Default Ahole tailgaters.

So finally, after two months of owning this car I get an oppurtunity (crazy enough in sofl) to drive my S in the rain. So taking it careful, driving about 28mph in a 30...usually id be doing 45, taking it nice and easy (man this car is soooo diff in the rain) two lane rd, and some DICK in an eclipse comes up riding my tail honking is horn and blinking his lights like a madman....WITH THE OTHER LANE OPEN!!!


This happened for about half a mile until I turned into my complex, but wtf??? I serioulsy almost lost in and wanted to slam on my brakes, luckily I kept my cool, but it was tough.

I'm right there with you...I used to do everything in my power to get the assholes to hit me when I was driving my Tacoma, but in the S, If I'm not going fast enough for someone (RARE), I usually get over and let them speed off like the idiot they are. Once in a blue moon I get lucky and someone starts tailgating me near where I know there's a speed trap...in that case I usually continue to piss them off by driving slow and blocking them until just before where the cops are, then I let them speed off.
Only once has anyone ever gotten pulled over by this trick, but it was soooooooooooo worth it

That's when you slow down to 5 MPH.

Were you in the left-hand lane or the right?

That'd be such a sweet victory over someone being an idiot. You know they feel like a total asshole too when you go cruising by.

I was in the right, thats why i was like wtf, not like i cut him off, i was alone on the road for a while....ehhh




my favorite is when the light turns green, and like a split second later someone honks at me, thats when i creep off the line at like 3mph....nothing in the world makes me happier than this,.

Im driving home from Walgreens at about 11:00pm, its like 300 yards from my house, and ive cut through a shopping plaza, no ones following me, its dead out...i pull onto my street and some car turns after me and gets about 6 inches i would guess from my bumper...i have quite a few turns until i get to my townhome and my garage and hes on me like white on rice...i pull into my space and stop before i drive in my garage, he stops and screams "Hey good for you"....but like a dick.

wtf is that shyt?

not like im 16 drving an S, not like i live in the hood, wtf is wrong with people...i see people in Lambo's, Ferrari's, Bentley's all day (palm beach county) and I would never think to follow them like this punk...not that im putting my our car in that catagory of car but you know what i mean...

Wow, if someone was tailing me, there's no way I'd drive home and pull in the driveway!

no he yelled when i pulled into my driveway...we have a gated community, so, i thought at first he was on me because we both stopped at the gate, but he pulled this shit the whole time i was driving around my community...
