DAMN WHAT A BEAUTY BRO!!! :yum:

company christmas party today at hollywood casino, beautiful sunny day, so i decideto tear the cover off and pull her out of the garage. I hit the interstate, and am cruising along around 75mph in moderate traffic, but passing steadily as i go. In my rear view I see 2 knuckleheads swerving in and out of traffic at a pretty good clip. As they approach me to pass, I yield to the slow lane to let them by. the first car, an older mitsu eclipse quickly passes, and slows, pulling in front of me... I know what hes thinking, I just can't understand WHY he's thinking it! lol. The second car, a hyundai veloster pulls along side of me, And I'm trying hard not to look over. They both pull away, crazy as before. after a minute or 2, I get a clear shot to scoot around the remaining traffic, and the highway is clear as far as I can see, except for guess who, now down to around 60mph, and single file in the slow lane. By the time I catch up (not that I was trying), and pass them, I jump into slow lane, and they bolt out to the left, and race up next to me. I'm keeping my cool, because I know whats up ahead..... A strech of about 2 miles straight, wooded on both sides, and no place for a trooper to sit....I'm at around 60 when I finally look over at the guy in the eclipse. Him and his buddy look like they are gonna **** bricks egging me on. I drop into third, and give a little blip, and off he goes. Now I 'm standing on it as I easily overtake them both once I go to 4, then 5.about a mile goes by quite fast, and they are WELL behind me. I never even looked down at the speedo, but I was haulin' As#. I brake, and they finally go by, and just kept on their merry way. Not even a wave, a honk, nothing. Sore losers.

Isn't it interesting how some cars (Z, my wife's 328(???)) bring the idiot out of other people?

I love it when guys in those Mini Coopers with racing stripes ( I like those cars btw) punch it and pass me as if they have something to prove, and this is between downtown red lights. Man stupid is everywhere.
I won't even dignify that with a response.

Just took hood home, was hoping to get to my storage before they locked the gate. Nope :( so I now have a hood sitting in my kitchen for the next few days with the snow storm coming. WAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Some people have small man syndrome I guess. If it were a 335 it may be a different story but a 328???

Does age play a role in this? Because I'm only 20 and I never have had anyone mess with me, and I even live in a college town? :confused:

I will say though the few times my dad has drove my car he said he always has people my age trying to get him to race them. So I guess it does matter.

I had someone try to race me the day I bought my Z and driving back from Austin to Houston. It was a Mustang and I ignored him for a few miles, then I noticed him using the flashlight on his phone to catch my attention (note this is in the middle of the night), I finally looked over and it was a older gentleman in his 60-70s. I gave him a smile and just slowed down. I'm 26.
