Me too. They're usually not too bright.
One guy in a Charger came up beside me and started pacing me (4 lane blvd). I didn't even look his way. Had we 'floored it', a traffic cam was not more than 1/4 mile away at the stoplight. Would have been ticket city. doi
I have my fun on deserted two lane mountain twisties.

I had a kid do that to me for 3 straight lights. At the third light he gestured to me to roll down the window. I said told him I don't race. He laughed. He says he would have a chance. He just wanted to hear me rev the engine. I revved the motor and his buddies went nuts and gave me a bunch of thumbs up gestures. Not what I expected.

I get this a lot.

I live in a town where almost everyone drives big diesels. They like to black smoke cars with windows down, so I tend to have to accelerate a little to stay out of the way of their pipes....but other than that most don't try to do anything too crazy.

Now times I'm on the highway I get some kids who get right next to me and I can hear their little 4bangers revving hard. I just smile, shake my head no, and continue on my way.....

Maybe that's why some people stick snake badges on their not-snake cars. They're not posers, they just want a little peace.
LOVE it!

And yes, no one wants a piece....

I get this non stop in both my Shelby and the Roush, of course I live in OKC and everybody here now has the "Fast & Furious" syndrome thanks to Discovery Channels "Street Outlaws" show. I also get a lot of people talking to me at red lights and asking "Is that the new Shelby" and asking me to get on it a little; as long as the road is clear I give them a show!

I get everything from 4 bangers to trucks to the occasional Lamborghini or Ferrari on nice weekends.

When I was a dumb teenager, I used to lurch forward when they were looking at me and revving and they would take off through the red light. After someone got into an accident, I felt guilty and never did it again.

I had a stupid cop run up on me the other day trying to catch me speeding. I thought he was gonna run into me. I hurried up and got over and he stayed even with me. Rolled down the window and told me that I was speeding. He must have been coming up as I was merging onto the interstate. I caught up to traffic very quickly but never pushed it over 80. I didn't give him any lip since I was sporting illegal tint and an expired inspection sticker. He seemed really disappointed that he didn't catch me speeding.
