You had me at "Florida driver."

“Driver” being a relative term... :rofl2:

Ghostvette, glad to hear it's not just on this side of the state (not sure that came out right). When I was still a high school teacher, I put pictures of Porsches, Ferraris, Mercedes Ag, Nissan Skylines, Lambos, Jaguars, all manner of Z's and 40 years Formula 1 cars on a wall board. Thought the young guys would like them. Nope. We're confused what they were, called them "Tuners," (a Porsche 911 GT3, a tuner?) and some kids admitted whenever their dads, yes, their dads, saw a "Jap" sports car or "ricer," their words, not mine, they drive their Chevy and Ford pickups right up on their bumpers to intimidate them. Not just a few either.

I'm totally fine with them tailgating me in traffic. It puts them into a position where they don't have space to go around me; I now control them as I slow down to a speed where adjacent lanes are going too fast to cut into. Am I an ******* and maybe making traffic worse? Sure. Do I enjoy helping them lie in the bed they made? You bet.

Mind you, I don't left lane camp or anything. I'm the least aggressive driver. They could easily have just driven by, but they just have to display their machismo.

Don't get me started on their light bars or how every ******* jeep has those ebay led headlights now that blind everyone.

I've had some of my more redneck acquaintances brag about their lights and they'll blind someone that's in their way. So I mentioned that I'd just slow down, seeing how then I'd be blind. Their thought was well then they'll just ram me off the road. Sure, okay. I really don't understand that mindset.

That light **** has gotten to the point where I'm seriously considering installing a very, very HID strobe light facing rear and aimed ab SUV windshield height.

Wasn't the person behind you with their brights on a target of George Carlin in one of his bits? Something like he has his brights on just in case I wanted to read. Got my copy of War And Peace here.

They keep those brights on and I'll skip the "Peace" part and go straight to war.

Yup, I've done it too. I was already speeding(50 in a 35) and some dude flew up on me, right on my bumper and just stayed there. I sped up a little bit just to make room and then settled back at 50, and he took it up, so I just held my speed. Saw him start throwing his hands up getting frustrated, so I pulled the car to neutral, tapped my brakes just enough for him to see the brake lights, and we coasted down to 20mph for the last couple miles to the redlight where we went our separate ways. There's no telling how many names he made up to call me.

Tinted windows, get it done.

:iagree: 5% all the way around

But, but, but then I wouldn't have a reason to install God's Flashbulb in my rear bumper!

That's a negative. Too dark for nighttime driving.

Iteresting the use of the word "ricer" in reference to "jap" cars if I understand your post correctly. I guess I can understand the connection however, that is not what "ricer" refers to. RICE is an acronym fo Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement. So yes you can RICE out a mustang, just add a crazy large spoiler, outragous splitter up front, some off center stipes and you have a ricer. It does nothing to make the car perform better. I'm sure you guys are aware of this however, it makes me chukle when I see the words used interchangeably.

And here I was thinking it was bc our cars are Japanese and they eat a lot of rice.
