Importism The Evolving Automotive Trend!

This has always been something that has bothered me but it never really hit me until today! I believe i became a victim of importism (domestics like camaros mustangs etc.) take a glance at you in your civic or whatever import and act like you just crawled out from underneath the bottom of their shoe! I know this has been going on for a while but today's incident really ticked me off! So then they proceed to demonstrate their 300 horses by stepping on it and just about blowing your eardrums with all that rattling coming from their tailpipe! Well I was unfortunate not get that same treatment! This guy felt he really needed to make a name for himself! So I was pulling onto the street that leads into my school from the parking lot and i notice this black mustang gt behind me! In about a millisecond he whips around beside me probably stared at me like he actually wanted me to attempt to race him which by the way i didnt even bother try to brake check me which pissed me off even more and then speed off like he just owned me or something! Whats worse is that i think he is in one of my classes cuz i recognized his girlfriend in the passenger seat and i see them together all the time! Regardless I dont know who died and made them king or where they got the idea that any honda civic with rims or exhaust or whatever is a ricer and should be put in their respective place in the car chain! I dont know about you guys but my car is soley for looks! I have nothing against domestic drivers but some of them just need to get a life and pray on someone within their same horsepower class! Sh** if i wanted a fast car, i damn sure wouldnt have bought a freakin civic! Sorry for the long rant but it dissappoints me that some people cant even make their cars look nice without being expected to race!

wait for that guy at school and chin check him for brake checking you. ha ha. jm. that'd be fu(ked up. Just let it go, not the first time, not the last time. If he does this to all the other imports he sees, he's gonna get himself into an accident. What goes around comes around, don't even waste time on idiots like that.

Ahhhh...who am I kidding.....go hit on his chick and take her for a ride in your car, and pull up next to him. ha ha
