Why?
For some reason everyone in my area feels the need to race me. I don't have a loud ass exhaust, 4" tip but it was the smalled i could find for a 3" in, I don't blare music. Today for example (first day out of the garage since winter began) and some prick in a 99? firebird came up on my ass and tried to get me to race. And this happens atleast once a week, generaly some ass hat with a V8 something. I just needed to vent...

Its because they WISH they had a classy car like the supra, not 'just another GM piece of crap'.

Its because it says Toyota Supra on the back. If you have the Turbo badge on it, it'll it be worse. Thats why I wont have anything on my car to hint at it being turbo except for the intercooler, cant hide that lol.

I had somebody want to race me the day I bought my supra. I was bringing it home on the freeway and a kid in a monte carlo passes me and slows down ,when I get next to him he hits the horn 3 times lol. I have always owned sports cars and know your pain well. Just try passing slow traffic and they think it's a race. Some real tools out there.

Its the opposite with me, I hardly ever find a car worthy of racing and when I do find one they wont race me.

When I rock back b4 I got when I inch forward, sumthing in their heads believe it a race everytime they hear exhaust noises beside them It does get annoying Especially the idiots that tail you so close so they can switch lanes to try and race you I swear to god , if only I ddnt only have liablity insurance on my car, I'm gonna start brake-checking these idiots Although, I do love racing those stupid v8 cars, the best is when they try to pass me on my right, they try their ass off to hurry cuz pretty soon there's gonna be a stack of cars in front him But most of the time they back-off after I hit full boost in secong gear and ,the sound Waaaaaahhh, pssshhh ssshhh ssshhh Makes them realize they got a slow ass gas-guzzler
