One the way home from ZdayZ, I had a few knuckleheads tailgating me on I75; especially driving through Columbus, OH. I guess they think the closer they get, the faster I'll go...NOT! These are the same goofs that weave in and out of traffic to get around people, then have to slow down when they get behind a truck .

I had one guy so close to me, that I could see his nostrils flaring because he was so mad I wouldn't get out of his way (only because of construction and so much traffic). I tried to get this idiot to back off by slowing slightly; giving the brake light treatment but no luck. When I was finally able to get into the center lane, I made sure that my transition took about 15 seconds . He wasn't happy about that either. Once he got past me, he was right on the a$$ of the next vehicle.

In my younger years, he would have gotten the downshift into 3rd, dump clutch, slow way down and then accelerate before he hit me. Anymore, it's not worth getting shot by someone with road rage.

Ill admit I used to drive a little aggressive when I was younger but I'm 26 now and can't be bothered to "get back" at people or establish myself as the fastest car on the road. Too much effort for all that dumb stuff, and it just causes stress. I just don't really pay attention to those kinds of dumb *** drivers on the road. Only "aggressive" thing I find myself doing is flashing high beams at a slow car in the passing lane, and I usually give them ample time to get over also before I flash them. Or sometimes I just pass on the right I expect to get a bit more people challenging me when I have my fast intentions exhaust installed, but whatevah! (Boston accent)

How did you allow him to do that, just make sure you don't let that dry on your paint, otherwise you'll have to tell people girls just don't do it for me anymore.

Having a pearl white, it never shows up until I shine a black light on the car.

i love BMW M drivers lol they always like eye me up at lights with dirty looks like looking down on the Z because its a nissan.

then i give it a quick rev and the (almost) straight pipes take care of that.

i actually made 2 high school looking (maybe college) kids jump and go nuts when i downshifted at a light yesterday
