I reallly hate ricers.
So I'm cruising back from Phoenix to Flagstaff heading North on I-17. Its kinda a winding steep mountain road in some places. In the straight areas I usually have my cruiscontrol set to 80mph and just settle in for a relaxing drive listening to Howard on Sirius.
Well I've got my radio up pretty loud but this overpowering farting sound comes up next to me. I look over and this hideous rusted out bucket of a toyota corola with a fat pipe on the back (the only non rusted part I could see) had pulled along side of me. He then gunned his engine and treated me to yet more of this worse than nails on chalkboard screeach.
I just laugh (wishing I had my camera for the ricer pics section) and go back to listening to howard talk about Carmen Electra on the Sybian.. Bout a minute later I see see this toyota corola again in front of me in the same lane. Now he's going slower than me, (remember I'm on cruise control). I sigh and change lanes to pass like normal so I don't have to change cruise setting. No sooner then when I'm about to pass him I hear him gun that godawfull sounding crap again and pull ahead of me. He then changes lanes in front of me and slows down again.
Oh now I'm flipping pissed. WTF is this guys problem?
I'm a poor college student who can't afford to get caught racing. So I gritt my teeth and drop the cruise control to 75mph. The ******* then reduces his speed to 65 and forces me to cut the cruise control. I swap lanes to go around and accelerate normally to 85mph. Soon as I start passing he does the same crap again, accelerate and then get in front of me and slow down.
Now I'm gripping the wheel tight because I want to rip this guys head off and stick it in his fat **** tail pipe. I considered calling highway patrol and giving them his Liscence number. This guy continued to do this to me for another 15min. Sometimes slowing all the way down to 50mph to force me to get up next to him when I want to go around. Luck would have it though we just start to enter the mountainous part of the road, a really good uphill grade.
I roll down the window, look at him, give him the finger, then maintain 80 all the way up the steep grade and watch him dissapear down below in the curvy roads, all the while hearing the distant sound of a 4 banging fart pipe redlining trying to catch up echoing through the canyon.
I'm under no illusions that my V6 is fast, but damn oh damn did this guy **** me off. WTH was he thinking?

Yeah, I hate homos like that... Prettymuch the same situation is why I got a ticket once... That was because instead of slowing down like I should have, I floored it around him.. haha oh well.
But I definitly would have done your last step first. I would have rolled the window down and gave him a nice big rocket of a finger.

Heh thanks, though I really wish I coulda just opend the throttle, I just couldn't bring myself to do it. hehe
I was thinking I probably shoulda let AZ-Highway Patrol know AND left him in the dust on the uphill.

I honestly don't understand why they try ... seriously ... Is it because they think that since they have one or two fast cars in their same make (Toyota in this case), they can slap a disgusting Folgers can on the back and call it a Supra?
Anyway, nice job keepin it cool. Most ricers aren't worth putting to shame.

Yeah, if someone tried to run my friend over I'd probably kick his butt ... Or punch his window out. And cut his fuel line. And put a match to it. And step on his face. Haha ... well ... something like that.
