atleast once a week these days, sometimes more, on my way to or from work, either on the freeway or normal roads i will get some ИИИИhead (usually p-plater, usually a commodore) sit up my ИИИИ or roar up next to me and then roar off and slow down again, or i am just driving along, overtake and they think ohh ИИИИ, cant have that etc, purely because they see the xr6 badge on the back.
most of the time i really couldnt be bothered dealing with them now because i am to buggered and tired and i am really over it to, i just laugh at them and mouth "sick bro" to them and let them annoy someone else, or when i am in a ИИИИty mood i tell them to ИИИИ off and leave them for dead, haha. the most annoying thing is, they sit right up my ИИИИ on the straights, but when it comes to the roundabouts i leave them for dead, and i hardly race around them, and then back out on the straight they are up my ИИИИ. i seriously consider telling them to pull over and go to there window and punch them in the head, haha. but because i am a responsible member of the public i only dream about doing it. |

I got more when I owned my VR. Had some guy in a VR SS beside me at the lights, him and his missus looking at my car (it was nothing special, cosmetic mods only). Then as we were driving he was beside me speeding up and slowing down, his missus just stared at me, I was like "wtf are you looking at ?" They eventually got bored and sped up the highway, I didn't care for it.
Now that I have the BA I don't really get people harassing me or wanting to drag, but HEAPS of people just overtake me and speed past me all the time, even when I'm doing on or a bit above the speed limit. Even had a guy in and older Ford ute tailgate me, speed past me in the left lane and give me the finger, so yeah... |

Now I just let everyone pass when i'm in traffic. They waste fuel speeding up and weaving in and out of traffic and I end up passing them at the next set of lights anyway so what's the point : |

Actually just happened to me tonight for the 1st time. a VR commo with NSW plates came up beside me and had a big stare, this guy looked like the stereotypical bogan, you know the ones with a bit of bum fluff on there chin havent eaten in weeks bombed off there head. Anyway after staring at me roars past then slows down then speeds up and reefed on his wheel while knocking it back a gear trying to get a chirp out of his wheels, all at about 70km/h, he took up half my lane while doing this.....wtf!!
So i just kept to the speed limit. But mostly i get young(er) guys in I6 E-series guys wanting to race, i usually let them know im faster to limit then let them drone past. |

I had some hero in a VR trying to race me last weekend. He took off from the servo infont of me flat out chirping his tyres a few times (auto locked into 1st gear), slowing and speeding up. I got sick of this real quick, and after we went through a roundabout I flew past him up a hill left him for dead, and he caught up, and tail gated me for ages, then when we got to dual lanes, he come up next to me still locked into gear, reving it. He eventually took off and I waved at him ;)
Dick, I've probably got as much power at the wheels as his dying cow sounding V6 makes at the flywheel, and a 5 speed. Didn't the lumpy idle at the servo spell danger to him? :/

I never get 'harassed' but I do get a lot of ricers and VLs and VNs or anything with a fart cannon exhaust come up next to me and speed up, then slow down, and so on. But nobody ever drags me! I guess when they hear the ol' crate at idle they get scared, even though they'll probably win Had a guy in some new BMW drag me a few weeks ago, killed him and he gave me the finger after I slowed down and let him pass me...

Hmmm, the only time i've ever had somebody say something to me was a bunch of guys in an EB on the princes hwy going towards gippsland. My car had the supercharger at the time, but unfortunately the internal belt was broken on the blower and as you can imagine she was running like a complete slug. He did the whole slow down speed up game with me, so i thought i may aswell give it a go. Naturally his car killed mine, which promted them to come up beside me and yell out that me car was a peice of ИИИИ....... You can imagine how ИИИИed off i was!

i had an interesting thing happen the other day, I was cruisin Hindley street when i pulled up at a set of lights.
This fella pulled up in his sweet lookin VP HSV with all his mates in it . I was havin a good look as i think they are one of the better lookin commos when this ******** in the back seat starts abusing me for lookin at it. As u can imagine i felt like pullin him through his window and teachin him a well overdue lesson, Instead i turned to the driver and asked had he spent a lot of money on the car, he replied yes and i said doesnt it bother you that a car enthusiast looks and appriciates your car only to cop a mouthful for my interest. The driver spat at his former mate and kicked his ИИИИ out right there POETIC JUSTICE I SAY |

I was heading home from my folks place in Essendon and this ******** P plater and four friends in a statesman decides to tailgate me in the 40km'h zone. anyways i made him sit behind me till the 60 zone started and then floored it! he couldnt keep up. then he tailgated me all the way to the set of lights and beat him again, next up the round about, and by that time he was really ИИИИing me off!!!he tried to cut me off throught the two lane round about, but id put the auto into first and floored it and beat him again.
Someone really needs to tell him about power to weight ratios. so then i spent the next 20 mins on the way to work with him sitting beside me on the freeway pulling the finger and stuff, really was entertaining! |

I was broken down in Chirnside Park last night, and my area is full of commo P platers. Every commo that went past had a dig at me "Ford Suck" i heard about 5 times.
They love getting on the horn too! |
