    Just curious if this happens to anyone else. I've had in happen in every car I've owned and in various situations. But often when I am behind a typical ricer car they like to go extremely slow, look in their mirrors and laugh. And then you try to pass and they speed up or block you in. I've got a few nasty stories about this, but not sure how some people would take it here. Just wondering if anyone else has to deal with it or anything similiar or annoying?

    Im a speed limit driver. Around here,if ya dont see a cop...you push it to the limit(5-10 over). Im a total ***** to people that ride my arse. Then when the try to pass me in a NO PASSING ZONE...i punch it and show them that im the leader...their the follower.

    Thats pretty much how the ricers are here. They loveeeeeee to speed up to a red light and downshift to first gear 15 yards from the light.just so ppl will hear their engine rev up to 9k deafening every human and animal within a half mile with their fart can exhaust.

    I havent seen that too often in chicago. Most of the time the ricers wont even race.

    I'm with nutcase on the tailgating thing. I'll usually tap on my brake a few times and if they dont get the message I slam on my brakes and immediately hit the gas. They usually get the message as well as get pretty damn pissed off. Sometimes I'll let them catch up just so I can smile and wave as they pass by

    On the way home from my vacation, I had this guy riding my a$$. He flashed his high beams for me to move, but there was a 18 wheeler right beside me. Wasn't going to speed up anymore to get over, I was already 10 over the limit. So when he flashed his high beams, I hit my emergancy flashers in return. Talk about someone getting pissed. Me and the wife thought it was funny as hell.

    Oh yes!!!! I had a Jimmy John's delivery guy in a LOWERED CAMRY PULL THAT CRAP WITH ME. He started messing with me in traffic. I was thinking to my self Even if I was a street racer WHICH I AM NOT. What are we gonna do punch it for 2 seconds??? When traffic cleared and I tried to pull up next to him and he just kept darting in and out of traffic. The funny thing was he delivered to my neighbor. When he pulled in next to me and I threw him a rev. He said "nice car" I replied in a joking way. "You really don't want to mess with this." Then he replied "I heard that turbo spool up What size turbo you got in that GTP" I just laughed.

    Yes...The famous "Ricer weave". I hate when they pace you, get one car length in front of you, drop in neutral, revv, drop back then stomp it just to try and keep up with you. Makes me laugh and shake my head.

    These 350z kids like to get in front of me and flash their hazards and drop a gear then floor it. This happened 2wice to me in 2 completly different areas with 2 different 350z's. Thought it was funny though when i ripped a white one at a light, and he still gave me the hazards. LoL

    occasionally if im already over the speed limit and someone tries to pass me i'll get mad a punch it to show they can only pass if i let them. but if a car was in site in the other lane i'd never do that.

    lmao... long story. but by occasionally, i meant once. stupid kid was messing with me from my girlfriends school all the way down the highway he got infront of me go real slow-to the speed limit-then real slow again,i'd switch lanes,he'd do the same.(by real slow i mean he dropped down to 35 when the speed limit at the time was 60) after about 10 min of it i had it and flew by him. apparently he took the same exit as me and tried to pass me in a no pass zone while i was speeding a little my self (maybe 65 in a 55). so i didnt let him pass me. this happened like 3-4 days ago

    Instigating a race when someone's just trying to pass you sounds like ricer BS to me.

    Road rage is fun.


    Especially when your bigger, and or faster than the other person.
