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. :)

Here's mine. Not really d-baggery but fun none the less. I'm in my 350z and pull up along side of a GTO. We roll off from a red light and about 15-20 mph we both step in it, not super long or super high speed, but he does pull me pretty good. Stop at the next red light, he rolls down his window, looks over at me smiling. I roll down my window and shout out to him...."Man that is the fastest Cavalier I have ever seen!" He is no longer smiling and yells out "It's a GTO". Flips bird and takes off. I just laugh and roll on home.

:happydance:D-bags usually are!!!!!!!.......and usually don't know $hit :shakes head::icon14:

:bowrofl: :bowrofl:

Yeah, CLK500 and the Z shouldn't be a problem. ~305hp and 330 lb-ft stock and the weigh about 3550 lbs. The AMG package on the CLK500s is only the wheels and body kit so that doesn't really add anything to performance. With the 5spd auto it was a high 13 second car (with a few dipping into the mid 13s), and with the 7 speed it was a tad quicker.

Stock for stock a 370 would win unless the driver messed up.

I used to drive my ex's all the time. It's a sleeper to people that don't really know any better (ricers).

On the whole I have had far fewer people mess with me in the Mustang than the Z. I think most people figured they could beat the Z than the 5.0. I still have the same tools in Scions and Civic Sis trying to get me to run as I did in the Z. Although I am starting to think those kids really just want to see the car go. They have to be idiots if they think they're fart-canned girly car can keep with a 370 or a 5.0.

I did have to teach a 911 Carerra S driver a lesson on the track the other weekend, though. :tup:

:icon18:

Speaking of which, the other day I had some dude in a beat *** baby blue Mitsubishi Eclipse keep driving like an douche around me trying to get me to race him. Eventually he realized I wasn't going to race him and took his crappy car with its paint can muffler elsewhere.

I used to get punks in STis/Evos like that all the time. They'd goose it over and over and over trying to get you to bite. Eventually they'd take off with their flashers on. :shakes head:

well, I was riding home on my r1 from school on a nice day and this guy in a Honda prelude pulls up to me and started revving his engine at the light. Man was it annoying it had that fart can sound and a very ugly bodykit but the next thing I noticed the guy almost stalled out trying to launch so my nice day turned to a very nice day.

I did this last weekend too!! :tup:

I was driving down the street in my IS350 when a mitsubishi lancer does a ricer fly by, slows down and keeps revving his car (which sounded like what I would imagine a hippo ******** on a penguin would sound like.) I disregarded all of his foolish antics because his car was a piece of ****. The next light he tried to be slick and floored it through the turning lane and cut everyone off in the intersection. Shortly after I had caught up again just doing my thing probably listening to some terrible music when pulls up next to me, laughs and does this again! This time this poor idiot side swipped a taxi cab and wrapped his car around a pole.

In the end I wound up being the real douche by stopping to make sure he was ok, following up with a do you have insurance and everything? "No."
"well that sucks, maybe youll learn next time."
I think he got arrested for reckless driving

not a dbag story but a cool one nonetheless, I was driving down the main street in the town on my way to wal mart to pick up some Life cereal goodness and some coax cable when a white S14 pulls alongside me, now at first I was assuming this dude was going to be a ricer doucheface and try to goad me into a street race, but instead gives me a thumbs up, so still driving along and I pull into the parking lot, park and this guy pulls up and parks in the spot to the right of me. First thing he does when he gets out is gawk at my car and tell me how awesome it is and that its the first 5.0 hes seen, I commented about how I appreciate it and that his Sylvia conversion was just as badass, he asked me if he could see the engine and so forth, and said it sounded awesome. Dude made my head feel 10 feet wide.

I always love running into genuine car guys at random. Always cool to stop and talk cars when you least expect it.

A couple months ago I was heading home and two older teens/younger 20's guys in a riced out 240sx pulled up to me at the light. Kept on revving their engine, thinking a race was about to ensue....i look over and notice that one panel was replaced and unpainted, another panel of the car was dented. looks like this guy enjoyed racing and beating up his car at the same time. light turned green and i let him take off. i just happen to know this neighborhood and that just around the bend there are train tracks....train tracks that have a pretty sick dip. a dip that all cars will slow down to 5-10mph for, a dip that even trucks and suv's will slow down for. these guys obviously weren't from the neighborhood.
next thing i know, i see them hit the dip hard...they were probably going 50-60mph at this point and attempted to try and brake the second they realized what they were about to do, but you hear the front end scrape and sparks come from the back of their fart can muffler. i pull up to them at the next light, trying not to bust out laughing, but i do turn my head and smile a bit...they were not happy campers.
