my wife and i were waiting in the parkinglot to pick up my buddy to go out to the track and some deouch bag walks right up to the window and says, " real men drive subarus!"and then walks away. i just said,"cool dude!"and stuck my thumb in his face and laughed!. my wife and i thought it was hillarious. when my buddy finnaly showed up i asked him," who is that guy and what kind of car does he drive?" thinking he had a suby. turns out he doesnt have a car at all! and all he does is bum rides from everyone else. what a sponge!

the problem is that when you follow them, and get out of the car and in their face, you really don't know what can happen then... What would you do if they just slammed on their brakes and smashed into your car? and then took off? or even worse; they can either pull a knife and just stab you or shoot you (or maybe club you with a baseball bat). It's not worth it.

Honestly, i had a a similar situation and this guy just flipped out for NO reason what so ever. I just laughed at him and drove by.

I stay in my car when in certain areas of jersey lol...like camden...I did have one bad experience when i was 17 though. I was driving through my town and made a turn and this guy made an illegal left and almost slammed me so I beeped the horn. It was an old rusty looking thing. Not sure how to explain. Tinted out. I had an Olds Firenza at the time. He kept following me and flashing his beams. I tried to lose him and he just kept following ... wherever. I did not want to go back to my house so he knew where i lived.

He rode up on me like 5x and finally i was doing like 45 and slammed the brakes and pulled down a side street. I came out another block and saw him turning up the one i originally went down. I flew out and sped home. That **** was creepy then.

When I used to drive around with my friends I'd try to show off a lot, so if someone cut me off or something else stupid I would punch it and get up next to them and flip them off. Same thing I'd do with my girl, but I'd usually just fly by them, needless to say a lot of those friends don't ride with me anymore and I don't got the girl anymore.

Now when I have lady friends in the car I tend to keep it cool, they are too busy being impressed with all the lights and sounds (gauges and my system) to really car if I'm driving fast of not

Something similar happen to me the other day....So I get hungry and I stop to get a bit to eat and Im leaving the parking lot and minding my own business. Im listening to T.I. and im just waiting for traffic to go by so I can get out in the road. Well this guy who looked about 18 or 19 pulled in going the opposite way and he literally revved the **** out of his mustang ( old school one). Well I dont really care when things like this happen but just so happens I was at my quotey for the day (this happens about 6-7 times a day) and I got pissed. So i patiencely wait for traffic to go and I keep my cool for everything else just not this guy driving the Mustang. So I finally go and I watched the guy and he went into a Wendy's drive-thru and I went down some roads and ended up where he was. I pulled next to him at the drive thru and I lowered my window and all I said was "do you really wanna do that again"? He laughed and he said "man Im just playing I always do that and I know you will destroy me so no I guess I wont do it again". I was just like I didnt think so then I left just.........just gets under my skin sometimes.

revving doesnt **** me off, nor does BOV blow-off. When people YELL at me for no reason with negative comments, that ticks me off. Its not even about the car. Its not like i'm engraged becuz he dissed my car..I could care less. I want a c5-z06 so bad i lost love for my evo.. Anyways, I'm learning to "pick my fights", but where I was raised, it's "never let sh*t slide".

So, I pull to the center lane to pull into my gym lot and right as im about to turn, they drive by and scream P*SSY A$$ CAR...for no apparent reason. So i snap the wheel back straight and get right on the a$$ of the car and I'm pointing to the right like im a police officer to pull over and im yelling obscene things at him from behind. I attempted to get next to him but he wouldnt let me...at that point I realized they were obviously scared. I tailed him for about 2 short blocks and i flicked him off and left.

My first evo hate experience..obviously not very smart people. When I was back in Cali, there were multiple freeway shootings from crap like this, so if I was an armed maniac, that could have easily been the end of their life :/ ...people nowadays
I can't believe you just told this story to everyone. This just goes to show how big of an idot you are. You must have very little self esteem or none for that matter. Who gives a $hit what other people think? Are you going to come scream at me now because I think your an idot, get a life!

I live in San Francisco, and there are lots of Asian guys here. I'm Japanese, but since I'm 33, I must stand out. Civics or Integras or all the cars come next to me while I'm driving and they just kinda stare at me. I usually just smile at them. If they give me ****, I just ignore them and take off. When I go somewhere, and many teenagers are checking my car out while I'm getting out of the car, it kinda makes me nervous because I'm not sure what they would do. Kids now days are crazy...

I've had this happen to me a lot in the past few weeks. I don't know what it is about V8 owners thinking it's cool to rev their engines when they are going past my car. They must be compensating for their inadequacies or shortcomings.

I remember there was a video I saw a while ago. Basically, two guys in a pickup truck were being obscene towards a couple in a BMW coupe, and they were recording it all on their camera. The BMW lead the guys to a dirt road (the rednecks got all cocky), which ended up in a dead end. The rednecks got out a bat out of their trunk, and bam, the guy in the BMW comes out with a gun. In the end, the BMW couple steals the camera and takes the rednecks keys.

I'll try to find the video...

Although I have not experience this., I feel that people like the red necks ( I don't condone the word) are just people that have preferences on like and dislike on vehicles. I too don't care for certain vehicles, but I don't preliterate toward them. There are ignorant folks out there and they are not aware that a Evo is a magnificently built vehicle.
