Stupid Civic Profilers

So Saturday morning I finished washing and waxing my car to a beautiful shine and I'm driving out of my neighborhood, when this SUV from an off-branch of the neighborhood road comes up to a stop sign on the side, waiting for his turn to merge.

As I pass him at 30mph, he honks long and hard at me.... so about 50 meters go by and I stop, roll down my window, and put my hand out the window like "WTF?"

So he pulls alongside me and he's like "You need to slow down buddy."
I just stare at him and then he drives off at like 15 mph trying to **** me off as I follow him out.

At the entrance of the neighborhood, he goes to the side to make a right turn, and I get to the left of him intending to make a left.

I roll down my passenger window and he looks at me again like /ugh.

Me: Dude I was only going about 30.
Him: No- you were flying.
Me: Oh well what are you going to do about it?
Him: Nothing. What are you going to do about it?
Me:
Him: Why don't you lay some rubber man? ::drives off::
Me: ::drives off too::

I really don't think that 30mph in a 25mph zone is that fast and I bet he's a hypocrite because I bet he's done that speed or faster in a neighborhood before. Now maybe he was profiling me because I was driving a car that looked fast and was all "raced up." I was so mad though. Seriously though, if I thought I was going fast, then I would fess up, but I was honestly like WTF when he honked at me.

And please don't be the goody two shoes and reply "I am so good and I never go so fast in a neighborhood and blah blah blah blah." Don't wanna hear it.

Seriously. It really gets to me because now every time I drive through MY NEIGHBORHOOD where I LIVE, I think about that and then it ruins my day.

I want to egg his house or something but I'm trying to be the "bigger man" and just let it slide.

Plus, I don't know his tag numbers, vehicle make/model (blue SUV), and there are about 50-75 houses down that one road off the main road in my neighborhood.

Man forget him.

5 over the speed limit is ok. Like a 25 in 30. As long as the roads are clear, little traffic and few pedestrians (<sp).

When I get someone who tailgates... I'll usually slow down, stay in my lane and strategically block his way in to getting in front of me.

I do it carfeully... only when theres light traffic.

I guess we'll be hated upon by everyone (cops/ citizens alike) since we drive these cars that aren't even "fast cars" to begin with.

this kinda reminds me of sumpthin that happened to me a couple days ago. so i was on my to play sum b-ball right? so i take a left turn and one of those NICE new bmw's makes a right and is now right behind me. the speed limit was 35 mph and i was goin like 40 mph, cuz the cops always patrol right thru there cuz it's hella straight for about a half mile and it's fun to just blast thru there, but there's houses right there.so anyways....i'm drivin and he starts flashin hs brights and starts tailgatin me and revin a bunch. i was lke "wtf?". it was sum 30 ish business guy and he was messin with me just cuz i drive a vic i gess. maybe he's an import hater. anyways...so i decided to **** him off, so i slowed down to like 20 mph and he almost hit me (which wouldv'e been his bad), so he gets REALLY close to the back of my car, so then i floor it and just take off on his azz. i took it up to like 60 mph and he's just sittin there lookin stupid tryin to act badazz. so i slow down for the red light ahead, and the street is now two lanes. he pulls up next to me and we're talkin NICE AZZ bmw. he puts down the passenger window and asks me if i have anything under the hood. i was like...."u wanna find out on green?" but we ended up not racing. i wouldn't have done it anyways, cuz i would've lost badly, plus street racing is dangerous, etc. anyways....it' just wierd how peole stereotypically look at people who drive vics. makes me mad..

I've had grown men run in the middle of the street trying to stop me. I just swerve around them hahaha. I get such a kick outa that. They try to read my plates at i go by it is so funny. I had this lady literally wait as i was dropping my friend off in the middle of a "t" intersection.

dumb b!tch: What is your name?
me: Why?
dumb b!tch: Cause I am going to call your parents.
me: Hahahaha, do it lady. Please call them, I want you to.
dumb b!tch: Well you can't drive by going 90. I have kids playing outside.
me: I was going 25, maybe you should watch your kids instead of the road.
dumb b!tch: I am going to call the cops.
me: Please, call them.
dumb b!tch: Well if i see you do this again I am going to call the cops.
me: Okay? (I proceeded to drive off running up first gear with a lil rev at the end looking at her frowning face)

hahaha I hate stupid people. Everytime I drive by her house now I make sure to drive in the highest gear possible.

No sarcasm. I'm really wondering. That doesn't **** you off?
