People that feel like they have to show off suck
My favorite is when people try to race you when there's nowhere to go. I drive a one lane road to and from work every day, always packed with traffic and school busses. Everyone with a muffler or a sticker has to launch from a light, or rev it up in a school zone when they see me. I still don't know what the point of that is. Maybe that's the Asshat Mode that 'deftones' was referring to.

Some people are just stuck in asshat mode 24/7 and you might just so happen upon them in your wanderings. Try not to take everything so personally.

Don't sweat it. Most people while in there cars are looking for a way to have fun with them. They might not even really be challenging you just racing around themselves. When I see a nice car and there is some open road, I like to play; even if I know I'm out classed. It's just in some people's blood to race what they brung. Lol !!!What kills me is when a bike rolls up to me in my Camaro and don't know what I got.
Most of the time on the street it looks like:
At the track:
Not too many bikes can beat a 9 second car. But, there are some. Those races are really good!
Of course, I don't race on the street though.
To me my Z is a sporty economy car that does it all really well for a great price !!!
And I've owned a couple:
Plus a 240, 280ZX and another 300ZXT that I didn't get pictures of. Doh !!!
Oh - I must suck cause I like to show off too.

OP, just ignore them happens to me all the time. I tried to warn a TC driver of a cop by flashing my hazards, he thought I wanted to race.

Back to the topic ..... sorry OP. People just like be proud of what they have I guess. ;-)
Heck, I was proud of my '74 Pinto when I was 15 .... just because I worked for it and it had a sunroof. Lol !!!
Then I sold it for a real car ......

i enjoy the show offs. I wont lie, i will probably only race when i feel threatened. You know what i mean. For ex. i had a guy roll up to me when i was leaving to see a movie with my girlfriend. Got to the light right before the freeway and there was almost a 1/4 flat stretch before the lanes merge. Normally i would have just said what ever, but when i looked over at all his reving and saw him look at me then my g/f, and to top it all off put his arm around his g/f and give me the my s#$t is better than yours look, it was on. I killed him. BMW-- 0 Rx-7-- 1. Import power. I still miss my TT FD3S
