Do you pretend you did not see them? Do you give them a thumb up? Do you try to race them?

Yeah I do that too when the car is really nice but when it's a riced out car, I pretend I did not see it......

This reminds me. I decided to drive my car tonight (The Cougar) and a Dodge Ram tries to screw around right in the middle of traffic. I simply turned up my music and went about my business. A long time ago, I probably would have tried to mess back, but honestly I know Im faster and have nothing to proove to him or myself. If someone rolls up next to me in another modded car (tastefully) Ill give a thumbs up or something to that affect. I dont ignore them or try not to at least because Im not stuck up and think Im better than anyone else.

Yeah, Im getting the vibe that most (not all) 350Z enthusiasts have a holier than thou attitude to Z-31/32s

Most people I just act like I dont see them or even look thier way because they are dumb ass's who feel if they have a muffler they wanna race and rev and speed up and slow down the whole time they are next to me, I cant stand fucking tool bags like that.

Since I went ahead and sold mine I'll admit it.. yes they do, G owners too. The cockiest ones were usually completely stock, of course not all of them are like that but a good amount are. The constant argument was if the Z or G was better than an M3 and most believed it was.
Usually if I see an Evo, M3, STi, 350Z, etc etc I'll try to see as much as I can, I'm just generally impressed with performance cars. Modified, it depends on how clean it is.

Same. I'll normally give props if it is a clean fast car. I dont get any attention from ricers in the wagon.

Early late twentysomething yr olds in the STi's are the worst period. They ALL have that the "STi is gods AWD chariot" attitude. But i ALWAYS make sure to avoid any contact with any EG/EK hatch at all because 99.99% of the time they wanna race.

It's suprising to see the reaction on some ppl's faces when I try to give them props for driving what I think is a respectable car...
I'll give thumbs-up's to ITR's, SRT-4's, 1g/2g DSMs, EK/EG's, Evo's, STi's, etc. It's funny cause a lot of ppl who drive ITR's or EG/EK's, even n/a, will give me that "wtf" kinda look. If they're tastefully clean, they get my respect.
Now, looks and reactions I get from 350z's, Supra's, corvette's, cobra's, lightning's, transam's, camaro's, and viper's is pure cocky-attitude.
Just my general experiences...

Try owning a 510. No Z car owners give me anything, or Datsun owners for that matter......unless they own a 510 also.
I don't care. Fuck'em all.

That is because when it comes to Evo owners you are the exception, not the rule.

When I see rice, I act oblivious, or just laugh. Yesterday, when I was turning into the industrial park where I work, a ricer in a 7th gen Civic reved at me. He was in the straight lane that was heading in the direction I was turning. I was dumbfounded. Then just laughed all the way to work. Most really nice cars, I'll give a big thumbs up, or something like that. I give a lot of respect.

If someone is in a nice car I will usually wave at them.
If it is riced out I will make is obvious that I am laughin at them. If they come up beside me revvin up and crap I will either just keep drivin normal or slam on my brakes if there is no traffic. When someone comes up behind me revvin up or flashin me I give them a brake check.

12-15-2005, 04:44 AM
i only give props when i see something extremely riced out or the like... lol i just want to let them know they are doing a good job of keeping me entertained... most of them dont even sense my sarcasm and think its a legit compliment... lolz

i usually throw a peace sign and other Z owners (wether Z31-z32 or z33), i get alot of love from the nissan guys on the roard in the Z, but i got to say.. the one that gets the most love is the STi.. every subaru guy i see gives a thumbs up or some sort of positive reaction, and i always give them back one as well.
if its something ricely gay.. and we catch a stop light.. i roll down my windows and get their attention and i say... "YOU ARE A FUCKING GAYFER!"

lol he said gayfer lol
i usually give props if its a well modded/clean car. As far as performance goes i get alot of cocky attitudes and if its someone i know i might be able to beat i'll give'm a run for the money real quick but if not i just shrug it off and know that they pay more car insurance and have to pay for premium and i don't :D

Do you pretend you did not see them? Do you give them a thumb up? Do you try to race them?
Depends on what you mean by "tuned up".
If it is a "clean" car that deserves some respect, I might nod at them. Depending on their reaction, I may or may not fuck with them.
If the car is all riced out with stickers, wings and is just ugly, I will by-pass the respect part and just fuck with them until the slow down or something along those lines. There's nothing like a few hard revs from a 911 turbo to knock some rice-boy off of his chair and make him wake up to the realization that he is just a poser. :)
Then again, not many cars will bow up to me as is; especially on the interstate.

depends on the car, and more times than not they come after me first. if it's a riced out car and they start revving up, most the time i just roll up my windows or start revving back then launch ultra-slow. always fun.

me either.. Usually I get the gawks as I pass by most tuner cars.. If its another supra I will nod or wave (cant honk cause I have no horn). But I dont get many cars at all that wanna play with me.. and when I do they are the z3's and clks and such...

This am on 78 a Honda with big exhaust and bondo on body came up quick behind me and flashed lights. It was traffic so I got to the right to exit to 285 and that sucka started revving that tin can. I was just LMAO.
I usually keep with traffic but if let them go if they want to play. Too many tickets and insurance woes... :(
I do wave and received waves from other Porsches though.. :D

12-15-2005, 03:34 PM
i nod...or just give a thumbs up
if it's riced out i ignore them and repeat the following to myself:
"the horror...the horror!!!"
or i begin to qoute 'the fast and bircurious'....
If I see one that is clean I'll give them the head nod. But if it's "rice" I act like I don't see them. Cause "ricers" are always trying to race the 240. Hell someone came by my house and just reved the hell out of his motor around 3am lastnight. That's the shit I hate the most. If I see a chick driving a nice car I always give her some props.

i just look and keep going if feel like having a little fun i will but i want to see something big like a supra or old school i like to see the look on there face after they try something and get rape now that is funny i have to get it on tap one day to show u there girl face
In the contour, people are always riding me. Its crazy in the month ive had it, ive had 2 people rev and spin out at the stop lights, and 1 guy try to race me on covington hwy, in traffic... most of the time i just look at their car to see if i know them, and say wahts up or soemthing. but i tried looking at this guys cobalt SS b/c i havent seen one on the street before, and the guy fucking lit the ires up adn drove off... thru the stop light...i just laughed..

Test His/or Her Gangsta!! Then stop and talk to'em.
I don't really see that many "fixed up" rides while I'm out. Maybe I'm not paying attention. I don't know. But I'd smile or something if my window was down I guess.

Honestly... sometimes when I see 100% stock 350z's with nice a nice "dunka dunka", I cream my pants and go shit crazy yelling out:
"HOLY SHIT, THAT THING IS A 300HP RWD CAR, OMGIZZLES!"
Just a random confession... =x
