In IT experience is more important than degrees. I haven't even finished my Bachelors yet.

I hear Camaro, awesome, power better than any Mustang on the lot...at which point I become interested. So I walk over and listen to him, and he goes on about this brand new Camaro SS he just bought and modded, how it puts out over 500 rwhp, how it's so much more powerful than a Mustang 5.0, how there isn't a single car on the lot that can touch it on the dyno. Through the course of the conversation, I find out his parents bought him the car, which is what I had assumed since he's clearly just out of high school. One of the guys standing there says, "There are over 1000 cars on the campus (university)." A valid point, and I thought it would shut his mouth but it only encouraged him. His response: "Man, seriously, you find a single, solitary car that belongs to someone here (meaning a student/professor/employee, I later clarified) that's faster than mine, I'll buy them a tank of gas and a case of their favorite beer."
In what I can only describe as my one moment of cinematic genius, I walk over and tell him, "I'll be your Huckleberry."
He said, "What, you wanna race me?" I said, "No. I want to see if my car is more powerful than yours. Let's go to the shop that you had your car dyno'd and I'll bring mine along and we can run the cars there to see who has the higher numbers. That way no one gets arrested and no one gets killed." I even offered to pay for a run of his car if he couldn't. Turned out he was burning a hole through daddy's credit card and didn't mind using it to pay for another dyno, so he gave the the address. His one condition was that it had to be a car on the lot, not in my garage. I said that's fine, one of your friends can ride over there with me. He said that was fine. His car was in the back lot and he didn't know mine was in the parking garage right next to us. His friend of course was telling me there's no way I'm going to out-power his car, it's over 100 hp higher than a stock SS, lots of mods, etc. I tell his friend to send this guy a text asking if I can produce a stock car that's more powerful than his, will he up the amount to two cases of beer? The guy says "oh heck yeah. Psh. There's NOTHING that will touch that car stock except a ZL1. Wait, you don't have a ZL1, do you?" I chuckle and say, "No, no ZL1. " He sends the text, and of course the reply comes back, "F*** yeah I'll take that guy's beer money!" At this point we have arrived on the 3rd floor of the garage, one below the roof level (I never park on the roof), and I start walking down the ramp to the far end, where there are usually several spaces open next to each other. He sees my car, and says, "Is that your Mustang? Dude, no way you're going to...wait, whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat????? Holy S***, you have a SHELBY?!?!? Dude, that's YOUR CAR?!?!? Holy S*** man, your car's an urban legend!!!! People all over campus have been saying they've seen a Black and Red '13 Shelby on campus, but no one ever knows where to find it!!! Holy S***, Doug (the guy who was bragging about his SS) is going to S*** himself!!" I told him not to tell Doug about it, to let him find out when I drive up to the shop, because I want to see his face when he finds out. I tell him I have no intention of making him buy gas or beer for me, I just want to teach him a lesson in humility and tact. He said, "Man, Doug's gonna be PISSED," but he was grinning when he said it, clearly anticipating the same thing I was--a crestfallen Doug who realizes he's been had. We get in the car, and I do some spirited driving, he likes it, etc., then we pull into the parking lot of this shop. He's around back, because I can see his car through the shop and he's got his back to me. I drive around to the side of the shop and rev my engine to 5000 rpm quickly, then let rumble out, coasting around the turn. The look on the guy's face was PRICELESS. If I wasn't driving, I'd have taken a picture with my phone. It was the classic "Oh, S***, I just got punked" look. I'm proud of my car, excessively so in some cases, but that experience was easily the biggest kick I've gotten out of owning this car to date, outside of the kick I get every time I accelerate hard of course. I broke the news that I wasn't going to make him pay up, just wanted him to realize that there's *always* a more powerful car around the corner, and to be happy with what he has, or to get something that will make him happy, not judge his car based against anyone else's. He was appreciative, and glad I wasn't an *** about it too; I didn't see the need, especially considering the hit his ego took when he saw--and heard--my car at the shop. Needless to say, we didn't even run the cars on the dyno.
But honestly, I don't think I'll ever have the perfect timing and response like I did when I told the guy, "I'll be you're Huckleberry." LOL...that still makes me cackle.

I had a camaro last weekend tailgating me for awhile on the freeway then overtake me on the fast lane. My vanity plate probably attracts most of these guys but once he went back in the lane I was in I dropped her into fourth and gunned it, swiftly overtaking him. Maybe he heard the KB whine because he left me alone after that. Oh and I had the cuttouts open. :P

Last night, I was meeting up with my wife and kids for dinner. On the way there, I noticed a silver Lexus (I think it was an es350 or something like that), a relatively new one, say 2010 or so, tailing me pretty hard. I look at the driver via rear view, and he's a relatively middleaged man...you know a typical lexus driver. lol. I think nothing of it, then at a stoplight he pulls up next to me, and starts REVVING his engine. I usually don't look at drivers next to me, but I laughed to myself and said WTF. Light turns green, and he FLOORS it. I didn't do nothing because I don't participate in that kind of stuff AND I was still laughing. He continued on his merry way.
I just thought this was hilarious. A Lexus owner? As Keyshawn says, "COME ON MAN".
Does this happen to you guys too? Maybe he was just jelly of my new borlas looks and sound? Lol

Every once in a while I get people up beside me who rev me but I know the result of any race with any car that doesn't have Ferrari on the nameplate; there's no point in encouraging someone who is willing to take risks with other people's lives that I'm not willing to take. Now, Mustangs that rev me will get one back, and usually a thumbs-up, to which they return the jesture. If we end up at a stoplight, they'll compliment the car, and I'll return the compliment saying it's always good seeing another Mustang. I passed a Roush at a stoplight the other day going the other way, revved at him and he responded by doing the same and giving me the thumbs-up. Amusingly, it was with a camaro sitting right behind him. I imagine that driver felt a little small with over 1000 hp of Mustangs thumping their chests...

The population is really different tho. Five banks and government control is a different ball game.

I had a guy in a '99 - '04 GT rev me at a light. I laughed and let him go. My wife's comment: "What a douche!",
BTW, if anyone remembers the YouTube video of the two silver Corvettes that crashed while street racing, the above occurred within a mile or so of where that happened, I'm not stupid enough to follow in their footsteps.

I remember that!
I was actually thinking of that while reading all these replies.
I honestly... don't get much. Like of anything!
I don't know if it's because my apartment sits in the middle of a ritzy area where everyone drives silver, cream, or black german cars or what but I don't think people can even see my car.
The most I got was on my way from Houston to Lafayette, an old timer in an old late '60s something with monster rear tires and a just menacing rake and appearance kept with me (going with traffic but sticking together) and in the end as we split gave each other a nod and thumbs up.
I wish I could have figured out what it was... It had the look of a 66ish Chevelle but idk...
EDIT: Ah-ha! I was close. 1966 Impala 2-dr

^^^^^This! Unless your inner child is pushing up the daisies, you should have smoked him. What good is having your newly installed supercharger if you aren't going to use it to represent your fellow mustang owners.
