Votech'd AP1 trying to cruise...
So, these are stories from yesterday. I left my place to get some errands taken care of. Lucky for me, the highway is only a block north from home. I get to the intersection, right before the access road and spot this dark grey colored RX-8 at the light waiting to turn. Now, my car wasn't completely warmed up and I was running late so I just took it easy turning onto the access road. As I approach the entrance ramp, I hear(and see) the RX-8 coming up fast behind me. Mind you, this is a two lane access road and there was no one ahead of or next to me. He proceeds to come up behind me and ride my ass so close that his headlights disappear under my trunk. I can hear him revving nonstop, as he had a really loud exhaust. I figured he'd pass me but no dice. He had other plans. We'll we jump onto the highway which is pretty busy for the early afternoon. I moved into the open far lane and watch the temp on my serial gauge. Almost there. He stays on my ass and is still revving. There is a spot open on the lane next to me so I move over. There is traffic ahead of me so I figure this guy will just drive by in true ricer fashion. He does, kinda. He floors it about a car ahead of me and slows back down next to me. He starts revving again. I realize how glad I am at this point that I took off my invidia V2. That loud exhaust got so annoying and this RX-8's was not anywhere better. My OEM AP2 exhaust masks the 10psi waiting to be set free. He realizes I'm not really interested and decides to get behind me again. On my ass and revving, I decide I need to end this. I look at my temp gauge and it reads 185. Here we go. I move into the lane he was in and downshift into 4th. His lane clears and he downshifts too. He takes off and attempts to pull away. Nope. I press on the gas and fly by him as I shift to fifth, maybe 3 cars ahead. I let off and he pulls up next to me. I figure a thumbs up or a fly by. Not even close, he starts revving again and moves towards my lane. F that, I don't need to get sideswiped by a sore loser. I slow down just a bit and shift to third. He doesn't even wait, I hear him downshift and accelerate. I floor it again and this time scream by him as I go into 4th. I ring fourth out and hit 5th looking into my rear view. Bus lengths between us. I drop into sixth, as my exit is coming up, and cruise back down to the speed limit. This jackass RX-8 hauls ass up to my trunk again and rides my ass until I exit. Still revving. Why the non-stop revving?
Needless to say, I wasn't late.
Now fast forward to the evening. It's about 10pm and I'm about to drive to work. I decide to let the car warm up this time before I leave. I hop onto the highway, as usual, and come up to a nice 65mph. The S is just warmed up so I just want to get to work and finish my shift. As I cruise down the highway, I can hear another annoyingly loud exhaust. I speed up to 70, to make sure I pass whatever it is and I do. It's a primered black del sol. Ugly as can be with a jacked up body and even louder exhaust than the RX-8. I pass him up at a steady 70 and I hear it again. The loud ringing of a fart can exhaust. He's floored it, I can imagine but he doesn't really move from my rear view mirror. I eventually catches up to my blazing 70 mph and stays next to me. Lol. Again, I've got no interest in running. Judging by his length of time catching up, I doubt he was worth my time. I continue cruising about and he revs and revs. Ugh, not this again. I roll down my window and motion him a no with my hand and to go ahead. He responds by driving into my lane. WTF!! Twice in the same day. Why me? So I shift to fourth as I give him the middle finger salute. I can hear him for those brief seconds, as I pull away, trying to catch up. Again bus lengths. No big surprise. I got a good distance away and moved into the far right lane. Back to the speed limit and 2 exits away, I continue my drive. As I come up to the exit before mine, here comes the del sol again. He's about three lanes over and at WOT. Damn it's loud. He's still not going that's fast, no surprise there. But he decides that to top his ricer fly by, he is on a cut me off and exit. I had to slam on the brakes because he was gonna hit me. Jerk off. I don't understand it. I got to work in one piece and thankfully without any incident.
**Of course these stories are that of fiction and if it did occurr, it occurred on the mean streets of Mexico**

sounds like an average day here in central FL too bro. almost identical. lol
the problem is, most people just let them ride on by acting like dumbshits and then they think they have intimidated or won somehow by the other driver not responding. this is an error. I am like a nomad Lion, if a ricer/baby cub tries me, they get mauled... repeatedly, over and over until they get the point that there is always someone faster and to quit driving around town like an asshat causing drama on the road. i have taken care of a couple tegs, 350zs, a mazdaspeed3, an rx8, and a WS6 trans am that way.
i have yet to come across a ricer acting a fool with something substantial under the hood or at least something that doesnt fall behind in the amount of time it takes me to run out of 1 gear. As soon as they hear the SOS stg2 under the hood, they say, "woopsi". lol

seriously! i did this on a larger scale when i had my beat to hell rx7 with 521whp. little rich shits would get m3's for graduation from their mommy and daddy and then go out picking races against guys who were working and going to school to even own a car. until theycaome across me one day; i would massacre them, then they toned it down a bit and quit trying to always start shit on the road with zero knowledge about driving or etiquette. its just rediculous.
there is a diff between "equally matched racing" and being a ricer by, A. picking a race against a known slower car, or B. Acting a fool to another car that has you whooped before the race even begins. its just childish and gay. lol
so, nomad lion ideology it is for me.

Thank you sir. What's funny now is that my girl is driving the S because her TDI beetle is having A/C issues. With these daily 100+ degree days, I don't want her driving around without A/C. She tells me different cars are always pulling up and revving or trying to talk to her. LOL
