Default Why do they try?

I usually don't post such a "kill." But I'm tired of this ****. Today, I had the TA out and driving it around town. Well, I had buddy with me and we were going down a 5 lane road. Two each side with a turning lane. I look up in my rear view and see a new Mercury Cougar running up on me. Of course, I think nothing of it, so he comes flying by me at about 80mph in a 45mph zone. Well, the guy in the passenger seat throws his arm out and waves at us, like he's doing something impressive. So w/o downshifting, I just nail it in 4th gear. About 15 seconds later, I'm dead beside this slow POS. So I get in/out of the throttle to let them know I'm game. So homedude in the passenger seat flips me off and proceeds to pass this car in the turning lane. So naturally, I go WOT in the slow lane. So why he's WOT, or so I presume, I just keep getting in and out of the throttle right beside him, then my lane ends, so I nail it and get infront of him. That's basically the end of the story...which is a slow, sad story, but I keep wondering why someone like him and friend think they had a chance in the first place? I pull up beside foxbodie's with roll cages who can just listen and know they're like a one legged man in an *** kicking contest, yet these ricers wanna prove a point...I don't understand it.

May have told this before cant memer:

You think that's bad.
Was cruising around this normally busy road one night.
Traffic wasnt too bad, actually wasnt that busy at all.
And I see this mustang pull up behind me(99-04)
Gets right on my *** and I look at the hoood thinking wtf?
Ok, so maybe this vee sick just wants to get ahead of the guy on the side of me, so I pull up a little
He gets right beside me and we catch a red light.
Friend was in the passenger seat playin with his camcorder and they start sayin stupid crap.
Asking if I wanted to race, and I kind of chuckle and say "You Serious?"
They go on saying "That's what the last guy said, you better get this **** on camera"
(Now i know i think i've told this here, or atlesat in live chat)
Thinking he's got some magical trevor under the hood, light turns green and we're off.
Trying to keep tirespin low in the cool night air, spinning a little through first and second, hit third and just completely left him.
Sadly I stomped a v6.
Wooo!

I had a kid pull a gun out on me when I beat his Integra (in my 3.8l 94 Taurus)

Nice Kill Derek, The sad part is those Cougar V6s are slower than my tiny 1.6L I4, hell I roasted one in my POS Escort once.

I actually find your posts to be some of the easiest to understand....

Last week, a Cougar was nearly bump drafting me from a parking lot all the way to the street. He insisted on riding my *** and then pulled out besides me and kept lurching forward like I was going to waste some expensive premium gas on his dumbass.

I find a lot more truck/SUV drivers feeling like they need to do fly-bys and swerve infront of me now. Seems more like the sports cars leave me alone now.....

The first day I had my Cobra, on the way home some douche bags in an Explorer were besides me shifting into neutral and revving the snot out of it and doing drops into drive...

A couple times I've accellerated quickly to 60mph from a light and 5 seconds later I'll have a Silverado or F150 come roaring by me with it's impressive 25 second 0-60 capabilities LOL
