I-355 Northbound: d-bags on parade!

So, I hopped on I-355 North at Boughton in Bolingbrook tonight (Chicagoland). Right as my wife and I were getting through the Toll, I saw a group of Mazda3's and MS3's off on the shoulder waiting for each other. They took off and made all-around ******** of themselves. Tailgating each other and anyone that got near them, accelerating and braking randomly from 60-75mph, weaving in and out of traffic. Noone was really racing, because I don't consider that speed to be racing, but everyone was just driving like complete douche nozzles! Someone, most likely an innocent bystander, could have really gotten hurt.

I was hoping to find one of you to chime in to tell me what was so fun about that. I was considering getting an MS3 after I sell my GTO in a year or two, but if this is the culture I'm buying into, then I'm not too excited about the prospect anymore.

Hopefully these guys are the exception to the rule. Thoughts?

Thanks for listening!

Those guys sound like a buncha idiots. Most Mazda drivers I know have been pretty damn cool. A lot of the (in my area anyway) track their cars, so there's no need to **** off on the side of the public road like that.

Sound to me like some high school kids saw your GTO and got all brave.

If he was in fact driving the GTO he's probably crying since he got his *** beat by me.
