Stay mobile and when they don't go away punch your car and slam it for everything your Camaro can do and smoke 'em.

If you make 4 right hand turns and they are still there, You are being followed.

THIS. . . with my dogs sitting next to me. . .

Thanks everyone for the advice and relaying relative experiences. With just over 400mi on her, we're still just enjoying the ride. I will definitely keep a close eye on who's behind me. I always watch when out in restaurants(back against the wall - watching the door) and shopping etc. It was the way I was raised. . . But following me around and especially following me to my castle... doesn't jive with me at all. It won't go unchecked next time either.

We live in a small town 150 miles from the next town. Not really worried about theft, but not saying it couldn't happen either.

Wish you all safe travels this Holiday Season!

I actually did that once in my 4th gen. I changed lanes and they matched me each time. I threw it down a gear and went with all I had. Seconds later cop lights lit me up! It was a trooper pacing me. I was sorta relieved. He was actually nice and gave me a warning to slow down after I explained my actions.

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.

I also had a cop do the same thing one day. When I turned into my driveway he kept going though.....
My story is like yours but I was the one following. I was following her for about 35 miles. This was expressway and city driving. I probably was scaring her until I turned off where I lived at.

Yeah I have been the one following before and it just happened I made all the same turns they did. Until I turned up my driveway.

Texas has a Motorist protection Law that allows non street-gang members who are law abiding citizens to carry a loaded concealed handgun in their car.

Personally, I have a certain affection for firearms and have a concealed handgun license and NEVER go out unarmed. In a serious situation, my concealed handgun is only a tool to allow me to access my rifle. I keep a suppressed HK MP5 sub-machine gun in the trunk.

I'm the person, trouble making so-called "gangsters" have nightmares about.

Refuse to be a victim - drive armed (if you live in a free state). If you live a an oppressive state: MOVE.

When I stated in my original post; . . . "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)"

I do not have to solely rely on my size/frame to get me or others out of harms way. If you catch my drift. . .

Evil only exists - When good people do nothing.
For the record -- I'm a do'er
