Maybe it's just me...

I'll be driving down any residential street, most typically doing the speed limit or 5 over, (I try not to go fast down suburbia because of the kids.) And some mom or dad will always scream "SLOW DOWN" in some form or another. One day I'm at a clear long path with solid houses on either side and kids playing in the driveways. I'm doing 35 and the Lexus in front of me is doing 50. Speeds right past a group of little kids with a loving mom. I drive past her and she gets up and screams "SLOW DOWN" at me.
After I got my short ram it got much worse. That sucker GROWLS bad. You can hear it from a mile away and people just assume I'm going fast because my engines loud when i hit the gas.

One day I'm just cruising out by my house and theres a few kids in some guys lawn. The guy comes sprinting out of his garage and yells at the absolute top of his lungs (you guessed it) "SLOW DOWN ASSHOLE"... It scared the crap out of me. When I heard him I swerved and almost hit a parked car. I was doing the speed limit. After that one I snapped, stopped and told him how shit went down and that I knew where he lived.
But I have dozens of these stories and all the time I'm getting moms mouthing slow down or something along those lines and I get evil stares and mombles out of all the dads. Most of the time I'm not even going fast, I'm barely over or doing the speed limit. It's the image and the noise my car makes and all these assholes come running out of their houses to bitch at me and I'm not doing a damn thing wrong.

Does this happen to anybody else?!?

some dumb bitch yelled at me for doing the speed limit Her kids were in the street. and i stopped and said im doing 25. She was like when i was a kid we didnt drive that fast with kids around. I said when i was a kid my parents taught me not to play in the street. she started yelling some more and her kids had gone inside so i roasted the tires in my moms suburban in front of her house

i've had it happen a million times. back when i had my mustangs and camaros w/flowmasters, people would always say the same thing, and now w/my rsx and my '69 stang the same thing. it's always suburbia, and always some homely looking bastard or byaatch w/their kids playing on the streets. doesn't matter if your speeding or not.

I was driving down a street doing the 25mph speed limit (in the spyder) and some dork watering his flowers yells "Slow it down". I thought, fuck him. I went around the block again and when I got next to him I stopped. Told him to fuck off and die then I took the car to 4K rpms and dropped the clutch just to piss him off. That worked - he started screaming something, but I couldn't tell what it was over the engine and distance I was putting on.

All I do is remember which house it was and make sure that I am extra loud or extra "fast" when I go by it again...

Yeah, I have had people to yell at me to slow down, two times really stick out to me.

The first time I was driving down my street and at the time I was driving my 84 Dodge Daytona, looks fast but is really just an average 4 banger. Anyhow; I am going 25 down the street when this guy gives me this look and signals that I should slow down. I just rolled my eyes. He continually gets worse until he is pissed and yells at me every damn time I drive by. Finally one day I stopped and pulled into his driveway and got out of my car. I then said hey asshole, what’s your problem? He says that I need to slow my ass down. I then told him that I only drive 25mph down that street and last time I checked that was the speed limit. All he did was say that doesn't mean you have to go 25. I give him this look and he calls me a damn punk. So I said bite my ass, got in my car put the car in reverse, brought up the rpm to about 5000 and dumped the clutch and left some nice rubber in his driveway. It may have been childish but I was only 17 at the time and he pissed me off.

The second time I was driving down my street in a different town. As I pass this house this lady stares at me as I drive past and then walks up to my house to confront me. This was when I had the LeBaron. The LeBaron was a distinct sounding car and didn't sound like a 4banger and it was a little louder that some cars plus it just looks fast. I was only going about 25 or 30 at the MOST. Anyhow; she walks up to me and has a damn fit that I drive that fast. I told her that I was only going 25 and she said yeah right you had to be doing like 50. I said lady you have no concept of speed. You can have a damn cop radar me sometime and you will see that only go 25 down that street. She said fine, maybe I will. I then said alright, now that it’s settled get your Susie homemaker ass off my property and go back to watching Opra. I then closed the garage and went inside.

I just get so sick of people that are stupid and then get mad at you because they have no concept of what they are talking about. I can't stand people like that.

yeah, some people don't even understand the concept of speed, only noise/looks. i was following my friend back to his house a while back, and he had told me not to speed (25). we got to the drive and he's goin like 40 in his giant ass conversion van, and i figure, well, he lives here, so they aint gonna yell at him, but i dont, so i hang back at 25. the thing was, i was running steel tubes with glasspacks in the middle, not exactly quiet to start with, but on top of that, i didn't have the vacuum line to the tranny hooked up, so 25 was still first gear (auto), hence loud as hell. my friend had told me that if anyone did bitch, just :D and :finger4:
well, thats what i ended up doing, stupid dyke (or maybe her girlfriend, she really was a lesbo) calls the cops, tells them i was literally sliding through the corners and nearly hit some kids playing along side the road. it was really funny though in the end, cause it turns out, there are no kids under 17 till the end of the road, and the cop asked her where i was sliding, followed by "where are the skid marks?" cop said i could've pressed charges, but i'm much more content with :finger: every time i see her.

:silly2:

Exactly what i was trying to get at.

These little faggots that have never known speed and have probably driven the pintos until the age of 25, when they dumped the POS and got themselves a brand spankin' new minivan just dont get it. they've got no concept of what we do. Even if you don't speed down the street, they think just cuz you look fast or sound fast means you'll go fast. at least around them.
I'd bet anything that the people that used to drag back in the days of the Impala and the Shelbys aren't the ones screaming. I've talked to a friend of mine who used to drag back in the detriot days. He says anytime the new generation of racers drive by he just smiles and gets all nostalgic. It's always the conservative little nerdy punks that think going over 70 on the highway is a cardinal sin and they'd NEVER EVER hit that accelerator if they were withink 5 miles of the speed limit. It's those people you get behind that do 22 in a 30 (and it's always the one lane thing)
...Or it's the concerned mothers. But if it's a mother, she shouldn't expect every single person on the road to go extra slow especially just for her. If she's concerned about her kids, put 'em in a cage. Then the only people she EVER yells at are the kids with the nice or souped up cars. Never the businessman with the new Lexus. Just us.

I hate assholes. I carry a bat in my trunk now and if I get a slow down, I just take simple not of the house and mailbox placement and when they wake up the next morning they have an extra flat (or removed entirely) mailbox. Also, if your looking for targets for halloween TP runs, they make the best ones. then you can always spray "speed up" or something with shaving cream so it never comes off. "Speed up" is also a really fun thing to yell immedietly after they yell slow down. I've adopted that habit recently. It gets them even more pissed. lol, its great.

another dirty little bitch strikes again:

This time I'm driving down the street completely minding my own business. I'm doing the speed limit because I've got a huge dog house hanging out the back of my trunk pathetically roped in with like kite string. (LOL, my girlfriends mom bought it thinking it was a dog cage...)
And this stupid bitch out getting her mail sees me car and waits and watches to make sure i was some kid before she yells slow down. I thought at first that she was just looking for the sake of looking so i give her a smile and a nod and she give me this "im a dirty fucking hoe" look and an icy stare and screams "slow down". This would have been just another whore I could have ignored but she watched to make sure I was a kid before she said it. It was so obvious. I tried to get out and tell her how shit went down but my g\f wouldnt let me. So that was the breaking point. I slam the breaks, put it in first, floor it and drop the clutch @ 6500 and peeled out all the way through 3rd as I flipped her off until she was out of sight. Then coming back I put it in neutral and revved like hell and proceeded to keep it in second and floor it for a good 1/4 mile or so just to piss that dumb bitch off. I got some evil looks from her neighbors after doing that one. And every time afterwards I make sure to take extra care to go as fast as I possibly can past her house.
They just don't learn.

That's the idea, make them think twice about ever telling someone to slow down again :D

I cant STAND THAT SHIT!!!

Back in the day when I had my 1973 MGB-GT, nobody ever said anything cause it was a classic, even though it was way louder than the civic is.

The most memorable time in the civic was when I was camping, and went to the next campground down to fill up the water jug, and the speed limit there is 5mph, so im going like 10 and this bitch yells slow down, so im like shit, I am going fast. So I slow down and am going 5 now, and pass her camp again and shes like "still isnt 5" so I yell "fuck you bitch" and proceed to go fill up the water. Only problem is, I gotta pass by her camp once more cause its a loop and shes camped right by the beginning of it. So im bumping the beats wating for the damn kids to get out of the way and shes like "now thats 5" and im like "Ill show you 5, so i revved it up to 5, and dropped it" Later that night, I rode my mountain bike on the 6 mile loop that I go up the road from my camp, come down a trail, and ends at her camp, so I decided to take a shortcut RIGHT THROUGH HER CAMP SITE, I did a couple of skids to kick up dust and im like "now this is 5" She knew it was me, cause the bike was on the roof of the car in the incident earlier"

Anyhow, I am sure there is some other BS, or will be other bs to come, but as of now, I cant think of it.

These assholes bitch at us for going the speed limit. Then they turn around and do 10-15 over on their own road.

But if their are kids around, I always bring it way down to almost 5mph to be curtious and safe. I don't know what I would do with myself if I killed a kid.......

But I could live with it if I killed one of those bitches who always yells at me.

Missouri has a high % concentration of bitches... I know, my ex was from there and my old boss was from there. They say things without thinking AT ALL!


My advice: move far away.


Hawaii or New Zealand...:D

noones said shit to me in my trans am or T-bird

other than some big assholes going to jump me for drifting around them *they were taking up the whole parking lot and not moving, so I went around*

The mustang got the cops called on it all the time, they would come by, ask me to turn it on, and say "well, it runs, good enough for me" because all they could do is if it was abandoned.

ahh i never got much yellin at with the Nova...

but one time comes to mind...


on my way to TV's house a long time ago. i pulled up to a light next to this old woman in a Mercedes. The nova at the time was no wehere near loud, but it did make noise... so i looked over and gave a friendly smile, and the woman looks over to me and says "you're car is TOO loud... "


the Car had STOCK exhaust manifolds at the time. and stock mufflers.


so being being offended.. cause i actually smiled at her and was trying to be nice... i put the damn car into 1st and proceeded to fill the air around us with smoke.... i spun the tires untill the smoke started to enter her car... and i could see her window go up... light went green and i let off the brake and smoked them through most of the intersection. then continued on at my normal slow poke manner.

she flew up next to me.. her cabin still a tad hazzy hahaha and she started yelling things to me... i couldnt hear her cause my car is TOO loud... no wait... i could, i just ignored her. she stopped following me after i hit 80mph... apparently she thought i was some freak.

ugh. But now i have the Truck, so if anybody yells at me to slow down (which i dont see happening i drive my truck totally differently i do the Nova). i mark the location and come back and do a Lawn Job... 4x4 style.

Luckily for home owners, they havent pissed me off yet. But for some reason the Local Country Club keeps getting repeat visits from me and my lawn 'care' business.

I think hes mad cause he drives a shitbox with like 5 kids and a ugly ass wife.


:flash:

thats reason enough to make anybody mad... but don't release your aggression on other people buddy! Go talk to a shrink. I'll bet all he needs is some good psychological help and a divorce.

hehe. Some people just need to crawl back into whatever hole they came out of...:bathroom:

HAHA

MY MOM DOES THAT...we dont live in like the housing developments where all the houses look the same..but we are still suberban and everytime someone goes too fast my mom stands up on the front porch and screams..im like MOM IT"S THE EXHAUST...IT MAKES IT SOUNNND LOUD AND FAST BUT IT ISNT

shes such a moron

but one night was the funniest...a guy went by in his MR2 and she goes SLOW DOWN ASSHOLE and he fishtails it around...rolls down the window and pelts her with paint balls.. i was laughing so hard

LMAO! That's a great idea. I've got me a $500 sniper PB gun. I could have a damn lot of fun with that.

but in all honesty, my friend did that except reverse. He'd sit on his porch and shoot people that drove too fast and they'd get pissed as hell and he had the cops called on him a few times but he always talked his way out of it and hid the gun somewhere good where they couldnt find it and said they had no proof. for some reason they repeatedly bought this (LMAO) since there was a lack of witnesses. but one day he shot and hit a guy in the face and it tore up the guys eye and my friend wound up in jail for a few months. effective, but stupid and dangerous. BUT FUCKING FUNNY AS HELL

yo Cyprus106 where in missouri are you from? im in springfield

OMG!!! Thats the funniest shit i have ever heard! Out here i have gotten screamed at a lot, My AEM CAI growls so loud! and everyone thinks i am going fast! I dont even have an exhaust! And there is this one time i remember vividly, where his kids were playing on their lawn, and the dad comes running OUT into the street infront of my car! And he said i was going 50! If i was going 50, I would have hit him! I was going no more than 30 MPH! And then he started cursing me out! So now, i got funkin PISSSSED! So i got out of the car, and i went up to his wife and told him that she is a MORON! and OMG, he got so pissed it was madd funny, i was waiting for him to HIT me so i could sue his ass!!!! My girlfriend was so pissed off at me cause she was in the car, but o well, he diddt hit me, he just called the cops. I waited for the cops, and i got to tell my side of the story first, and then they believed what i said, and i diddt tell them i called his wife a moron, and the believed me, and took the guy in his house and they told me to leave. I don't know where it came from calling his wife a Moron, but it was funny, i couldnt stop laughing! :) but it made me pissed when he started calling me a dirty mexican, when i am indian, but i look like a spanish person.....

HAHAHA, I retract my last statement, me and DMC12 were rallying around some back roads, this big ass red Dodge ram cutsoff DMC12 instead of yelding like hes sposto, and he yells at him and me "YOU BETTER SLOW DOWN!!!" Well, he flips around and trys to follow, so we gun it, well, hes on our asses, almost tripple the speedlimit, on a cellphone, in a big truck....right...WE need to slow down :rolleyes:

I've noticed something... with my undercar lights, I get a lot less respect from just about everybody over the age of 25. Old people will ALWAYS do bitch shit to me and stuff...

Friday night, I'm driving down this 2 lane street with my friend in the passengers seat. The 2 lanes ae about to merge into one and I go to pass this truck that was doing WAY under the speed limit. There's still a whole lot of time left before it goes to 1 lane but as soon as this asshole (in a little white pickup) pulls into my lane, so I pull into the other and he straddles both of the lanes until it goes to one and I can't pass and then flips me off and I hear "slow down" out his window. So we wait until the 1 lane turns back into 2 then we pass him and once we get a good distance past I flip him off out the sunroof and the drivers side window and my friend flips him off out the passenger side. LMAO, it was funny as hell

We just got a kick out of it then we saw the stop light turn red in front of us with the truck trying hard to catch up. I was gonna turn right on the red (legal in MO) but this van gets up there and blocks the path so I do a quick e-brake turn and shoot down a back road. This fucking dumbass stops in the middle of 4 lanes of traffic (oncoming 2, our lane 2) and tries to back up in that heavy traffic. Out the back window I see some unlucky bastard plow into the back of him and I'm laughing my ass off cus that bitch got what he deserved (no, he didnt get hurt. I checked the paper. He did get a BIGASS ticket. He wouldnt have got shit but he backed up in the road...) And then I relize something. I've got the only green undercar lights in the city. lol, oh well...

Im pretty sure its legal anywhere unless its posted.

eeh... I've been in states where you can't turn right on red. If I could remember which ones I'd tell you. I know I've seen some out of state drivers not turn right on red a few times before... Maybe it was Colorado?

In New York City, you are NOT allowed to make right on red! No exceptions, they have a cop on every block, so its not like you can get away with it anyways..... but in the suberbs, you are allowed to unless it says NO TURN ON RED or something......

odd...very odd

You think that's odd? Over here you can not drive when the light is red. Full stop. I still can't quite figure out how it works over there where most of you live. Really, I've seen numerous times people mention turning left or right when the light is red. Sounds ridiuculous to me. Here (and probably the whole of Europe) you cannot turn on red unless there's a green arrow on in the traffiv light. When the arrow lights up with the main light red, you can make the turn but have to give way to everyone. If it's on with the main light green, you can make the turn and have the priority. Phew. Your regulations sound weird. :D

hahaha, probally why alot of us ignore them :p

illegal in d.c. unless a sign is posted that says you can turn right on red.

In downtown Charleston, SC it's legal to turn left on red! (should I mention that almost everyroad in downtown is one-way?)

LOL:flash:

Left on a red is legal in california and oregon as long as its from a one way onto another one way.

ALES, we are required to make a complete stop before turning right at a red light. We must yield to all on-coming traffic (we can't just pull out then merge... we wait until there is an opening). Sorry for any confusion:smoker2:

LOL, I know people that just straight turn left on red when there's noone else around. Frankly, it scares the shit out of me. It's all old people too so there wont be cars for a few hundred feet and they'll start turning and it takes them a good 45 seconds to get all the way through the turn cuz their slow as hell and by that time the cars almost on top of them
