Default Punk Honda Drivers

Im rushing back from lunch to get back to my office and on my way I pass up a Silver Honda Accord with the typical gaudy mods. Altezza lights, stickers, etc etc. While passing the Honda, I get in front of him and the punk kid thinks im trying to race.

Being that an IS350 is much faster than your standard accord, I easily passed him up and got into his lane (my intent not being to initiate some sort of race). Next thing I know, I hear the farting sound of a coffee can exhaust and hes trying to speed up and force me out of the lane. FINE... i let him in the lane and back off. Next thing I know, he is rolling down his windows to throw coins at my car. He ended up chipping the paint near my gas cap, but considering how many coins he threw, the damage is easily fixable with some touch up paint.

But Im sick of these ricer boys who think they are all that and think every freaking car is trying to race them (why would I even bother with a accord ???) and then for him to throw coins at me is just plain stupid and childish. Thankfully it was one tiny paint chip, but still... f'ing punk kids .

Thats it for my vent...

Take down the license plate and report it.
Given the recent rash of Driver's Rage and Freeway Shootings in the Southland, CHP will not take kindly to this BS on the streets & highways . . .

Sorry to hear that happened. What a stupid childish thing for that fool to do. I've had simular incidents where these *** holes swear they own the road. Next time get his plates and report the dumb a**.

Sorry to hear about that, I would be extremely pissed if someone threw coins at my car. Should really take down his license plate and report him right there to the cops...or keep a gun in the glove box. J/k People seem to have this "My thang is BIGGER than your thang mindset" and need to prove it anyway they can. So maybe that ricer has a little "thang"...

I have had a few things thrown at my RX for no reason other than I am an American (we can hear the words), my heavyset and muscular Mexican just spit on these people's cars at the next light (oh yeah my RX300 can catch up to their fart can exhaust powered POS).

no time to take down the plates, trying to focus on the road. And I think it would be hard to file a report with CHP especially because there was very little(thankfully) damage.

Im actually sad to hear so many other people have had this type of experience as well.

I dunno what it is with some youth today. I'd have treid to get his plates and reported him. Sad they chipped the paint.

Coming home a few nights ago, a faked SS Camaro not lowered with 20's pulls alongside and revs on me, single side stock exhaust pipe too. I'm thinking WTF, this is a Lexus you brain dead dolt...he speeds up, slows down, get's in front of me and does similar to provoke me. Traffic slows and so I begin to pull along side so he floors it.

He then pulls up to a de-badged WRX in front of me. The WRX took the bait and smoked the Camaro 10X over.

What a laugh.

Be happy you're not driving a TT Supra. EVERYBODY wants to race that car. It's really annoying.

I've noticed a lot of rice Hondas doing this, but Mustangs and Camaro's more than anyone. Why is it that they drive about 35 on a 45 zone, then if someone passes them in the other lane, proceed to go 60-70? Even when I'm driving my wife's 99 Solara V6, these punks do it. There's a reason why insurance for these cars is so damn high for the younger drivers. What's wrong with these punk *** kids in their 'stangs and Camaro's?

It's not just kids. I also get this from 528i and 530i's as well. But only when I'm in the GS. For those who drive around like punks in luxury cars, I guess life must really be insecure when you can't afford the top model, so you buy the cheapest model made and make yourself feel better by "racing" other people around you.
