People driving like assholes around me

Actually 250hp used to be fast... but that was 20 years ago.

Duck Sauce · 06-13-2018, 06:47 PM

When I had my Green Hellcat cruising through traffic on the highway was awesome. It would literally part the sea. I lost count of how many people would pace me when I was going "slow" and just take video or pictures.

Getting ready to take delivery of my Grigio Telesto M3 and I'm curious to see the reactions it elicits. I have rarely seen an F80 in my area of NH. I know they're out there, a see an SO one going east on 101 once in a while but I'm thinking I'll have some similar reactions

The problem is it's plenty fast at speed on the highway, but then at that point those engines are on the flat point of the curve, and then when they slow down even a little and you want to pass them effortlessly, they get pissed and chase you down like an injured hamster for miles.

In my area, regardless of the type of car driven, time of day, nor road conditions....people LOVE that left lane!!

I live in Epping but commute to concord and Manchester. Mostly up and down 101 or at the coast.

goaliechris · 06-16-2018, 09:49 AM

This happens pretty often. 3 weeks ago it was a new yellow Corvette. Today it was a new Charger R/T. I typically ignore but it was clear today so it was fun to accelerate. Quicker than both those cars it seemed.

lol I love weaving in the F80 when traffic is congested but moving at like 40 mph. feel like barry sanders...watched a newer STI tried to keep pace and got boxed in.

Bouncing around in traffic in 6th gear with ease really puts a smile on my face

How can you miss anything living in SD?? Tacos, weather, beach, paved roads...what else does one need?

I second this! Same location!

I get compliments on my car pretty often around Austin, and it's MG

: It's a (edit) vert tho, maybe it's a top-down thing.

Amusingly, a lot of those big trucks (specifically F250 diesels) would try and race me - guess they were chipped...

But it's easy to ignore the dorks trying to race in traffic, that's just pointless.

Cheers

Lol idk man. Maybe it's cause I got BSM. either way I prefer to stay low key so I enjoy the lack of attention. I prefer to blend in with the rest of the crowd.
