Story About A Very Angry Looser ! !

Alright so a week ago i was on the highway on my way home from dropping my girl off at her house. its about 1 in the morning, and theres no one on the road. so im driving home minding my own business, listening to music. when i see this lexus drive up beside me. its some guy and his girlfriend. so i dont have any intent in racing this guy, plus im kinda tired. but he looks at me, revs his engine. i look at his girlfriend and shes grilling me along with him. so now this guy wants to race and hes mad at me! The light turns green and we take off. we are neck to neck at the beggining, then he pulls a little bit. finally we hit 100 mph, and i start pulling on him till im about a nose hair in front of him. so we hit the next red light and this guys rolling down his windows. yelling, his girls yelling at him, hes yelling at me. im listening to them yell. i was like wtf did i do? anyone else have times like these? or any opinion on why hes so mad. it was funny as s**t seeing him yell.

was actually coming home from work last night and i had this very aggressive mustang pull up to me. was a gt. he wanted to race, which you can guess, i was against. eventually after a while, he's rolling behind me on my ***, and all of the sudden this mini van whips up on my right side going probably 10-15mph more then i was, and cuts into my lane in front of me so she can get to the turning lane. the light was red so of course while she is cutting me off she is hitting my brakes, so i had to slam on my brakes too. made the tires yell a little bit. i'm assuming this is why the guy in the mustang got serious mad, because after that, he keeps pumping his brakes so his car is kind of jumping, and when the light goes green i end up getting in the right lane. so here 's the trick. next light we are at is under a overpass, he has by now rolled down his window, flipped me off and started talking much ****. luckily this is my drive home from work every night so i could handle this. i continue to talk **** back to him ('my civic will break you, you punk ford drivers are all the same... anything to get him to buy into racing me), and when the light goes green we both pound it. i'll be honest, he was killing me, i have an a/t (believe me i knew i wasn't going to win this one), and it seems he was driving a manual. the next light was already green, but the trick to it is, you can't go straight through, both lanes turn very sharply, maybe a 45degree turn around this corner. by now i had let off the gas some to slow up for the turn, but i press it really hard again so that it drops into 3rd and revs pretty high, he takes this as incentive to go faster, once he hits the turn, there is no way he is keep tracking and his car ends up sliding right into the median. i could of stopped i guess and went over there to his car, but i was pretty sure we would have been fighting, and this guy mise well have been vin diesel. so i kept on going home, nerves were wrecked, but that was the end of the evening.

Stuff like this happens to me all the time and my civic basically looks stock. I suppose that drivers of big loud trucks, gt mustangs, and z28 camaros feel emasculated when they pull up to a light next to my 1.7L Nipponeese supercar, then they have to try and prove themselves. Maybe it's the factory spoiler on my trunk that does it.

Every once in a while when some guy is being a complete ahole for no reason, I like to roll down my window and slowly lick my middle finger at him. This never fails to make him so mad that he swerves off the road or starts to get out of his car like he's going to beat me up. I don't know why that gets guys around here so mad--usually flipping someone the finger doesn't elicit a response. Maybe it's just a Texas thing.

I had a guy in a moded beretta z26 or what ever the hell the # is. come up next to me (im doing 40) pace me honk and then take off before I even knew what the fulwk happend. He then slowed do until I caught him and did it again this time I was ready and wasted him. i called it at 80-90 when I was 10 or so lenghts infront of him. so we get to the next light (I am going straight they are going left) and his girlfriend gives me the finger. What the hell I remember when the other guys woman would blow you if you won now we get the finger what is this world coming to.

Funny stuff. Once a mustang GT and I were lined up waiting to turn onto the freeway ramp. Well he vrooms a little and I can see him checking out my car from the corner of my eye. I guess he decides to race me and floors it through the turn. Meanwhile I'm sitting there thinking what just happened. Yeah it was some punk kid who wanted to show a civic whos boss haha.

if your hubcaps arent their then it can be a reason.


the lexus one is funny. i think he lex driver got mad cuz he lost or something.

the mustang gt, sad. like 99% of the mustang drivers on the roads always tend to pick on the little ones. just like the drivers themselves that pick out the young girls

Wouldn't it make you mad as hell if I were a guy and you were a need-to-prove-your-manhood homophobic redneck punk and I did that to you? Mind you I have this dark psycho look in my eyes as I do it.

I used to get the angry drivers alot in my mazda. I guess because people hate loosing to the ugly car.

But there was on time in my '01 auto civic I was messing around with some Dodge car. I knew the guy and we were just messing with each other. Anyways so we are driving down a street at a normal speed (not racing) and we pass a white civic that was going 10 mph under the speed limit. Anyways the civic then come flying past us and stops at the light up ahead. The car was filled with 4 or 5 high school guys, all flicking us off and yelling at us. Now maybe its just me, but I'll be damned if a bunch of high school kids are gonna say crap like that to me.

Anyways we race and he looses badly, They then follow us around town continuing to yell and flick us off. So after I while we are at yet another light, I got fed up with it and grab the heavy end of my pool stick get out the car and hit one of them in that face with it. Hoping that maybe then they will realize that Im not going to **** around and that if they want to continue this that someone will get an *** whoopin.

So I thought that would be the end of that. But I was wrong, they follow us for a little longer. So I decided that it would be just to make them sorry for following us. So I call up some of my college buddies and they were all waiting at our friends house. We were going to simply scare the crap out of them by having 4-6 guys swarm they're car. And if they wanted beatings would be given.

However before we got to the house they fly by us one more time, this time throwing a filled drink at the side of my car. I had my window up at the time, but had it been down I would have been hit in the side of the head with the drink. After that I was furious. We chased them until they got caught at a light, I again got out the car with the stick and they all locked theyre doors. I hit the trunk yelling "get out the ****ing car" the trunk was crumpled. They were all panicing around inside. The quarter panel was next, being smashed in as far as it could go. After that I approached the drivers side of the car, looking down through the sunroof at the guy that threw the drink. It looked like he was calling 911 while at the same time soiling himself, the driver kept yelling "it wasn't us" as I hit his sunroof (im suprised it didn't break). I began to walk around the back of the car and to the passenger side. They took off and almost caused an accident. I never saw them again

The only part I regret was that someone could have been injured when then almost caused an accident.

Anyways I doubt they threw drinks at peoples cars again
