Ok, so I have owned my ITR for going on about 3 weeks now. Nearly every time I drive the car something like this happens to me (Twice on the way home from work today, actually.):

1. I spot blue LED windshield washer spray nozzles on the hood of the car behind me, which is tailgating me to the extremes of tailgating.
2. Said car will then back off, and tail gate again, over and over.
3. Eventually the person driving the car will whip around to the left, and match speed with you.
4. They drive like this until you look over, and they then give you a hard look.
5. The ricer idiot then punches it, showing me that his mother's civic DX is SOOOO much faster than my ITR while I maintain speed in my lane.

This has happened to me 5 times now. This isn't even counting idiots revving their engines at me stopped at stop lights, which is an entirely different ball of wax. I mean, I knew the ITR was rare, and almost an intimidating car, but I had no idea it was a retard attractant.

Please tell me **** like this happens to you guys, and I haven't been the victim of several random moron attacks.

 

Heh get used to it. There is a local ruffiant in a automatic saturn who likes to try and get me to race. I just choose to giggle at his l33t neons that hang on the side of his car.

 

try driving a turbo car, i bet its much worse. as soon as the idiots hear they BOV, they wont leave you alone for miles....

Next time, just say "take a picture, it will last longer..."

 

Dood, it's not just you... I just get pissed, cause I have an ever so bright and clean Milano Red '00 GSR. Well, when idiots do such things, cops just happen to see my car. It's the ***** getting pulled over and having the cop ask you, "Who was that other guy?", "I heard screaching tires and saw you". These are all actual quotes said to me by local PD. That's why I'm selling my car. I know I can keep in control, but it's the other idiots around me that peel out, rev their motor, and generally attract way too much attention than is needed. It really pisses me off.

I wanna sue the makers of "The Fast and the Furious". They screwed up the entire scene by empowering people in 'mommies Civic' to think they're friggin Mario Andretti... It sucks.

Ok, I'll get off my soap box, and continue looking for my new car...

Thanks for the vent.

 

curious how long you've owned your ARR. after a few months you'll get used to it
intereting tho, after having my car for nearly 3 years, i haven't got that kinda stuff in a LOONG time now that i think about it...
joe-who misses ricer's throwing rev's

 

Wait till u meet the RSX boys, another kind of racer wannabe morons who make more noise behind u until u give them a glance. They everywhere so just ignore them. I just laugh at them and keep driving.

 

jeah, happened to me a few times

yshi - who likes to point and laugh at the we todds and then drive slowly to **** them off

 

i just ignore everyone now.... .... its so sad....if i look, it might be some stunna trying to show me that his car is so much faster than mine

one thing i see the most is ...at the traffic light, a car turning, or going the opposite way im going will see my car, then proceed to shift his automatic into first gear and redline his car so i can hear his coffee can exhaust.

Crap like this is *one* of the big reasons that my wife won't ride in my car for long trips. The worst I've ever had was a punk in a civic Si cutting me off and otherwise bothering me for about 30 miles through New Jersey. (not something I wanted to deal with on a 20 hour drive...)

My problem is the town I live in and drive through to get to work is the land of rich yuppie lawyer parents and spoiled brat 16 year old import driving morons. You guys should see the parking lots of some of these highschools in my area... ******* nuts let me tell you.

 

Yeah, I had my car for 2 min. and I had some stunna trying stuff with me...2 years + I can say you just get used to it, almost like you only look over when you are the one starting ****... . Don't worry, just keep going the same pace, and do your thing

 

next time just point and laugh

 

That happened to me last night, some ******* idiot in an Eclipse was in the right turn lane waiting at a red light (He SO could have ******* gone, the intersection was a ghost town.) revving his engine as hard as he could for about 30 seconds before burning out.

Believe me, my **** felt small after that one. His car is SO much faster than mine I just want to cry.

 

It's normal, I get revved on even when I am parked at a lot or going in the opposite direction.

 

i know exactly what you mean, when i was TEST DRIVING MY CAR some idiot in an accord was doing that crap.

 

Get used to it, just one of the many joys of owning a PY ITR. When I'm back home in NY, I drive everyday on NY Rt. 231, i.e. one of the most drag raced strips year in and year out according to cops and magazines that bother to calculate that kind of crap. Try that everyday. You will get used to this ITR thing a lot faster.

 

Yep. Been there, done that. I love it when they rev at you when you're both a few cars deep at the red light. What, you're going to race for 4 feet? Retards, all of them

That was one of the contributing factors to me selling #009. And it wasn't even that bad back then - maybe one 'tard every week or so. It would be much worse now, based on how much more rice there is in my area. And even in my apartment complex - odds are good she would have been stolen by now

 

yeah that chit happens all the damn time. the worst is when i'm driving to the drug store or something with my mom, she's like "why is that guy revving his motor". It still happens now that i'm in stealth much, fortunately not quite as much. still blows though

rob- who hates getting associated with those ******* ******** just cause he drives a honda

 

On November 8, 2002,
I get caught with Domestic Uncle Ben's I guesh


I was driving to somewhere during that weekend. This forest green firebird(camaro or whatever) was pacing to the left of me. It was loud as fugg. He kept reving his motor and stuff pacing me even though there is plenty of room to pass in front of me. I never made eye contact to the left of me but knew what kinda car it was. I just continued to ignore him and let him rev and pace me. When the cars started piling up on his lane,I blocked him in so he got stuck in that lane. Then carefully make it over to the right, and go about my business. I love it when they play around and I don't play with them with their stupid strEEt racing crap. I wanted to make a sign that said
"why don't you goto a buttonwillow raceway and rev on people overthere!"

It seems like those Camaro's and Firebirds always want to mess with me. This is the 3rd F-body that tried to do something to me. Granted, I am no ITR. shesh!

1)some blue camaro car jacked the volvo beside me
2)El Segundo. going to the Property Management office and the blue camaro paced me
3)the green camaro.

-aoib0t, who minds his own biz and proly should have made an Auto Modellista sign that said "Why are YOU so BAD?"

thats the worst

 

Funny you mention this thread because a Teal Green 5th Gen with IS300 taillights (Hehe) did a flyby on me tonight.

What makes me laugh so hard is that when freeway traffic is going a steady pace, he'll downshift, accelerate as hard as a DX can accelerate, then abrubtly slams on his brakes so he doesn't rear end the vehicle in front, that's hilarious.

 

Freeway bumper to bumper traffic burnouts

I also was priviledged to be revved on during my test drive.

 

I miss those actually....Just don't hit me.

 

every time i'm stuck in traffic i am very tempted to burn a little rubber for my audience, but then i realize how much clutches and trannies cost so i dont.

 

just take your stickers off, my car was a rice boys wet dream, slammed on stock wheels, mugen wing, gauges, red seats...not once did i get revved on, i just had a pretty ls
