who think their car is on fast n the furious. The 46 year old driving a Honda is not the problem. This liberal argument pisses me off condemning us for one thing then you turn around and bash a group you don't like. Typical liberal debate tactics.

Around here I seem to instantly piss off every Audi that sees me. Just yesterday one came flying up on me and was a maybe a foot off my bumper until a second lane opened up. He then proceeded to instantly pass me in the right while trying to stare at me ( 5% limo tints, good luck), then took off. I'll admit sometimes I really wanna put them in their place, which would be 2nd place, but I remind myself they aren't worth it.

If someone is taking time out of thier day to try and make you notice them...... You dont really have to race to win. Because would you have even thought about their rice rocket had they not done that loser fly by or cut off or rev?

It doesn't help that I've already noticed the mismatched ground effects and coffee can exhaust and that when they look over I am laughing at them.

Please practice reading comprehension.

I state the following: If anything, I find it more annoying the amount of rednecks with their F-250 diesels or cummins trucks that feel the need to race down the road beside you. However, the situation isn't much different.

Thus, I say that I'm guilty of it in regards to the trucks but find the whole situation stupid.

And liberal? How does that have anything to do with this? And for the record..i'm a conservative republician ....lol

gajagfan · 08-09-2013, 09:38 AM

This stuff never happens to me....interesting.

Liltuffgirl · 08-09-2013, 09:46 AM

I had a big truck try to race me... Bad part was I had my windows down so he had to see my uniform....

I got a 670 out of 800 for the reading portion of the SAT. Not perfect but much higher than most thanks.

Good to hear you're a conservative. From my experience of having a political debate with a Lib about anything they structure their argument the same way you did in your original post.

Thanks for clarifying that you think the entire situation is stupid. I took it as you were defending Asian car drivers when you said "just because you own a Asian car doesn't mean your bad." You could say the same thing about rednecks who drive F250s. But you said that you find it more annoying the amount of rednecks in their trucks that try to race you. Bashing rednecks than turn around and defend the ricers. Get where I'm coming from?

"Why do I attract so much attention and why do people always want to race me or here me rev my engine"?

Why do people keep buying a fancy muscle car and then complain about the attention that they were craving to begin with?

Apparently you should move from AZ because it obvoisly has a high rate of this if you don't like it!

There is positive attention and negative attention. Coming over and talking cars with someone I've never seen before because he saw my Camaro is cool. Being cut off by some dope who wants to prove how fast his three and a half banger is....well that is most definately not cool, nor do I crave it.
