Thread: Our cars are officially intimidating!!!

  1. #1

    Our cars are officially intimidating!!!

    Well its official! Not like we all didn't already know it but our cars make other drivers think twice about taking their chances with us big boys. Example: Two days, 4 cars, no takers. 1st car was a Trans Am and he slowed down when I reved the engine. He didn't want to try. Oh well. Next was a 2005 Mustang and yet again at the traffic light the driver just didn't even want to go. See a pattern yet? Anyways, 2005 GTO. Now this guy played around a little but when pushed came to shove at the traffic light, he backed down. Last but not least my favorite was a ricer Eclipse with a lown mower exaust that started to gun his weed wacker next to mine and then was quick to shut it down when the Mighty Marauder let out a monsterous growl. Just absolutely love this car. It has "kills" without even having to race it. Just a little story I hope you enjoy!

    I would love to believe you, but how do you know they wanted to race? Often times, no matter what I'm driving, I'll just hum along minding my own business.

    Gah, I'm sounding old

    They looked over, took a long hard stare at the Marauder and then wouldn't even look back after I tried to coax them a little...you know...a little rev of the exhaust and a little inching up at the light but nada. And this is also after I witnessed these cars driving fast and racing other vehicles on the road. So I assumed they wanted to play but no such luck.

    I have one better than racing others. I laugh at some of the people who rev up at me, I laugh loud enough so they can here me over fart cans and glass packs. That usually hurts their feel bads so much they just do something stupid and I make a point. I will show if I have too, but this just as fun....

    I like that,.. I did the very same thing to some goofy ass kid not too long ago,.. then to add insult to injury, I gunned it and left him in my smoke.

    I love this car.

    Maybe they think you are trying to trick them. I was driving a prisoner to the county jail and we passed a MM. The guy in the back asked me, "is that a narc car?" I laughed and replied "no way, the city would never buy us Marauders, they buy Impala's!!

    I can't tell you how many cars I've passed on the higihway,
    to have them slow down once they have spotted me.
    It is so funny.

    I've also scared enough people into wearing their seat belts at intersections.

    Now if I could only do something to get the Cell Phone talkers to hang up...

    My wife actually does the laughing for me. I just grin. She knows the stock Marauder can easily take all those noisy little toy cars. Kid flipped her off for laughing at his ricemobile recently. That made her laugh even harder.

    It is fun to control the flow of traffic, both in town and on the highway. Had a new GTO the other day follow me and then jumped in front of me at the light and then left about thirty foot of rubber...perhaps trying to entice me. No bite though...not in town.

    I have only gotten into it with a couple of minivans and what appeared to be a late seventies Continental. Never any "ricers" or Vettes or anything. The Conti was the only real challenge.

    I frequently end up driving very slow because the guy in front of me is compelled to slow way down when I get behind 'em. Then I go around them, and they feel safe and get up behind me.
    I've never driven so slow, so often in my life!

    The 2005 Mustang GT probably wouldn't have had much trouble beating you and the GTO might have as well. They sure intimidated easily, didn't they? No, flame intended, by the way.

    Perhaps it isn't as it appears. The other driver may simply not want to risk the heavy fine, loss of license etc. associated with street racing.
