    There is no purpose to this post other than me venting a tad...so you can ignore it if you want.
    This morning, while taking my 7 month old to daycare (she loves to ride in the Subaru :) ), some prat in a silver RX-8 decided that he wanted to very closely inspect the tags on my car at 50mph. He rocketed up behind me from nowhere and sat on my arse for a couple of minutes. After a polite tap on my brakes he did back off, and followed me up to Windward parkway.
    I was turning right onto Windward (from Union Hill), and he got int he left lane. He then inexplicably changed lane into the right turn lane, and followed me onto Windward.
    After I moved over to let him go past, which is what I was expecting, he cruised up beside, and sat there staring through my drivers side window at me. At this point I had slowed to crawl, as there was nothing behind me, and I wanted to get my point across that I wasn't interested in playing Dukes of Hazzard with him in the middle of suburbia. My wife turned and saw him, and waved him on. He then buggered off to the first left turn, did a u-turn, and disappeared.

    Exciting huh. Well, if you are reading this...please don't do that again...it's bloody annoying having someone ride your arse for no reason, and more annoying to have you stare at me while I'm driving my daughter to daycare.

    P.S. that hat looked bloody ridiculous, and it helps to look in front of you when driving, just in case a random camel materialises in front of you.

    You will definitely have to get used to that one. I have had several run ins with street racers. I rolled my window down once at a stop light for a Honda that was riding my butt and wanting to race. I guess he expected me to say "wanna race" when I rolled my windows down, instead I said, "you drive like a f'ing retard", but without the abbreviation. That seemed to piss him off as he brake checked me at the next light.

    Go wingless....

    The absolute best thing I ever did to rid myself of street racers.

    Heh, yeah..but I like my wing :)
    Maybe I should get a bumper sticker that reads
    "If you can read this, you're a F'ing Moron"

    Luckily this is really my only run in with someone like this. Previously it's always been kids in 1.4l Civics with monstrous rear wings.

    I found that a 'Baby on board' sign cuts down on the attempted races significantly. :)

    you have more patience than me, because if i had my baby in the car (which i have no kids) I would have had to roll my window down when he was staring at me, and said "I have my baby in the car you POS, back the fawk off my @$$." but yeah, you will see retards like this everywhere you go.

    The Baby On Board thingy is good idea. Think I'll pop out and get one at lunch.
    Guess you can get them at Babies R Us etc.

    Thanks :)

    Not so sure about all the piercings...suppose I could get a tattoo on my forehead tho ;)

    Yep, this has done wonders for my "image" as a tough guy...this hasn't really happened with my daughter in the car, but I imagine if you had rolled down your window so he could see the baby he would have backed off, if not, time to call the cops...

    make a sign that says "want to hear what a police siren sounds like?" and put it up on the window the next time this happens.

    So I have a Baby on Board sign now...
    I feel so middle aged :/
    Think I'll grow a full beard, and start wearing open toed sandals with white socks....

    ^^^ I really don't get why people don't like sandals with white socks. It's the perfect setup to get air between your toes and keep the sandals smelling nice...

    I thought of another idea. You could get one of those cop stickers, the blue and black stripped ones.

    i been meaning to get 1:p
     
  30. I look too much like Mr Clean with my earings. I had to take them out. :rofl:

    Wearing the white under/T shirts all the time never seems to help either.

    Just to let you know, I've talked to a few friends who are cops and all of them have said that the bluestripe sticker won't help you in the least as far as getting a ticket is concerned...if that's what you were going for.

    I myself have fallin' victim to that...of course it was on a closed circuit with safety personnel (I PROMISE)!!! VTEC is more potent then I remember from back in my honda days, it was a 2004+ though.

    Isn't it true that anyone can get the blue sticker?. The blue sticker is a part of the police benevolent society, correct?.

    Actually it was originally the symbol for the International Pork Association also known as the IPA, for some reason the police just started using for themselves?
