Morons on the road

Post by dscoobydoo »

As we were heading up the I-5 into Seattle, this moron in a modified 510 pulls up next to us and revs it like he wants to race. I blow him off and keep going with traffic into town ( doing about 68 mph) He comes back up again and revs his engine a few times and stares at us like he wants to race.

I was irritated the first time, but now I want to strangle this idiot. It's dusk, we are in medium traffic, and this shit is what gets people killed. I got pissed and waved him off like a madman.

He finally got the message and backed off. But I have to wonder how many times this idiot has done this.

If I was a local cop, he would lose his license. But sadly, that is not my jurisdiction.

I decided next time, Tasha will look over, smile and give him the finger.

Yeah, those are the idiots that cause the problems and make street racing such a high-visibility problem in spite of the statistics. He'll probably end up destroying that poor 510, too. Hope he at least dies alone when he does.

A 510 racing a Legacy SS? (Or were you in another vehicle?)

But, wow, what are the odds of that ever happening again?

Really? I'm surprised someone who owns such an older car would cop an attitude like that. Maybe he upgraded from his Civic.

He's basically a cop for Mexicans. He snatches them up in the middle of the night and puts them on a plane back to Bratislava where they belong.

That's funny - I was thinking of a comedy where illegal Mexicans are dropped off in a remote area of Eastern Europe. Except I don't write comedy because I'm not that funny.

Some of us think you're funny. In a darkly cold cynical way.

No carrot top, indeed. Still funny, though.

A few weeks ago I was traveling on HW-50 down to my sister's house in sacramento, CA to house sit for them.

It as around 11:30pm and I was traveling in that fast lane at about 75mph and I passed up a 2006 wrx on my right. Shortly afterwards after he catches up to me and blows by me. He must have been doing at least 90mph. I sped up a little and he slowed a little and when I eventually caught up I gave him a little rev, simply acknowledging that I was a fellow subaru enthusiast.

I slowed up and continued to cruise at the same speed of about 75mph, showing no signs that I wanted to race him or anything of the sort. He slows down as well and sticks with me. Not only does he linger right next to me (which I cannot stand) he keeps speeding up, slowing down, passing me. and returning even with me and starring at me like a complete idiot.

We both happened to take the same exit and he continued to do the same speed up and pass me/rev at me routine all the way until I turned onto the street that my sister's house is on. He justwouldn't quit. I have no idea what his true intentions were but it was extremely annoying. And the kid looked like he was 16...

imprezive--You probably turned him on. Which related to his feelings, not yours! Or, there was not room on that part of the highway for two alpha dogs. Dr. kleinkid is out of the office now.

And what is wrong with 16 yr olds? lol Jk

People can be idiots.

I did get wasted by an '01 bmw 525i, dunno how weights about 300lbs more and has ony 184hp. But then again it didnt sound or look like any 525 I think it may have been a m5 with 525 badges. AKA a wolf in sheeps clothing. lol

I knew a guy with the same BMW, but he runs an NOS system. A dog without the juice.

I think a 5series has a bit more hp than just 184, cuz those are the guys that get me in trouble on the freeway. I can never keep up.

Depends on the model. The 525i's only had 184hp and 175lb ft of torque. The other models were way faster.
