totally.

I looked at a 2015 F80 recently the Carfax said it had 3 different owners and 3 accidents two of those accidents were moderate damage.

More idiots than fast cars these days I guess

And admittedly, its quite annoying, because they'll only ever try to race or tail gate you when its a straight open road but never ever bother you when you hit the twisties

Lot of Tesla owners are a bad mix of superiority and inferiority complex
Haha i second this. I see them try to stay glued to the bumper from the dig but almost never when on the highway or at any reasonable speed. Owners have probably figured the limitations of those powerplants by now

They are just as fast with a few BO's.... oh well... Oh yeah, there is also the BMW Dad who had to get the "family" car, so he settled for a X3 M40i or the like. I laugh a little inside at all of them....

When I had any of my WRX or STi, that was the worst. Everyone wants a piece. It was so annoying cuz as other has stated, street racing is for morons.

josh
Totally feel that. I have a couple 335 buddies in town. They feel it is their duty to try and show me how fast their stage 2 tunes are whenever were out driving together, but they still never seem to have the power to get around me if I dont want them to

Even tho im still stock lol

I seem to attract primarily the G35/G37 peeps lol. It's like the cars that know they can roast me (assuming I'm stock lol) don't bother, and the ones that know I'll roast them are too scared to try, but the Infiniti bros, welp, they give zero F's and just pedal to the metal every time

Thankfully, other than a little quick playing, I don't engage those yahoos because I've seen the way most of them drive. It ain't pretty, and it sure as *** ain't safe

Bunch of old lames stuck up their own arse in this thread.

Lighten up, and have a little fun. You bought a high performance car. Don’t be surprised if other enthusiasts want to play around.

Remember, you’re driving a M3 not an original Ferrari 250 GTO. Come back to earth.

Happy Thanksgiving to every dork in here that stares straight ahead and cowers in fear when they encounter another sports car on the street.

Nobody cowers at a fucking g37 dipshit. We're ignoring them.

Did you flex real hard when you hit submit? This thread and the people in it are a joke. People need to lighten up and have some fun.

What happened to smiling and waiving or just generally not being a soulless lame stuck up their own arse because of a 30k difference in vehicle value.

Doesn’t play well with others.

I get both sides of of the argument but the posters here are not lame.
Aside from the ego issue, there is a very strong case of safety here. But I’ve done that before in my less than mature age and survived to type this. It’s not about being uptight and not willing to have fun.

Here’s a perspective:
Sure, one could get give in and decide to have some fun. 99 times it turns out alright, we race that car and just egos are bruised.

But that 1 time something goes wrong, we are either 1) upset that we damaged cars or more sadly, 2) upset that someone is hurt and there are legal issues in addition to monetary, physical damage. Yes, these are not super cars, but speed doesn’t differentiate (and we know how fast cars are today). I’m sure a lot of us have seen horrific crashes and shake our heads.

The smarter play is to keep do this sort of thing at a closed track.

If people do, I don't tend to notice. I have had a few WRXs try to line up but its mostly just thumbs up or "nice car" comments. I think Chicagoland car culture is tamer than either coast and I have no interest trying to race some 19 year old who probably has crappy insurance. However, when I travel to the Northeast and go through NJ, everyone and their mom in a BMW tries to race me or get me to drive with them.

Look at it from another point of view, I had a guy in a brand new minivan that probably sold for more than my car is worth bait me into getting on it just because he wanted to see how fast the car was and how it sounded (told me at a light, super cool person)

Most slower cars just want to see you go

That's fair and it makes sense actually. I'd probably want to hear and see what a Lexus LFA could do too if I happened to come across one (emphasis on hearing it lol)

I'm enjoying the lack of attention I get in the M4. Sold my E46 M3 and had two Charger Hellcats since then. Those things are magnets for dipshits on the street.
