Haha....this thread has so many absolutey true statements. I always get people coming up behind me on the highway and then they start to pass and catch a glimse of the Brembos and they slow down and just stare. It cracks me up everytime!!

I hate that too. some guy was blowing leaves off his front lawn when I was driving up my road and blowing them at my car so I flored it cuz i was pissed and all the stuff blew back on his lawn he flipped me off and started yelling I pulled over got out of my car walked over to him and started flipping and he shut right up. I have lived on this street for 20 years! (since I was 3) you've been here for 1year! Look you may not know how it wokrs but i DONT SPEED UP THIS ROAD at all and never have I drive in high gears at night not to bother anyone, if I even have that car out. Since I drive my Jeep Daily and that only on the weekends sometimes. I was like your not even supposed to blow ur leaves or anything on the roads here we dont do that its a town law that leaves and grass go in your backyard in the woods since we have them.

I haven't had an issue with him since and my other neighbors knew me with my last car and b4 they had kids that it doesn't phase them cuz they know I watch out for there kids.

but sometimes in other areas I yell at the person for staring at me but when they do the hand motions to slow down and theres a mom in an suv booking it in front of me and im driving the posted limit or below I FLIP and stop. Cuz you know when they drive down your street they're prolly going faster then you were down the one they live on. URG! haha

I will say this, blasting your music/bass is sometimes annoying, even if you're going 20 MPH....I personally don't like to hear it after work, but I will not chase people because of it.

You should consider stopping and talking some sense into her if you think there is a remote chance she'll listen.

Just read my story earlier, I had a guy call me an SOB and a bunch of other stuff, and then I showed up at his door and politely talked to him and we were cool afterwards.

Lately I've convinced myself that old people are tracking me down and trying to destroy my car. I've had so many close calls this week it's not even funny.

Default Re: Parents seem to be scared of my car.

my neighborhood is a small one with like 14houses that recently had a larger one added to a dead end of ours. so many people drive here going like 30mph down the 200foot road to make a sharp right turn into their neighborhood, pisses me off. not to mention none of them can make a slight right hand turn so the road by my ditch is falling apart.

i got yelle at by some dumb neighbor at like 11pm "THIS ISNT A ****IGN RACE TRACK" im like 'DUDE IM GOING 20MPH" he replied "I HAVE MY KIDS OUT" i say "DUDE RELAX"

he comes to my house, talks to my moms and is like cna i apologize to your son. As hes talking i look down and notice a Bud Light in his pocket im thinking "how fancy of him to atleast hide his beer"

you should see his wife speed through, sigh.. one night 6000rpms with a 3" catless open downpipe outta show them

it certainly doesn't help.

there's a guy on my street with a white Nissan Altima with a huge aluminum wing on it. he flies down the street. my car is white, and has a big wing, so people yell at me too. b/c the cars look sooooo similar.

this thread is so true! just the other night coming home, i took a left on to my street at the posted speed limit(25-30mph) and this couple walking down the side of the street about 150ft in front of me jumped out of the road like i was going to mow them down or something, then gave me a dirtyass look. i was like, um...ok, what the hell did i do wrong, that was weird and pretty funny at the same time. we need to start posting up some vids of stuff like this happening to us.
