Just because I drive a modified car doesn't mean I care about yours. (rant)
Why is it that whenever you drive a car that has a few modifications, everyone else with exhaust on the planet feels the need to try and show you up in normal traffic? I have a current-model Mustang GT that's blue with white stripes, and has headers, exhaust, CAI; just some basic modifications but nothing real special. Yet at least once a day on the interstate, some moron spots my car and does a ricer flyby. Good job dumb***, you can risk causing an accident to beat a guy who isn't even racing against you.
Case in point. Today I was driving down I-35 in the right hand lane because my exit was coming up. I see this guy in an '06 GTO creep up along side my car, and then all the sudden he floors it and starts swerving through traffic. Good thing he did that too, because I never would have known that LS2-powered GTOs are fast if he hadn't started driving like a douche.
Is it really necessary to endanger so many people for me to notice you also enjoy performance vehicles? I can understand why people would want to show off your ride, but any person who has modified their own car for gains knows how to spot another performance vehicle, so there's really no purpose in being irresponsible so others will notice.
But trucks are the worst. One of the worst things about living in Texas is having to deal with stupid people in trucks. I can't tell you how many times I've been "gunned" on by rednecks. This guy earlier this week gunned on me at a red light with his 2500 Dodge Ram. It had 6" exhaust tips, about a foot of lift, and a bunch of other crap. On a side note, 2k worth of mods won't change the fact that your truck is a Ram (Don't get me wrong, I like some of Dodge's stuff, but their trucks just don't stack up against Ford's or Chevy's; I've heard the new ones are decent though). When the light turned green, the dude took off, and then looked back to see why I wasn't wasting my time racing him. It could have been that I think drag racing in busy intersections is retarded, or maybe it was the cop in the nearby parking lot. Either way, I got a good laugh as the cop's lights turned on and he went after him.
Idiots in trucks wouldn't piss me off any more than these other morons, but trucks with huge lift kits on them are so incredibly dangerous to other cars when they're being driven by jackasses. I hope they fall while getting out of them.
