yeah some dumb bitch by my house did that to me. It was at like 10pm and I had just looked down to get my garage door opener when I looked up and she was right in the middle of the f'n road. I came withing feet of hitting her. and I couldnt have driven around her without hitting the curb. I told her next time she was getting hit. And then Id sue her for damages to my car.

My daughter is almost 8 now. She tells on herself (and me) to her mom all the time. We're divorced BTW. Back when she was 5 or 6 years old, she told my ex that I was "racing" with her in the car. Boy what a mess that was.

When I FINALLY got her calmed the hell down. I explained that MAYBE just MAYBE she thinks I drive fast all the time because my Mustang is louder than her minivan is. Just a thought.

I was always getting ricers trying to race me and I wasn't trying, just shifting at 3k would set them off. I usually got a laugh and let them think they smoked me.

I love doing that. they hear my straight pipes and they think they are actually keeping up with me. Then I get on it and the look on their face is priceless.

I get looks all the time. its like a combination of anger, confusion, and amazement.

I want to get a picture of someone like that one day. lol

With all the stock F-bodys around here with no exhaust, people should really be used to loud slow cars. LOL

I'm with the thread starter 100% on this.

I live in a familly residential area, my street is a dead end and I live at the very end of that street. There's always alot of kids playing in the street so I drive at around 10-20mph when I see them and I drive the limit (35mph) when there's nobody. Well that MODA****A neighbord told me like 3 times last summer to slow down and I was at freaking 30mph !?!?!? I answered the last time with a nice finger and he dooesn't bother me anymore.

Thing is sometimes I drive faster (When there's nobody in the street) with my POS beater and the guy doesn't do anything, what a retard.

I never really get ppl telling me to slow down...every once in a while.

I have, however, seen quite a bit of hazard lights. I'll just be crusing around and next thing I know some lil car will pass me. Usually I think these people are just trying to get in front of me since they aren't going fast at all....then next thing you know the throw on the hazards....hazards=teh win
