Default Unwanted attention

It's starting to get to the point of being seriously annoying. Almost everytime I'm out some other douche feels the need to show me how cool and fast their car is. I've had the following jackasses either tailgate me, race me at a stoplight, or downshift next to me in TRAFFIC.


1) young kid in a BMW 328 with carbon fiber hood. tailgating me, then driving alongside me in my BLINDSPOT

2) idiot in a BMW 335 trying to haul *** to keep up with me when I was just in a hurry to go home and was exiting.

3) old fart in his mid 40s and balding in a Nismo Z downshifting next to me on the freeway with TRAFFIC all around. Hey old fart, wtf do you want me to do? You've got 100HP less. Why would I waste time to weave through traffic to humiliate you for?

That was just within the last 4 days.

well, you gotta learn how to ignore those idiots...
hate to drive my car around in CA, especially in LA area
it seems like everyone from honda civic, scion to G35/35Z and bimmer wants to race me

when those idiots rev when I'm stuck on red light, I rev up with them, pretend that I will floor it, and as soon as I get a green light, I just SLOWLY accelerate and see those idiots FLYING out and getting PULLED OVER

Anyone that wants to play "in traffic" is completely ghey.

That being said, I'm not at all offended by "lesser" cars that want to play as long as it's safe and consensual. I have no issue running known slower cars as long as it's in good fun.

If you can't run with lesser cars, why should you expect GT-R's, Z06's or F430's, etc. to run with you?

I love playing with faster cars even if I know that I'm going to lose.

I just raped a mercedes s550 tonight. I didn't realize he wanted to race until he zoomed off. Then the next stop light came up and he started reving while his gf was in the car. My girl was with me too and I decided to show him up. beat him by 2 and half car lengths. What can I say, I like to drive the car like it was meant to be driven.

Relax, man. You purchased a high-performance sports sedan - what did you expect was going to happen? The "interest" from other drivers is going to be inevitable. If you don't want the attention, don't date the prom queen (so to speak).

Ignore it. When they think your a fool not to race them. You'll be the one speeding past when they get the ticket. Thats happened to me a few time in my GS
