The Douchebaggery Thread!
 

SO this thread is dedicated to those who have received the Douchebag Attitude from other drivers and those of you have given the attitude to others while driving the 370Z!

I'll start

While in the 370, i am at a stop sign waiting for a chance to merge unto the main road, Mercedes CL 500? pulls up on my right, rolls down his window. conversation goes as follows;

Mercedes="How much HP?"

Me="about 320 but it's 280 to the wheels"

Mercedes="i have 530, hahaha"

Me="That's cool bro"

Mercedes proceeds to make a right and do the infamous flyby!

*note* he seemed to be 19? (im in my 20's), oh and he had his girl with him who kept looking over.

i've bee a victim of Douchebaggery....today.

I've been lucky so far in the Z.

The S was another story entirely. I can't even count the number of arguments I had with VW guys that thought the thing was FWD.

A CL500 comes with like 300 hp... guy must have been a real twat.

^yeah i was gonna say, ive beaten a clk-500 with the amg package

well, im not in my 370 anymore, but I came across a rather large amount of the bagness today, I was driving along, minding my own business, enjoying the cool weather we've been having at night lately and I come to a stop light. All of a sudden in my rear view I see Camaro headlights come flying up from behind into the lane next to me, before the guy comes to a stop, he gives his engine a good rev (obviously to be a tool, because unbeknownst to him, you dont need to blip the throttle to shift into neutral). Exhaust was painfully stock which made me chuckle a bit more, so of course, I had to oblige, revved mine to about 5k, Angels sang, Satan screamed, a small child in Ethiopia cried and his smile dropped as fast as his sisters panties on her sweet sixteen. Flawless Victory.

unfortunaley he was right, i googled the mercedes cl 500hp, and that was the car i ran into. Im not mad about being underpowered, i could care less, but just the attitude. But whatever, he must have been intimidated to begin with, im pretty sure his girl said something, which might have pressured him to pull his ego out to save face.

nice! i think the red 370's bring out the toolness in people. lol

If it was a CL600 with the 500+ bhp bi-turbo V12, then it also weights 4900 lb without occupants... so, you'd probably be neck-and-neck since that's pretty much the same power-to-weight ratio as the Z.

Awesome description by red 370 LOL. Great visuals. LOL.

A couple weeks back I'll never forget the black camaro douchebaggery I had to face. It started off normal enough; we were next to each other at a stop light and apparently minding our own business.

When it went green, I accelerated slowly while the camaro took off. I didn't think much of it, because if you want to feel the Gs, by all means. This guy, however, slowed down until I caught up and then gunned it again. When I didn't follow suit, he again eased back and this time rolled down his heavily tinted window to stare me down through his sunglasses (Seriously... Limo tint AND sunglasses?). This time he stayed soemwhat neck and neck with me and would occasionally give it more gas to see if I';d go for it, but I wasn't biting.

When we got to the next light he asked why I didn't want to race. I answered "I'm on my way to the grocery store."

the crazy thing is, I've noticed just as much, if not more, douchebaggery since i've been driving my 5.0 than in my Z, not only do I have to deal with fellow American Muscle dbags, I still have to contend with the honda douchers as well. Ghey.

It wouldn't matter what you said to a guy like that. You could have said you had 700 hp and he'd one up you. You could have countered with "Wow, how much does your dad pay for that?"

Btw, nice touch with the "That's cool bro". :)

careful man lol

Sweet! A Dbag thread! I was driving home from work one night, I noticed headlights coming up from the rear approaching pretty quickly. I moved over to the right lane to let him fly by. It was a 350z with 2 guys probably in their late teens early 20s.

I thought I was done with that experience until they hit their brakes gets even with my car revs it then take off. I didn't bite, since although I enjoy driving a fast car, I really don't like proving that I can go fast. They do this 3 times. The fourth time, the guy in the passenger side flips me off and yell something which I couldn't understand since I had the radio on pretty loud cuz i had my windows down. I just looked at him smiled and gave him a nod then they take off flying again. The only reason I caught up to these fellas was because a cop had pulled them over. As I was passing them, I slowed down, smiled and gave them a nod. :) Ok..I guess I was a douche for that last part but I just couldn't help it. :)

Yeah..there was a reason why I wasn't speeding that night on that stretch of the highway.

Alright. Time for my story. This happened a few years back. It was definitely before the whole 'fast and the furious' crowd hit the streets.

We were out cruising on Saturday night, watching impromptu acceleration contests, checking out cars, etc. We stopped at a light along side a couple imports. We were all talking back and forth checking out each others rides before the light changed when a silver M3 rolled up.

I can't even remember what the driver looked like. I don't think I even looked at him because his car was filled with a mess of babbling blonde heads. They were definitely drunk and they were all talking **** to us. The light turned green and we all took off normally except the M3. They stayed at the light. A few seconds later they roll up hard, the driver revving, and the girls started shouting even more drunken gibberish.

The M3 hits the gas and they take off. As its pulling away I see this drunken blond chick, face half smashed to the glass, holding up the Loser sign with her right hand to her forehead.

True story. :)
