Why flip me off?

06WRXsti · 01-04-2010, 12:29 PM

So I was up in portland OR to see a trail blazers game. I drive a 2006 wrx sti as my daily driver and on the way back I ran into a few wrx's and a we were "racing" around on I-5 and a yellow 370z pulls up. I get all excited because I actually own a restored 1972 240z and am working on a 260z. So we race around a bit. He beats me by about 3 car lengths and a little farther down we run into some traffic and we are almost completely stopped and I roll down my window to tell the guy nice car and that I have a 240z and he rolls down his window flips me off and says F YOU. and pulls off at the next exit..... I was like...... oooooook. Just felt like venting.

Well, first...it could have been the racing part...

Current running for top three in my view:
~BMW
~Camaro
~Mustang
With the rebirth of the Camaro they are coming out in 100s now, but it is hard to catch up to the BMW crowd, maybe in a few years.

True, but there are so few of them, I would put them in the top 10 probably.

kenchan · 01-04-2010, 01:06 PM

huh... that is odd why he flipped you off and said f-you.

The problem with some folk is their attitude. Regardless of what you say or do, those sourpusses will invariably blast you. I'm very resilient to people like that, and always respond with a super sense of humor that blows them away!

To the OP, I've had several occasions where I was just cruisin along, minding my own business when some douche in a Evo, STI, Civic, pulls up alongside me chirpin their BOV at me, basically antagonizing me into a race, and that pisses me off quite honestly, so I dunno, maybe you ruffled his feathers a bit. By far, the most immature crowd i've seen on the streets have been EVO and STI drivers, thats not directed necessarily at you, but they seem to attract immature fanboys. Well them and Mustang/Camaro drivers.
