Some idiot in a civic cut me off and ran me off the road! On I 595 in Fl going towards Davie. I was in the passing lane and a civic come over 4 lanes and basically push me on the shoulder or he would have hit the side of my car. After he speeds up he puts on his flashers saying he wanted to race. After that I said hell no I do not street race when I do race its at a track where it counts. This guy should get his drivers license taking away.

dude that sucks. At least you are ok. I get to see a lot of that crap when I drive home from work. Just take solace in the fact that your car was up to the task of keeping you safe.

I remember a civic SI doing something similar to me when I owned my FD. He forced me into an exit only lane and since I was still at highway speed (70+) I couldn't get off. I had to pass him on the shoulder just as the ramp split from the highway. I came inches from the barrier. After that I hit my brakes and let him do the typical ricer flyby. I was shocked to see all the brakelights of the cars in front of me as he weaved in and out of the lanes.

Thankfully, after about 15 minutes, I come up to some slowing traffic to see that same civic, 3 state troopers, and a flatbed. The troopers were ready for him and boxed him in, forcing him off the road. :D



btw this civic that cut you off wasn't a new black SI with a big AROSPEED decal on the back was it?

Because the civic that almost killed me in my FD was a black SI with a big arospeed decal. His dad's a palm beach county sheriff's deputy, and his uncle's a judge up here, so he got off scott free after he was busted. I knew some friends of his and he's notorious for stuff like this. They know he'll end up dead soon, and he just refuses to listen because he knows he can get away with it. At least up here he can. Davie might be a different story.

This guy should really rot in jail. It all started when I was on the ramp getting on to i595 when the civic was tailgating me big time so I brake tapped him and then got into the passing lane to get off at my exit. About 5 min later the civic cuts me off and I had to make a high speed maneuver on the shoulder/grass so I wouldn’t hit him and then he speeds up and puts his flashers on. I didn’t do anything I just started driving normal again and then he speeds up and cuts through traffic.

sometimes I hate this forum

when Z owners and sti owners say their car is faster than the rx8 everyone here says the rx8 isn't about speed and then when people add strakes, bodykits, hood scoops, neon lights it's lame because they have no function because they dont add speed

I don't get what you're saying, Mike.

Are you saying that the same people here who say the RX8 isn't about speed also criticize others here for getting accessories that don't help increase speed?

Or are you saying that YOU wish people here would get accessories that add speed?

I changed the post subject to get more of an answer. It’s all about how u sell an item it can be the shitiest thing in the world but if it catches someone’s eye they will buy. For ex (Dent wizard the thing doesn’t work but how they sell the product they have thousands of buyers.)



Sorry about making two threads I tried changing the subject but wouldn’t let me. Also i did get over it

P.S. Thanks
