Default Haters

I'm driving on the freeway, cruising, minding my own business and then some idiot cuts me off for absolutely no reason, then brakes. Why??? I don't understand. Anyone else have people doing this when they drive their F?

no not deliberately. just idiot drivers on a regular basis that don't pay attention to their surroundings. I am actually glad it happens while in the F cause the agility of the car makes maneuvering easier.

Lots of hate on the exhaust outlets, which I dont understand, makes me laugh.

LOL true, that happens to me all the time, especially in NY. Just haters. Teo can vouch for me here, I was cruising with 4 other F's this past fall and this idiot in a Altima cut me off to deliberately break us 4 up. We were stickin together. Other times I get people that cut me off but I don't get mad, just keep cruising.

Losers will be losers. It's some sort of ego boost to try to make themselves feel superior. That only happens if you get suckered into his little mind games. It happens all the time to me, but there's no need to respond. It just feeds his ego even more, and I for one won't let it happen. But on occasion for the fun of it, I'd get into the next lane and hope there's a slow car in front of him so that he's boxed in. if not, so be it. If so, it would really **** him off that he can't switch lanes as easily. Let's see him try to cut again....

I'm in a big college town and get props all the time. I've even had a few people ask if they could take pictures cause they dont see cars like mine in their home towns. I'm like... Were in vermont where do you live haha. There isn't many sports cars up here and the ones we have are almost never modded. Couple vettes and porsches rolling around... Few R8s up here too

not on the highway, its an even race with the isF winning on top end believe it or not. However from a dig its a different story. He wouldnt pick on you, he would kill you.

Don't worry this isn't hate , this is Cali driving especially in the Bay area. This happens almost every day to me and I used to get all worked up. So now I overtake the sob and brake. At least is fun.

When I was driving my GS I'd pass someone, I'd look in my rear view mirror and the person passed was flipping me off. Typically only happens when I am driving a Lex.
