Yeah... that ruined it

I used to love my DSM.. but all the mitsu owners in my city are complete jerks. I mean all.. except for one (who is my cousin). The point is.. because of all of this, it almost feels degrading driving my car. I hate getting revs from some jerk in his 3000gt when all I'm trying to do is drive my nine year old sister to her piano lesson. I just wanted to drive a car that looks great and have comfort knowing I can smoke a bunch of cars without even having to do so. I just wanted to enjoy my car, like the first day I put her into 1st gear.

I think I'm going to hang up these set of keys for a 180sx. I know this is kind of pointless, but I just wanted everybody to know that I don't need people to know my car is badass, I already know it's badass.

That doesn't seem....valid enough, so people rev on you? That doesn't mean you have to rev back or take it offensively. Im sure there's an underlying reason why you're leaving, right?

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

Dont use people reving there cars on you for an excuse, thats a very poor excuse!!! For a while on the highway i would race alot of people until one day i raced an undercover cop and got busted!!!. After that i let cars pass me and try to egg me on all the time.

Honestly, in a way, I understand exactly what you're saying...It get's really old everytime you drive somewhere and someone in the most random car will start reving at you and trying to race. Yesterday it was a girly celica and today a dualie it get's old really quickly. I just ignore them and pretty much only race if I know it'll be worth it(no honda's!). Don't sell!!!

Well, with all honesty, it's just because I don't like the majority of the Mitsu owners in my city (Regina). It's a small city, so as long as you're young and you drive a two-door car that even slightly sheds off the word "sporty", I could bet anything that there will be some Mitsu owner right behind you following you across the city to try and race or show you up. I just find it.. annoying. They just get cocky and I even get dirty looks because I drive an Eclipse. Maybe I should laugh it off because they're jealous I just hate the fact that I know I can blow half of them away, but I refuse to, because I wouldn't want anything to happen to my little sister. They see her, yet they keep flooring the pedal, braking, flooring the pedal, braking etc. like I'm going to race them with a little girl in the passenger. I just think it's retarded.

Dont let the stupid actions of other people ruin your driving experience, there's gonna be people like that everywhere you go.

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

Yeah, no matter what car you have, there will always be those fuckheads. I would tell him to meet you at place X after you drop off you sister and then race his sorry ass. Or you could laugh at him. Yeah do that, laugh really hard when hes revving and point at him, I bet he wont try to race you any more.
EDIT: Have your sister laugh at him too!

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

Yeah, i feel that too sometimes, but in the racing world your going to get fuckheads.... no matter what car you chose to stand by. My solution to this problem is turn your passinger windshield washer squriter to the side so when Fuckhead revs his engine, or choses to spout off his mouth you just push your windshield wipers and give him a shower to cool him down. Trust me he'll forget all about racing and be more concerned about weather or not windshield wiper fluid will stain his pink polo. Or you could just do the manly thing: shrug it off, and enjoy your nice ride.

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

You guys should have been there!

History: There's this kid from school that hates me because I drive an Eclipse and he drives a 2005 yellow Cavilier his parents bought him. All he ever does is try to blow my doors off but all I ever do is shrug it off. He thinks he is the greatest driver ever... even though he turned 16 only four months ago.

So just tonight, I was driving my sister from her piano lessons like usual and we're passing by my high school, and I see the jerk with his Cavi come up behind me, and being the impatiant little twerp he is, he swerves to the left to get around me. There's about three cars in front of us, but he swerves in and out, cutting them all off. Then we all come up to this bend with a sign saying: Max 40 km/h (He goes to this school too, so it's not like he didn't know the sign was there, but you know, teens in their new cars..). He sped up, trying to take the turn like he was driving a high-end sports car. Then all of a sudden, I hear a screech from his wheels.. he understeered right into a tree on the median!

I couldn't believe what I was seeing! After seeing that they were all right (impact wasn't too bad, fender, frame, headlights, hood axle.. k it was pretty bad ) and also being a witness to the accident, I slowed down, rolled down my windows and pointed and laughed at him and his girlfriend.. and then my sister did too haha. I cried it was so funny.. I guess he's going to hate me more.. but at least I still have my car I wonder what his parents are going to buy him now..

Thanks for all your support guys.. maybe I will stick with my DSM for a little while longer!

Now that's hilarious! His balls must be in his chest since his girlfriend was with him. He's sounds like your typical hormone driven, jealous, and over confident teenager.
I hope this incident puts him into his place.

Good job on keeping your cool and not being involved.

Re: Yeah... that ruined it

Think of it this way: people rev at you because they think your car is fast, and they want to race you to help them regain some of the balls theyve lost in merely being intimidated by your car.



OT: JOSH!!! I didn't you had a spyder!?! That's awesome man!
