Question does this happen to anyone??

sometimes when im driving around in neighborhoods (which mine have steep hills) i get at like 4k RPM but still only goin like 25 cuz its residential.. and people get all emotional and yell at me to slow down when im not even speeding, my RPM's are running high.... kinda gets on my nerves sometimes..

yep been there.

On time I was in my homies integra and we were dropping off this chick he was macking too and some old dude at the corner house yelled at us to slow down. Then when we were leaving t neighborhood he started to through D batteries at my homeies car!!

So, My home was uber pissed when he saw dents on the newly painted fenders.

So, he found the biggest rock he could find. The mini boulder was the size of a bowling ball. We then went back to the house in coasting mode. My homie then jumped out of the car and threw the boulder into the windshield.

Man that was CRAZYNESS.

That used to happen to me all the time from the same guy. I always went 25mph and he keep yelling at me to slow down because his kids were playing in the driveway. Eventually, the a-hole started blocking off the street with cones so that his 6 yr old kids could play in the street. If i didn't care so much about my car I would've run down every single one of his cones.

I could understand his concern for his kids but I was always going the limit and this was a through street so they had no business blocking it off and making me go around his cones.

Exhaust systems in residential areas are not only VERY annoying, but also create the illusion that you are speeding thru it. I definetely hate it since my room is closest to the street.
