most of the time when at a light and i can tell someone wants to race...i will keep moving forward a little bit at a time then right before the light turns hold the rpm's abot 2k and when the lightturns they tear off and i just slowly roll from the light....then of course i find them in the turns of traffic not far ahead

And the bad part about my story is that I was in the middle lane of a three way highway. It just so happened that people in the left lane were not going very fast either and the guy got impatient and took it out on me. It was uncalled for. People are just a-holes.

Could't agree more. I had a freakin van fly by me and once he hit 100mph on the highway (I'm not exaggerating), I let it go. Plently of other stories, not worth the typing to mention...

I have a couple similar stories to. I had an early 90's beat up civic Si rev on me one day while we were sitting in traffic at a stop light then he drove slow from the light so there would be some distance between him and the car in front of him so he could redline it in first only to have to slam on the breaks again to avoid hitting the car in front on him... I just drove by laughing at him.... Then the best was when a lifted diesel chevy truck was pulling up next to me on the freeway gunning it and slowing down trying to get me to race... I honestly wonder what goes through some peoples heads sometimes...

i live my life a quarter gallon at a time. for those 4 miles or less, nothing else matters. not the gas stations and their bullshit, the government with theirs, or the epa with my catless exhaust...
i've raced a grandma in a chevy astro from a stoplight. true story.

Ya I noticed that out there too. Last time I was out there was the first time since the rise of the prius 
(im from california). Man those things are everywhere there! We counted at least 1000 prius while out there.
The Odyssey's have a bit of an excuse. They're about as fast as our 8's lol. At least the ones with the 3.5l vtec

This happen to me a few weeks ago. At about 1am I was going home after i was at my friends house. I was going down the street to go home. I pull up to a red light and wait, then a few seconds later a black M3 pulls up next to me and rev's. I then look over and see 2 ppl (guy's) looking at my car (rx8). The light turns green and i go normally up to speed then come up to another red light and make a right turn on to the freeway entrance to go home. I look in my review mirror and see a pair of headlights going sideways and then strighten up and getting closer. Next thing i know its the M3 again following me in the next lane i guess wanting to race... i just stay my course and keep at the same speed of 70. The M3 is still next to me for the next 2 mins untill he speeds away going upwards of about 120 or so. A few mins later when i get off the freeway that Black M3 is pulled over by CHP. I roll down my window and and see whats going on. The two guy's in the M3 look up and see me and i just smile and drive away.......

It's not a complete day unless some 17 year old douchebag revs up next to me at a light in a neon colored jetta or stock 99-04 mustang that their parents bought them. It literally happens every day on my way home from work.

Why the RX8 makes you feel like a Rockstar.
Poem for a daily RX8 Rockstar.
Do not be mad at me because you like my RX8.
Do not be mad at me because you feel bad because you do not have an RX8.
Do not be mad because I am a sex symbol for driving an RX8.
Do not be mad because your girlfriend drools when she sees me in my RX8.
Do not be mad and try to ram your engine loud beside me ignoring you in my RX8.
Do not be mad and ram your engine past my house everyday because you C RX8.
Do not be mad and get half into my freeway lane as I am zooming past in RX8.
Do not be mad because you see me putting 93 octane gas in the RX8.
Do not be mad and tailgate me the whole time because I am cruising an RX8.
Do not be mad because you have a honda civic and not an RX8.
Do not be mad because you have a BMW and wished you saved money on RX8.
Do not be mad because I feel like a RockStarX8.
Feel free to add more fellow Rockstars............

I love sitting at red lights and some kid rides past me on his bicycle. I just go on green and eventually pass him.. Since he's not allowed to cross the street.

Man, We Ain't Found Sh*t!
over the years i've noticed that, on the freeway, people tend to drive in packs.. like cattle or something.. i like to drive between the bunched up groups of cars.. it's like having the road to myself..
