A guy in a Camry tried to race me in my 4-series. I told him he would win. Game over.

As someone who owned a Fox Mustang, I can agree it gets old really quick. Especially those particular Mustangs, which have such a reputation, especially to the type of idiots who do that kind of thing. Ugh.

I’ve never had that experience in a car but on my CBR it happened every single night. I used to bartend in San Francisco and my commute to the beach at 2:00 am was filled with people at lights wanting to race stoplight to stoplight. Everything from giant supercharger poking out the hood tubbed Camaro’s to super motard…

I just picked up a 2013 Fiat Abarth (I traded in my Mini) and it’s a blast to drive. No one challenges you to a race...but due to the aggressive exhaust, everyone one wants to know what it is. It’s a cool conversation piece.

Agreed. I have a WRX. A Focus RS tried to race me on Monday I 40. I was doing 75 when he came up on me and aggressively tried to get me to race him. Dude, I’m in my mid 30's and you can smoke me. I literally have nothing to prove with my CVT shifting skills..

I’ve had a 17 GT for 7 months now, in that time span I’ve had like maybe 4 people try to race me, and I’m in southern California. Go for it man grab you one, such a great car.

especially since you can buy it online, branded for pet fish. same 500 mg pills though. not bad to have onhand if you know you get chronic sinus infections.

I think it’s demographic - near me there are new mustangs everywhere, literally see 10-15 on the 12 mile drive to work. Nobody cares, so drivers are left alone for the most part.

had to abandon the crotch rocket for the same reason. every joe shro in a mustang wants to race. no matter how much i prayed to allah for the strength to ignore it, i always found myself travelling 970 billion mph and towards certain death within 3 secs of the light change. those fuckers need to know.

I will reciprocate “spirited driving” (YMMV) with a lot of cars. It just happens that a lot of them these days end up being Mustang GTs.

Driving a lowered 2000 Civic Si with a loud exhaust for a daily garners all kinds of ill attention. It’s not a fast car, it’s just a fun daily that is nice in the bends and gets good mileage. It’s no race car. But I will be damned if I go a week without some asshat pulling up beside me on the interstate to try and…

That’s what middle fingers are for.

I think it takes something a little more understated to avoid the attention. Pony cars and other obvious sports cars scream for attention, while in my experience M, AMG, RS etc are mostly overlooked - especially sedans.

I get this all the time in my Acura TL, of all cars. I’m just trying to drive to work and, all of a sudden, I’m apparently in a race with someone next to me in their FR-S or their WRX. News to me, I’m just going 5mph over and listening to a podcast. The most annoying part is the people who drive directly next to you…

Preach, my previous fun car was a hotted up 66 Malibu and I would be rich if every asshat that asked me to do a burnout at a light or tried to race me gave me a dollar. The answer to the burnout question was...”are you going to buy me a new set of tires?” Followed by them grumbling, glaring and trying their best to…

^^^ This!^^^

I’ve had bikes for like 10 years and this is a pretty constant thing too. Especially when I was in my college town.

amiable dipshits

He’s trying to call it “a bad Malibu wagon” but the drugs Chevy’s ad agency gives the people they rope into this haven’t quite worn off yet.

“Thanks for coming.”
