I go out this morning for a 5 mile pleasure cruze around town. Just normal driving no unusually fast accelerations, just typical driving. First a RAM next to me figures he has to show everyone how fast and loud his truck is and in the process nearly causes and accident cutting in and out of traffic to blow my doors off. In a 45 zone he probably cracked 90mph. I say to myself, whatever. Drive a few more miles and see a nice black Camaro at an intersection. When I drive by along with traffic he's bouncing the motor off of the rev limiter, apparently to try and impress someone. Weird. I had to say to myself what the h@ll is wrong with people! Perhaps a little insecurity, idk? I want a license plate that says something to the affect...if you want to race rub salt.

I know this is just another one of those threads but I just had to share.

I'm assuming traffic has settled down now that I put the Vette back in the garage. lol

Now it time to go out and mow the grass.

The great thing about a Corvette is you don't need to prove anything to anybody. Keep it zipped up cause you know, on the track, the other guy will be parked and steaming while you just cruse around, except maybe if you come across a Porsche.

It's just the way it is, at least around here. Regardless of the car I'm in, in all honesty it is a bizarre day if something odd or stupid doesn't happen on the road.

Heck, I had a guy run a red light and I was able to avoid the collision. He eventually came racing by me, jerked his car into my lane right at my bumper, slammed on his brakes and flipped me off. All I had done was not T-bone his door, and I was the "bad" guy. Many days I wish I had the Blues Brother car and add some harness belts.

There's a lot of stupid out there.

Sounds like ***** bigger than brain syndrome

When I'm in my Chevy Cruze...yep that's my daily driver - talk about slow (but great trip car...handles very well) Non of this stuff happens. I'm okay with it but gosh it's really kind of stupid sometimes. I mean, you have a giant RAM pickup and you actually think it's sports car quick.

Thanks for entertaining me on this thing.

Happens to me all the time!

Down here,there are some of those Turbo Diesels that will blow the doors off of a vette.Young punts with rich Parents......

ls1121

they are stupid, in general.

Yup until the road hits a curve...This was just a higher end RAM which is actually pretty quick for 5,00lbs?

z edge

haha - same here. I have a Cruze for DD. Very nice for a small Chevy but certainly not a vette by any means.

i just wait until the road gets curvy............

Yep, I get the same thing, even when I'm sitting at the gas pump. "Hot Rods" (I use the term loosely) rev their motors, peel out at stop lights. I once was sitting at a red light and a old Moosetang Cobra pull up and start revving his motor. So, I started revving mine, the wife looks over at me and says, "what are you doing?". Watch this, I replied. Light goes green, he peels off in a thunderous roar. I pulled off like an old man and the wife just starts laughing as I did.

About a mile down the road, I kid you not, there he was pulled over with bubble gum lights and all. I had to honk as I passed on by.

One of my favorite Corvette stories. Two words that go together speed and track, not speed and street.

I was Ted Nugget that said, "the trick is not go so fast that they can't see you in your car, this trick is to go slow enough that they do see you in your fast car".

In my experience what the OP is saying is every day for me. Last night, a ricer in an MR2 with the courtesy fart pipe exhaust is dropping gears and pulling up back and forth next to me. I am pretty sure he was aware of the Florida Highway Patrol watching all of this too. WE pull up finally next to each other at a light and FHP pulls up behind us splitting the lanes and like 2-3 cars back. I roll down the window and yell to the right, "Hey...you know there is FHP behind us, right?" He waits to answer and says, "Yeah, I know." Light turns green and he takes off...of course...faster than he should have and pulls in front of me and I get into the R turn lane to go south on I-75 as the FHP starts tailing the ricer and off I went. This sort of thing happens ALL the time to me. Same road a few weeks ago...not a ricer but a heads/ cam E63 Mercedes. That was a very happy story I cannot tell here.

Happens to me all the time with all kinds of cars and mini vans....even more when I'm wearing my old straw cowboy hat..... That really sets them off for some reason.........

Happens here in Miami from the moment I pull out of the garage and down the road. Doesn't matter if they are in front of you, behind you, beside you or even going the opposite direction. It's like the car flips the douche bag switch on for all others driving around you. I can't do much but laugh most of the time, but at other times it can be annoying. It does something particularly special to those driving camaros, chargers and mustangs.

and i thought that kind of stupid just happens in pa. i guess no matter where your from you have your crazies too.
