when your in your non fbody dd
For some reason when I'm in my outback I get every turboed car and slow n/a cars trying to mess with me. When I'm in my t/a nobody makes an attempt. My cars only a 3.0 outback not an STI. I'm not saying I condone street racing, but it gets annoying after a while. Does this happen to any of you guys?

i think its the fact that the camaro/firebird is a 2dr semi/performance car and people are scared to mess with it, and since the outback isnt racey they want to boast and try to walk all over it thinking their car is awesome.
for some reason when i drive my moms h2 no one messes with me

People don't try and race my truck but they do flybys and rev since most people know it's me. I guess I'm famous!

You do not know the meaning of the words "ricer harassment" until you have pillar gauges.

Most definitely. A friend of mine had pillar gauges in his '00 Impreza 2.5 RS (along with aftermarket wheels and a Prodrive spoiler), and the amount of ricers that tried to run his car was crazy.

Yes. If you do, do what I did and install a kill switch for your lighting. That way you can kill the gauges at night if a ricer is nearby.

Yeah, if you try to race them they get all bitchy. What's up with that.

Haven't had anyone try in the G8, at least that i'm aware of. In the Silverado, it's not that they are racing, they just think it'll be easy to jump me on the light and get in front of me. They are wrong!
