A little tired of the harassment on the road...
#63
Mr. Snotnose kid pulls up at a light next to me in daddy's BMW or some clapped out tuner with an ironing board wing and coffee can muffler tips....he revs his engine and makes "let's see what you can do" eye contact.
I rev my mighty Coyote, get some gurgling out of my GT500 axlebacks, make eye contact with him....I fiddle with my shifter, glance at the cross-light as if I'm timing when the yellow turns red and for when my light goes green. Mr. Snotnose sees me assuming the position and gets a boner now, figuring the race is on.
Our light turns green....he screams off in first or low gear while I proceed slowly and normally, and I let him beat me by a country mile. He ends up looking like a friggin' moron, and usually flips me the bird at the next light.
Like I give a crap.

Maybe someone else from NJ can chime in. It is the land of luxury sedans. I swear every 5th car I see on the highway is an A4. Mustangs are few and far between let alone a 5.0 or even a Shelby. I have never seen a Boss 302 on the road. I've had my car over 2 years and have maybe seen 5 Shelbys in that time... Probably on their way to a car show. I even have scions and BRZ's try to get me to take a bite. It's not like the old fox body days... I really don't think a lot of people in my area know what a 5.0 is or even care.

When someone revs up on I usually floor it and get going as fast as I can. That way they are behind me and I don't have to deal with them anymore. I won't go past like 120 on the street tho for safety reasons

Every time there's an earthquake in Texas, the USGS calls me to make sure it wasn't me starting my car before reporting it.

I drive the Garden State Parkway for 30 miles each way everyday and I concur. Seems like all I see is those 4 rings in my rear view mirrorand very few Mustangs. Its wall to wall SUV’s. Racing is not much of an optionsince in rush hour traffic I am lucky to get out of 3rd gear. Thoughthat doesn’t stop some from trying to get me to bite.

I've stomped on 2 different 2013/14 GT500's with my 2010 GT500 and last time at the track my wife's 5.0 convertible was running faster times than a 14 GT500 convertible that was running drag radials.
I've seen quite a few GT500's and supercharged 5.0's have a tough time getting moving from a dig. I know I really have to focus to get a good launch.
I've found that carrying a big stick isn't much use if you don't know how to swing it.

Been in NJ my whole life and I see mustangs once in a while. Mostly V6s, an occasional GT and on rare occasions Shelbys. Only once has someone tried to play with me. Some asshat in a 2 door Mercedes was driving like an idiot on the parkway. He slowed down abruptly to line up next to me and looked over. He was tapping on the gas waiting to see if I would play. I didn't want to since he looked and drove like a douchebag. I shook my head at him and he sped off.
MB and BMW drivers seem to be the worst driving offenders. My guess is that the vast majority of these cars are leased and the driver just turns it in and gets a new one. It's especially true of MB's due to their high cost and abysmal depreciation. Hardly anyone "owns" a new Benz.

I am not bothered in the least by your petulant little mocking and insults. If you want to kill yourself driving dangerously, go ahead, I really don’t care. In my past career I worked in medicine and have been in the ER many times with blood all over me from patients who chose to drive like this. I left medicine and now I am a successful attorney. If you or others injure or harm me or any of my friends and family due to this dangerous and negligent operation of a car on public roads, I will file charges against you, you will serve prison time and I will sue you for everything you’re worth. I’ve heard a lot of “I’m so sorry, I never meant to hurt them” in the court as the judge is passing sentence on comedians just like you. Have fun in prison, but of course this would never happen to you…only other people, right? Have a nice day.
