Unhappy I feel so old

Coming home from work this punk in a Mustang GT overtakes me on a way 25mph residential road where people are stopped for even doing 30mph. So he basically redlines past me and it sounds like the same punk who runs down the road past midnight doing 100mph every other few days.

So I followed the speed racer, he ran a stop sign, then started looping a residential road obviously by now realized I'm following him. After 2 loops he probably had his pants full as he was doing 25mph blinded with high beams from a dark car he just cut off following him in a deserted neighborhood

Got his plates and the local PD said they'll 'check it out'

That's good to hear man, I hate punks like that. Also when they have their system turned all the way up.

I commend you! I hate being a teenager. Don't get me wrong its fun, but there's too many of those idiots running around giving us bad insturance rates and a bad rep. I also can't stand people who drive very quickly, especially in residential areas. Speed limits are there for a reason, as well as stop signs. Though I doubt the cops will do anything, I hope they catch him on something.

Me and my buddies did something like that a few years back in college. Some kids cut us off while we were in my buddies Bronco then flicked us off (can't remember exactly why, it was a while ago). We followed them around for about 20 minutes until they finally got scared enough they pulled up into a driveway. Guess they thought we wouldn't dare get out of the vehicle in a residential area if we thought it was their parent's house. We did get out, told them they should really think twice about flicking off unknown people, especially when they are rather puney, then laughed and told them to have a nice day (we weren't the type of guys to pick fights). The look on their faces was priceless, they were pretty pale when we walked up to them.

Yah it's too bad cops really don't go after these nuts until they run someone over. I wasn't pissed that they passed me, I was pissed because these folks paid 1/3 to 3/4 mil $ to live in a quiet neighborhood, kids are all over the place, as well as bike riders and joggers in the late hours.

They should make a law, 3 complains from citizen's on a licensee plate = real ticket

You won’t believe this ! I'm coming from work again, on a 4 way road, 2 each way, when this Eclipse with no lights on at 5PM whips in front of me so fast that I swear he barely didn’t loose control!

I flashed my highs at the genius. He of course opens his roof and gives me the finger like I go to his pothead high school and would get offended Light turns green and he sits there waving the finger. Everyone is honking at him, reversing it and going around. When I put it in reverse he speeds away with all he’s got chirping the tires. Does this 3 times!

I swear these kids need to be beat daily!
Is there any way to lookup who the plates are registered to? Cops don't do , but I would go over the twerps house and have a talk with their parents!

MY ex-wife called me one night crying that her Datsun 510 was just stolen, I quickly got into my 510 and went for a cruise around where she lives. On one of the side streets the car passed me by. Needless to say I quickly hung a u turn and went after them. The two punks that were in the car thought that they could out run me..... Considering at the time I had 747 landing lights mounted, I turned them things on, they had no way of getting away from me. I was blasting my horn and chased them for about 5 minutes before they finally pulled over and bailed, those two were scared less the next day when I went up to them with my pistol in hand. Yes I knew who they were since they lived in the same condo complex as my ex.....needless to say never had any problems with them ever again......

MY ex-wifes 510 was stock but lowered......

My 510 which I still have is a GT3 class race car, that I no longer could run in that class, after I built a 2.4L 250 HP motor for it. Now it sits inside my garage, collecting dust. It's gonna be a project vehicle for me and my son next summer.

It was fun blasting around the neighborhood watching those idiots as they tried everything to lose me. I just toyed with them, pulling right up on their bumper then backing way off. Ironically no cops in sight, but after the car was abandoned I pulled the ignition wires went and got my ex. The cops finally showed up afterwards, someone in the neighborhood called them.

I was in the middle lane and I had an idiot turn a quick right into the right lane in his old 73 dodge diesel the other day, he got a tire squirly and nearly took it to the curb. Then he overcorrects it towards my lane. Then when he recovers he starts speeding like a bat of out hell weaving in and out of cars like he's in a porsche, I get to a red light, look over and its a punk teenager with his dog beside him.

Just now there was a chopped springs accord with no lights on (9:25pm), well he had his hazards on but no headlights, seeing as how he is 3 lanes over and wouldn't think I was flashing my lights at him I didn't... Luckily, just down the road I saw a cop with no lights waiting in a sidestreet... Maybe he'll learn his lesson that little blue tinted hazard lights don't cut it on the road.

i used to own a 99 f150 that i lifted and threw 35's under, one night while my wife (gf at the time) were driving down the freeway, this red car just merged right infront of me. cut me off. i was pissed, so i turned on my fog lights, and put my brights on and rode his ass for about 3 minutes, when my cell phone rang.
"Hey, its chad, get off my ass".......it was a buddy of mine who was infront of me! omg, needless to say i backed off, but gave him a word or two over the phone.
