I used to get pissed off, but now I just let those idiots pass me.

When they spin out of control or fall into a ditch, I just drive by, point and laugh.

I actually had a bunch of high school kids in mom's corolla pull up next to me while I was in my Ranger on my way to get some bdubs. Of course I'm only a freshman in college, so of course they're going to interact with me. They stare at me for the entire time we're sitting at the stop light, light turns green and they take off and look back at me expecting me to actually do something.

The whole time, all I thought was, "If only you knew."

On Thanksgiving while driving up to my sister's a Chrysler minivan was very intent on getting as close to my bumper as possible. I'm doing 65 in a 60, not unreasonable right? Well we have passing lanes every so often and we got to one, the minivan races around and gets infront. I was fine with it until the passing lane ended and the Bi*** slows down to 55.. At the next passing lane I juiced it a little and zipped around him and while doing so proceeded to extend my middle finger into the air. My mother is sitting the passenger seat and promptly looks at me and says "Good job." I hate minivans....

Yea, I have had these sombeaches try that on me
and I usually just keep them at bay and make them
work for what they want to acheive and some of the
times it places them headed straight into a speed trap
and smile as I pass while they get pulled over.

I have **** riders most of the time when I am doing
the speed limit on a single lane and going as fast as the
car in front of me. What are they thinking? Riding my
**** and me riding the guy in front of mes **** and so
on up the line until the first guy in line going the speed
limit is going to see the line of bunched up drivers on
their **** and speed up accordingly?
I usually put about 2000 yards between me and the
car in front of me during those situations.
And dont even try and pass me in the no passing zones...
Kinda makes you want to have the rearward facing
remotely fired paint gun option.

When driving the BMW 528i I never noticed any of that kind of behavior, but, now that I got the Mustang GT I see all kinds of stupid crap. I don't know what it is, it's almost like, "look, I'm fast too!". I get minivans doing flyby's while I'm doing 50+ in a 40. Sometimes trucks or other patched together cars, old hondas and what not with non-matching painted body panels, missing hub caps, etc.

At a stop light one guy in some random POS (no idea what it was, something from the 80's) was looking right at me in the oncoming lane. Light turns green, still looking right at me, does a 1 wheel burn out through the entire intersection.

I haven't had any ricers mess with me yet which I find odd. I figured it would have been the other way around if anything. I can't imagine the harassment people with higher end cars get.

Same here, I guess they like picking on smaller fish.
