Annoying things people do, JUST because you are in a Z!

sorry, but thats just idiotic the advice you just gave...i have been on the highway more than enough times when people come up behind and ride your bumper like that and 99 percent of the time when the person they are trying to get to move does so, they swing wildly into the right lane to try and pass and end up almost hitting the person that is moving for them. besides that he was already speeding to begin with going 10mph over the speed limit, might as well be telling people that it ok to speed while you're at it

Last night another complete f'ing idiot in a Mazda cut me off, sped off on a busy 40 mph road and then had to brake hard before the red light just a block down the road.

Here's a very good one from late last year. On Christmas eve night 2012, I was heading down 680 southbound in the fast lane when I noticed headlights quickly approaching in my rear view mirror. Thinking it was a cop, I slowed down to the speed limit. As the car rides my a$$, I realize that it's a BMW. So I move over to the right and the guy guns it. As he passes, I see that it's an E46 M3 and decide to downshift, move back over to the fast lane and then ride his a$$.
Now here's the funny part, I can hear his fart-can exhaust vibrating really loud and then next I know there are sparks flying from under his car. I slow down to create distance and move over to the right when sh!t starts flying out from under his car, metal, plastic, etc. Some chunks of plastic ended up bouncing off the front of my car but luckily did no damage (black scuffs buffed right off). My guess is that the screws came loose from his exhaust or it fell off it's hangers somewhere before the mufflers and got dragged along the freeway.
Because I was pissed off from his car parts bouncing off my car, I pulled up next to his passenger side and gave him a thumbs down and head shake. He then proceeding to the next exit.

That's one of the worst things - when stuff is flying from under (or off of) a vehicle in front of you.

I remember I took a full tire tread on the nose of my SRT three days after I got it back from a front-end collision.

I was so pissed. Giant scuff marks, ripped off the intercooler piping and dragged the BOV on the highway at 70mph.

Not sure how it is in other states but out here if you are in the HOV lane there are only some areas where you can move in/out of the lane, double white line means no going into or out of the HOV lane, so if state laws are similar he may have been in a position where changing lanes would have been illegal. Yet as a passive aggressive person I've done it to, so...

That is one thing I have noticed driving around in my Z is that out here every small member wanna-be redneck with a lifted truck and huge tires wants to race me stoplight to stoplight, I just don't understand it, but I do giggle on the inside a bit when I watch this giant cloud of black smoke come out of there exhaust as I just take it easy.

Here we can move in/out anywhere. But it's a general knowledge that the HOV lane is NOT the fast lane nor passing lane - it's a cruising lane (unless HOV rules are in effect (Mon-Fri 6-9a, 3-7p must have 2ppl), then I do use it as a passing lane when no cops are around... sometimes. )
