Default So i hope it wasnt an idiot on this forum...

But i was on the I-5 S today and some stupid kid, probably his parents just got him his car and he's showing it off, it looks like a 08-or 09 tc with stock everything, the lights were not even HID's... only things i saw were either blue lights in the trunk or those light up sub woofers, and maybe TRD lowering springs since it was a tad bit higher than mine...

anyways I'm cruising home at around 80 MPH this other tc comes onto the freeway and guess hes sees, me "cool another TC" after 2 mins he rolls faster then slows down, faster then slows down, and then takes off and brakes after two car legnths hoping i will take off... keep in mind this happens for 10 miles, he takes off flashes his high beams 20 thousand times, speeds off going a hundred then has to slam on his brakes and pulls off around oceanside...

i was annoyed because its the same exact car, im not turboed and neither was he, he had no mods at all, whats the point??? and its serious ticket, id rather goto the tracks, i hope some of you experienced this to complain also!



oh and when i was 5 miles away from my exit another car, this time i heard it gunning it next to me was an RSX, same exact thing! i was like WTF is this the same guy?? so i had to exit but he kept blocking my right! as i slowed down he did and when i sped up he did....

soooo i down shifted to 3rd, acted like i was taking off so he did, and i just braked and turned off, that guy must have felt stupid! haha

Hey man... I feel ya on that...some people just dont know how to grow up... on another note....my tC is dropped modded and fairly loud so that doesnt help keep the gremlins from not noticing me on the road lol... I think its tC's in general get that attention because they are popular in the import tuner scene.

it's funny when you said "his headlights weren't even HID's". This forum cracks me up.
Anyways, there are retards driving any type of car. Most drive trucks thinking they own the road.

I get the same thing in my town. A bunch of dumb kids thinking because he has a tC he wants to race! My big issue is all the mustang owners in my city think that I always want to race them. I laugh because that's like my trying to be a hardass and race against a Smart car! I don't see them trying that with camaro and 'vette owners. (the cars the mustang was built to compete with) They'll get blown away by them so they need to race a 4 cylinder to make themselves feel good. It's really quite sad!

I thought the same thing.. I ahve a billion other things to put my car money into rather than dumping on aftermarket HIDs No offense to those that like them at all.. but they are a a complete waste of dough to me.. my suspension mods and autox fees are way more important and noticeable to me :D

But like you said, there are stupid drivers all over. I have almost never had that happen here though. Tons and tons of car enthusiasts, but I guess in the part of the metro I live in they are a bit more mature The kiddie racers must all hang out in St Paul still. We get one every now and then that enter an autox event... then dont come back when they realize they ARENT a good driver !

Do not mess with the Smartzuki, it will kick your butt.

It can also be turbo'd



If you guys don't like getting revved on, get a 1gen xB. Then all you have to worry about are UPS trucks and bread delivery vans.
