Every time I drive her, my friend. Every time. You get used to it. You pick and choose who to "play" with. Most folks I see/meet are good people. You'll get the occasional ***** here and there...but for the most part, good folks who just "like" our cars.

Enjoy the vehicle and get used to the attention

 

Thanks Z. Happened again today...repeat offender. New-ish e550... And I've seen this guy before. This one goes out of his way to tailgate me until I move over. As I get to the other lane he usually paces me, matching speed and always floors it/paddle shifts aggressively in and out of BUSY traffic almost like he's trying to get my attention. So today I'm coming out of the coffee shop to merge onto the highway, it's a Friday ....no traffic...so I give it a bit of gas to merge. This guy...same E550 just happens to be right behind me at my rear 1/4 coming up fast. The guy gets around me... His car is very fast by the way...cuts in front nearly taking out my front end to make a left turn from my lane. My car is VERY recognizable and like I said before you see the same people and I am beginning to believe this particular guy looks for me. But this time I got his plate. I called the agressive driving hotline to report him and the dispatcher said that I have to come down to the station to file a report. They won't do anything over the phone. I just have to avoid this guy now whenever I see him.

 

No one messes with my GTCS except other Mustangs. 95 percent v6. No offense to anyone.

Everyone and their brother messed with my v6. Oh well.

 

Happened to me the other day but it was some idiot in a pickup truck.....I did the exact same thing.....

 

Happens to me all the time. Cars that have no business trying to race a Mustang try me daily. I try to ignore them. I mostly succeed.

 

Gotta bite once in a while....the horse has to stretch its legs occassionally!

 

Lol what. I'd never change my driving style just because some douches want to race. Just because they initiate doesn't mean you have to engage, but sure, sometimes I'll play.

 

When I had my 2000 I can't count how many times I was at a stop and some punk in a Honda would rev his cute little car to try and get me going. I'd always give a nod and let the let the young man beat me off the line. I don't need a surcharge. Even if I was dumb enough to street race I'd always think about not knowing what was under his hood.

Yesterday I was heading out with me wife to go get dinner and at a light in front of me there were three cars packed with punks. One of the cars the wheels had an extreme camber. I've never seen anything like it. It made me laugh. One of the fine young gents stuck his head out of the car window and looked at me and screamed like a mad man. It was actually kind of funny. I lost it and flipped him the bird and drove away.

 

Be careful. Remember the guy pretending to race you might be an officer. Happened to me traveling through Ohio. The idiot paced me and every time I passed somebody I would move over and the jerk would squeeze in behind me and be dangerously close/tailgate me. After finally having enough of his crap I floored it since I was only two miles from the State Line...and guess who got pulled over? A-hole! And it cost me $327.00 and the local "judge" didn't blink an eye when I explained what happened.

 

That is a slimy move by a cop. It should have thrown out and the cop should be in trouble for creating a dangerous situation.

 

Hindsight is 20/20, but an option would have been to move to the right lane and go under the limit. If the car is still up your butt, call 911 and report a road rage incident in progress.

 

Strangely since my off road pipe and new mufflers went on, I have had very little in the way of problems. People know it is modded, they just have no idea how much.

 

Since reading this thread, I've made some changes in my attitude and how I drive my Mustang. A lot more relaxed now. Still have some jerks, but they will always be there, but the Mustang still does what I want it to do.

 

Since I've installed the supercharger, I see less "jerks" out there. One guy was about to do something stupid the other day but changed his mind when my blow off valve opened up at part throttle to bleed off boost.

 

never mind. I deleted my comments.

 

What ******** on the road today, but you just have to ignore them and just remember half the time you would whip their asses on the track, my real pet-peeve is just people that can seem to drive with any common sense.

 

Nobody really messes with me until a couple of weeks ago. I was on my way home from a car show, doing the speed limit in the middle lane, and some kid in a V6 Mustang started to pass me, and just as he was even with me, he gunned it, and took off down the freeway. Sorry kid, I only get 8mpg as it is, and I ain't wasting gas on you.

 

Don't forget, 8MPG of using the good stuff.




That's pretty funny!

 

What a beautiful machine! Love your car, JS

 

God, that sounds like the end of the world, the Visigoths sacking Rome, Patton's tanks rolling over the *****, Apollo 11 at lift-off, Mount St. Helens erupting........
