People who want to race you
So I am driving my wife out this afternoon on a shopping trip. There is a light near my house that has 2 lanes and in less than an 1/8 of a mile from the light it narrows into one. So I am sitting in the right lane waiting for the red to turn green. I see this old dude with a beard in a Tundra hanging back rolling slowly in the left lane. I am also an old grey hair. So I know he is going to race. I think I should just let him go, a Tundra truck, I know I can smoke him. The teenage idiot in me turns on and the light turns green.
He has a rolling start and pulls me off the green, but I smoke him. By the time the lanes merge he is way behind. But he is not finished, he goes postal, races by me over double yellow and almost wipes out making a left turn ahead of me onto a side street. Total lunatic.
Anyway I say out loud to my wife, "What an idiot." She says what are you talking about? I say we just got in a street race and won then the guy went a bit postal. She was texting the entire time and literally missed it. Wow.

Hehe....I know the temptation.
In the Deep South where my RCF is located there are often these diesel full size pickup trucks with modded ECU where they can floor it and make "coal" with real dark soot coming out of the tail pipe and just to irritate the vehicles behind them. In these situations, I just press the gas just a little bit to stay ahead of the stupid diesel pickup truck!! Some of these modded diesel pickup trucks can really move from standing still due to all that low end torque!!

I try to just ignore the idiots and let them go.. I am not risking my car or tickets.. In Ontario if your 50km/h over the limit and get caught the cops can seize your car for 7 days... No thanks!

Lexus Test Driver
Modded STi, Genesis 3.8, 335, even a Civic with a few kids etc. are a few cars that were messing a bit. I was quietly cruising with my wife and 3 year old daughter in the back in the slow lane. We simply laugh about it. I know my car has that "don't mess with me" look especially from the back with that super wide stance in the back of my head so I feel very comfortable cruising slowly.

I get it.
I will say California has become lawless. It would just take bad luck or a speed trap to get caught here. They literally do "side shows" where they take over the entire freeway and do burn outs and the CHP is powerless. There is a video of the CHP fleeing mobs of reckless drivers. California is a mess.

Had an M4(he was faster after the turbos spooled up)
Mustang(I was faster)
C7 vette(I felt like I was standing)
Challenger SRT(destroyed him)
and my favorite: CLS63s (Grandpa destroyed me, NO CHANCE... twice)
oh yes a panigale 959 gave me a huge head start. Just as I was about to rip a huge smile he flew by

The only joy I get is when you find those impatient drivers who zig zag in and out of all lanes without using signals, and when pulling alongside their Fast & Furious cars - I crank up the setting on Edge to fill their open windows full of black smoke! LMFAO. Yeah its juvenile, but some folks just deserve it once in awhile. Especially those who go out of their way to cut people off, run the merge lane all the way til end before cutting in, and give you the infamous "Brake Check" if your too close behind them. Let em eat smoke!
Sorry OP, Now back to the regular RCF station!!!
