Sorry, minor hijack attempt here....

I'm just wondering if someone could shed some light on the mentality of guys who drive cars like that.

Yesterday, I'm driving through a parking lot, and a car like that is behind me. I drive a '92 Euro Lumina My 1 1/2 yr. old is in a car seat in the back. Did I mention it's a parking lot, one with a lot of speedbumps!

He's on my a$$ the whole way out of the parking lot (I'm not a slow driver in general, I'm actually quite agressive) But I'm not gonna fly over speedbumps. Anyway, I turn right onto the road which I then have to turn right again about 100metres up. So I'm in the right lane. I see that he wants to get past me, so I assume he's going straight as he's in the left lane.

I'm being a little facicious and punch the little lumina a bit and don't let him get to far ahead of me before I have to turn right. Well apparently he was turning right also wanted to get in front of me to do it! Well I guess I forced him to have to slow down (heaven forbid!) and go back behind me.

I turn right, guy on a$$, knowing full well he's going to fly by me when we turn.

He does, which I laugh at, as I just meet him a few seconds later at the next light where we are both turning left now.

Anyway, he turns and floors it and is gone...good riddance!

Why would a guy like that drive like that around me! I mean I'm well aware that I'm not ever gonna "take him" in my Lumina, nor would I even try! Yes you have a fast car, and you can beat a Lumina with a baby in the back! Woopie!!

Just curious to what the thought process is....

Carry on!

Nice....and only 33 pounds? I had thought that these conversions added a lot of weight...guess I was wrong.

He probably saw that you were a female then felt that he had to exert his inundation of testosterone by driving erratically. Some guys are just like that no matter what car they are driving. About 75% of the time when I drive up next to a guy in a sports car they'll do their best to pass me. It's even worse when they have their girlfriend in the car, because it's as though I insult their manhood by passing them.

It's a testosterone thing, and not all men are victims of neanderthalisms

So many jokes and so little time.


And that car looks sweet. Someday. Sigh.

Oh totally! My sweetie has always owned something that has guts...but he knows he drives a fast car and does'nt need to prove it to everyone he sees on the road! He says he's disciplined a few punks who will drive up beside him in there riced up hondas, fart cans a roaring, and think they've got something fast...but only if the situation is safe and it's just once off the line, and then that's that.
