To start. . . I am by no means paranoid or afraid... I have been around the block my share of times and am 6'3/230. But, being qualified for S.C.(old guy) discounts this year. and am a lot smarter than I use to be. . . I prefer no confrontation until I am in a corner, my personal space is compromised, or feel that I need to get involved to do what is right to help others (a far cry from back-in-the-day.... mind you)

Anyway I noticed the little car with a high-wing spoiler following me kinda close through a neighborhood and didn't really think too much of it until I pulled into my drive way three houses down from the corner where I turned and noticed that they were still there with no traffic coming from either direction. They then turned to drive by the house. (tinted windows - couldn't see s--t) but non-the-less. . I let them know that I was looking.

What do you do when being followed?
This happens to me all the time, because they can’t pass me or keep up!
But really the ricer kids just want to race. Back in 2010 when I picked up my Camaro I made it two lights in this town before someone tried to race me. Sometime later I smoked a ricer and his buddies and they fallowed me around until I stopped because they wanted to see what I had done to the car. Now only the really dumb ones want to race because word got around of what I had done.
There is still crime in this neck of the woods and if they did that to me I would get a plate number and a home video surveillance system.
