I recently left the movies on a quiet night with my girlfriend and turned onto a main road that was desolate and see an old school Impala and Integra pulled over on the side of the road. I think nothing of it and keep going, then stop at the light. I start going slowly and in my mirrors see them approaching rapidly, and they both pull up on either side of me. They were very close and the Integra kept dropping down gears to get ready to race.

I was getting nervous because they were so close to me and there were two of them, but I just looked straight ahead and told my girlfriend to ignore them. Fortunately, after seeing I wouldn't bite, they both decided to floor it anyway and were out of my sight. Bye! Such foolish behavior.

I've also had many, many minivans and SUVs try to catch up to me whenever I'm driving spiritedly. I guess they get mad cause I'm having fun? I took a turn off a main road once and I swear this SUV that was pursuing me tried to do the same thing and almost tipped! I've never seen a vehicle turn so violently and wrecklessly before! It was surreal. They gave up and let me be after that... Guess they scared the shit out of themselves.

I had that same thing happen to me in my old car. It was raining and I was just trying to get home fast cause I had to use the restroom and this really old corolla was trying to hang with me and spun out into a ditch trying to match my speed on the freeway entrance which had a winding turn lol. Funniest thing I've ever seen

I have been surprised by how infrequently this happens to me, but when it does, I just pretend to not see them. You can tell that really gets to them, lol. And if they keep at it, I will look over and give them a thumbs down while shaking my head.

Had two young teenagers in their mommy's Challenger try to race me on an extremely crowded highway outside of Charlotte. Gave them the thumbs down and shook my head to show my lack of interest. They stomped it anyway and tore off down the road, cutting off people left and right. Inbred idiots.

I had a Hyundai spooling his turbos behind me as if he wanted to give me a run today and gave me a thumbs up, I just rolled my windows up and kept driving.
