Default Anyone Else Sick of Civics, Neons and Elcipses Trying To Race Them?

Whenever I am driving down the hwy or just down the street, some fool with a coffee can muffler and stickered-up car has to edge me or ride my a$$. VERY rarely, would I consider a rce ie. 3am, no one else on the hwy....maybe. These fools are pulling this garbage during 4pm traffic? Is this happening to anyone else out there? Are you as frustrated as I am? To make matters worse, if I ignore them, they keep comming at me....ridding my bumper, cutting me of etc. I finally had it today and confronted one of these punks at a stoplight....jackhandle in my hand (he kept cutting in front of me and I had to slam my brakes and the person behind me nearly rear-ended me!) Whelp, that's my gripe....just wondering if anyone else has experienced this level of BS from ricers.

The other Honda drivers out here in S. Calif. seem to know the hardware well enough that they don't want to be embarassed. This behavior seems especially true of those driving the most highly modded Hondas. Same thing with people with high-end Porsches, M3's, and Vettes--their drivers don't seem to have the need to prove anything.

However, the Eclipses are often a nuisance, especially when they cut in front suddenly. This behavior is not limited to young male drivers, for the record--all ages and both sexes of Eclipse owners are too often annoying in this same way. I haven't seen such driving since I last visited Autopia at Disneyland!

Ohhhh this happens to me a lot too! Actually last friday i was driving on the expressway and i was already going 70 MPH, had some stupid Golf GTI on the far left lane going really slow, until i got up next to him. Once i did he accelerated forward as if to "race". I was like . I slow down a bit, and he slows down and does it again. I was like WTF!!! and changed lanes behind a truck that was going slower and then changed lanes again to get away from him. All i need is for the cop that was behind us to freaking think i was 'racing'.

I've had a couple people rev me. I try to ignore them. I have nothing to prove to a civic, v6 mustang, or any other car.
