This is in response to the guy reving his motor as he took the turn and passed by when I was comming back from home depot in st. louis park yesterday. I want to say congrats, your Mom chose a very nice color when she got her car. Oh, and dont worry, I noticed your feirce stare and I heard you hitting the rev limiter when you took it out of drive and floored it. Bravo, you made a nice scene for yourself. So, I guess I'm not used to it, But i've gotten more ricer flybys and people reving their cars at me than ever. I was telling some of you at firestone last week, that I got a ricer flyby with my car on the trailor when I was pulling into town. Have any of you just shut them up, or are you all pretty good at not going down to their level? It's really amazing. Other than that, I'm loving MN so far! /end rant, sorry.
Unfortunately, get used to it! On the way to spectate rallyx, I had dad in his black Mazdaspeed6 trying to highway frum-rollz me until his wife started yelling at him. Then on the way home, I had a black mustang doing the same thing in fender to fender highway traffic. Figured it was just a boonies thing since I don't get a whole lot of that nonsense where I live, but then had a corsica "smoke" me off the line a few blocks from my house. I'm not interested in being a super skreet racing king so I just lol
They don't like it when you just look over and laugh, it just antagonizes them more...which makes for funnier antics. Have fun with it!
I do the jerk off guesture too, it releives the stress of the situation, I want to get a little sticker to put on my bumper that reads "Meh... you win LOLz"
My favorite is when I laugh, and they get all pissed off and buzz away...then about 30 sec later I pass while I'm cruisin' at about 60mph. The I give them one last laugh and wave goodbye.
the best one for me was when the ricer acura did a fly by, then backed off to come even with me, then did the 3 honks and took off. 10s later red and blue lights pop on inside a 90's minivan that he cut off like an @$$face and it pulls him over about a mile ahead of me. when i get to the scence, the cop has gun unholstered and telling the driver to get out of the car on the PA - hahahaha
i BET HE HAD AN AMAZING KILL STORY FOR THE COP THOUGH, PROLLY LIKE " yeah well I past that wrx like it was standing still, man you should have seen it, oh wait, you did see it and I'm going to jail":laugh::laugh:
just let em do it. it's like a dog humping you. you just have to let it get its jollies and be done with it. you can't change em.
^ some dogs, you shake them off and they keep coming back. sometimes you just have to let them be. for instance, my boston terrier continues to hump--yet he got clipped over a year ago. explain that... ? haha
well, it would certainly be different if the driver was trying to hump my leg, but my reaction would remain the same.. point and laugh.
Sheen was in my car when a Mustang tired to race me outside the Convention Center, we were at a stop light and there was another in like 200 ft ???
Yep. I always let them get a jump, then blow by them when I get to the speed limit twice as fast as they can, then hold at the limit and wait for the flyby.
