Yes, the "I drive 25" crowd is getting out of control.

Its not that I oppose driving slow through the neighborhood - that's actually all I do - but its those women that come out in the street and make a huge deal out of it in front of all their buddies blocking the road. One day - as I am driving - a woman charged up and yelled right in my window (which was down). I was probably going about 15 mph - there's no room to go faster - it was completely out of line by her so I flipped her off, and that was so much fun I just keep doing it. My wife says my neighbors are going to hate me. I say being liked by your neighbors is overrated. hahaha

Although the neighborhood is definitely a slow zone I am loving that new road right across the entrance!

Tell Juno I said hello.

I'm with you, I always drive 25, sometimes even a bit slower when there's cars parked on both sides of the neighborhood roads (really can't go faster than that even if I wanted to). I've gotten a couple of looks from folks. I love when the people jogging or walking their dog and kiddie strollers in the street (NOT on the sidewalk) give me the dirty looks cause i don't go crawling by them at 10 mph and get out of their way. Some folks have absolutely no common courtesy/common sense etc anymore.

Hey, as far as i'm concerned, if your neighbors are acting like that, they can go **** themsleves, why'd you want to be friends with them anyway?? We're lucky in that all our immediate neighbors are either pretty cool or keep to themselves so I can't complain.

I tip my hat to you sir for having the self control not to donkey punch that woman who charged up to your car yelling at you. I don't honestly know what I would have done but I hope I would handle it as well as you did. I have anger issues.

Anyway, if we get some more Z's in the neighborhood we could have our own little Z car getogether.

I got yelled at today by some Pakistani woman through my open window because I was crawling around 10 mph through a neighborhood and her damn kid ran in the middle of the road as I approached...yeah

I have had more people cut me off and do crazy things near my Z in the 2k miles I've driven it than in the last 10 years I've driven my GMC Envoy.

I have not had any of the things described here happen to me... maybe it is happening and I just don't notice it

Hambone1 · 04-21-2011, 12:22 AM

I did have a Corolla S try to stoplight race me earlier today lol

hdskull · 04-21-2011, 02:04 AM

A cop at a scene of an accident came up to me while I was stopped at a red light to turn right.

"Yes sir?"
"I want you to... slow down"
"Um.. Okay, sure" (I'm not moving...)
"Thank you, go on speed racer!"

LOL

LOL I got pulled over the other day to be asked what year was my car and what mods I had since I have a non-res cbe. Totally weird...

I was stopped by a NCSHP for passing on the right because the car in the fast lane was doing 35 in a 45. after i got pulled and he gave me a warning he asked me to pop the hood. him and a sheriff came by and looked at my car but i think it was more to check it out than to look for illegal mods. first thing out of his mouth was "nice car" when he pulled me.

I had a cop pull me over and as I got out of the car, he asked me if I had any bazookas or grenades on me.

"Thankfully I left them all at home" was my response...

I had a sort-of related incident once. I was way out of town in a rural area, and a friend was in the car with me. We were headed a few miles down the road to another guy's land where he had a little berm and some targets set up as a makeshift shooting range, and between us we had a veritable arsenal laying out in the trunk of the car under a blanket (4 different handguns, two assault rifles, a shotgun, and enough ammo to keep us busy at the range for an hour or so).

Local county deputy pulled me over for speeding (was like 57 in a 45 on a deserted country road

). When he asked for my license and insurance, he said "Do you have any weapons in the car?", and I responded, "Yes, several", and he just smiled and left it at that and ended up giving me a warning.

I didn't tailgate her as to avoid chips. I guess some people just have to make everyone else's life shitty because theirs is too.

sounds like you did something earlier to piss her off and you have no idea what happened...just saying...

negative, i've never seen this car before. i got to the round about a second after her. i think most of "those" people are always in a bad mood. on another note, all the old people in the world are completely stumped by how to use a traffic circle. it is an alien pattern to them and might cause one to have a stroke/heart attack, approach with caution.
