sir, that is totally overreacting. A car is simply a material possession, and even implying that you might cause another bodily harm due to repairable damage to your vehicle is despicable.

in before people that don't get the reference

LMAO, you are so right Dan; hey whatever happened to that punk who threw a rock at your Z. I bet he's still having nightmares about a ripped dude with the perfect hair pouncing out of a rolling Z, wooping his a$$ then drifting like a boss on the way out. If I spot that punk he'll still be looking like this...
( Click to show/hide )

I needed you for that punk in the Civic

Shoot I didn't think of it. He was trying to pull one of those Tokyo Drift flirting with the bad guy's girl. Now that you say that, I would have done the same if she were in the punk's car just to get her attention

My second day driving the car to work, my first encounter with the unwashed.

At 5:30 am at a stoplight, a ricer Civic SI pulls next to me, revs his engine, peels out when the light turns green and proceeds to almost run over some guy on a bike! The cyclist was wearing a neon reflective vest and had a bright blinking light on the bike; no way you could miss him unless you weren't paying attention.

Apparently, the cop parked in the Starbucks parking lot on the corner didn't think it was too funny as he lit the gumbals and pulled the guy over.

Made my morning!

I was on my commute to enjoying a nice cruise with the windows down, driving calmly just enjoying the weather.

All of a sudden I see this kid in a Celica GTS w/ the horrible factory body kit tailgating the $#$@ out of me. I pay him no mind and continue at my normal pace. We come up to a turn in the road and I guess he doesn't like the speed I am going so he proceeds switch to the left lane and overtake me. At this point I am going 45-50mph and he blows by me at what must be 60+ and all of a sudden I hear his tires break loose. Dumb kid goes into a slide and over corrects, he ends up slamming over the curb and right into the metal guard rail.

I just and continue on my way. I had no intentions of wasting my time and stopping to help a moron that treats public roads as a race track.

If someone is riding my rear too close for comfort, I tap the brakes very briefly to let them know that I'm going to slow down. Once they adjust to my speed, I downshift from 6th to 3rd or 4th depending on my speed and let the Z slow down a bit more via engine brake (no brake lights). Invariably, they won't take notice, and as soon as I see their front end dip when they hit the brakes, I gun it and put some distance between us. It rarely takes more than a couple of those for them to back off for good - they hardly ever want to lead faster than me anyway.
