fly bys (semi rant)

has anyone ever encountered this annoyence

you are driving home on a saturday afternoon or any day for that matter, your windows are down and the stero on easy listening, when all of a sudden a car (usally a civic) coming toward you in the other lane sees your window down and he cant resist the urge to nail his car so that i can be blessed enuf to hear his fart pissed off buzz can!?

does anyone know why they HAVE to do this everytime?

anyone else have this happening everyday???

its not even end of spring and im tired of listening to them as they prove their "man hood" by flying by me

just getting it out, its really retarded argh.....

This really really pisses me off too. Just the other day, I was driving my dad's shitbox 83 Accord slightly agressively, but not trying to race anyone or **** like that. This newer Civic w/ a huge "H" logo on his rear window decided to downshift and floor it to I coud hear his "wonderful exhaust note" as he was passing me in the left lane. WTF.

maybe he needed to downshift, to get into that high rev range where his vtec would hit in. cuz otherwise he wasn't making enough power to pass you... lol lol

A few weeks ago, I was walking with my wife along some stores near my home.

Some riceboy moron thinks it's time to show off, and he's sitting in his car, revving the **** out of it. It sounded horrible, of course, and was loud and annoying as hell.

There were lots of people around, and just like ricboy ******* wanted, they are now all looking at him.

So once he's blown his load and stops his nonsense, I felt the need to let him know how goddamn impressed we all were with his display of nothing.

So I said to my wife, in a very loud voice (so that he and everyone else could hear) "You know, I used to have a car that sounded just like that - so I got off my lazy ***, went to Midas, and had it FIXED."

The 10 or so people in the area of his car (some just walking, and a couple of friends of his hanging out) BUSTED out laughing. I thought the guy was gonna cry. The strangers he was trying to impress were now laughing hysterically at him....poor baby!

He ground his car into first gear (made us laugh even harder) and got the **** out of Dodge. Surely, he was off to another place to try to impress another group of people.

Best of luck, riceboy. We're sorry mommy and daddy didn't pay much attention to you when you were a kid.

ha ha "Midasize it!" It always seems to be the guy with the $10 exhaust, too. The proverbial "Angry bumble-bee in a beer can" sound.
BTW hihoslva, how's your finger? I think I remember you cutting it a while ago.

It was my hand actually - no matter - doing well. I still have some pain, and it's not exactly totally healed yet, but it's getting there.

I'm starting to think I might have a permanent bump or damage in the area.

It's all good though - I'll live .

Thanks for asking!

I sometimes wonder the same question. The worst is when they try to pass on the right and have to cut u off because there lane was going slower. then i normally downshift and get away from them

I always find the fly-by funny when they shoot by and then get caught in traffic further ahead and you just drive by them slowly. My roommate and I had a laugh onetime when a Cavalier with a wastebasket muffler came tootling up to us with the hippity-hop and bouncing and making his car sound horrible. This guy with only the palm on the wheel starts sneering and revving and speeding up and slowing down to egg us on. Get to a light. Al turns up the Chicago - Baby Please Don't Go (from Three Kings sdtk) and we're laughing. Light turns green, Al's Spec V completely embarasses this clown for about half a block then we slow down to match speeds. Well this guy would have none of that, b/c he kept slowing down so as not to catch up to us. Finally he does (we're are practically stopped) and we crank up the music, this time a little Tommy Boy's "Don't you remember you told me you love me baby" (of which I don't remember the technical name).

I love slow corny songs in fast cars, especially when you sing along to them.
