Had enough of Tailgaters
Since gas is pretty expensive these days, i've been driving nicely & keep it under 3000 RPM. But i just can't stand people keep tailigating me like they want to kiss the rear of the Z's bumper or something. I've had enough tonight being tailgate by a brand new evo. Instead of trying to run away from the EVO, i just drive a little slower than normal and then the EVO just change line & took off. Have you guys encounter this kind of tailgaters & what would you do? Gun it or slow down?

I love getting tailgated by someone in a car that you know can't stop quick enough in a dire situation. Makes me nervous as all get out. I usually keep my foot on the gas at tap the brake (hard) with my left foot. For some reason people feel that if they're six inches closer to you, they're going to get wherever they're going quicker. Aggravating!
