I definitely do have a slight bias towards letting other BMWs over though.

I actually had a little "Subie wave" type moment on the 405 with a modded M4 on the way back home from getting my downpipe installed. Solid 10 miles of pure burbles from both of us

At the same time, if I feel like taking it easy, I'll keep right and take it easy. But for some reason at the wonderful times when LA traffic isn't going anywhere and neither am I, I've noticed that people who are driving Foresters in particular tend to tailgate me as if I have an open road in front of me and we're on a single-lane street. Wish I had a better explanation. LA is a weird place.
Forester? ... You know who I have problem with tailgating me...damn Pruises. They like to tailgate and also police the fast lane.

Sometimes the prius drivers think their electric torque is going to give them the upper hand.

Tastefully modded BMWs perhaps.

I know, I know, not the same thing...

Then you overtake to the right cause they hugging the left lane.. you try to make eye contact while overtaking and all they do is look straight....trying really hard not to look to the right and make eye contact....

They're JUST quick enough to be an obstacle to get around and annoy the hell out of everyone else....

I think they should add a screen cap button on the back-up cam to take pics of idiots front plates tailgating.......

Damn how stupid are these guys doing this in the rain? Unfortunately lots of "bro's" drive modded BMW's. If you're by the 405, it's probably the college "bro's" or valley "bro's" 😂.

I saw a Mineral Gray 430i yesterday on the 10 east near mid city and thought it was this same guy, haha.

He was flooring it and slamming his brakes in the wet freeway to cut people off while cars were going a max of 25 mph. It's an epidemic.

This happened to me just the other day. I was getting on I5-N at Elk Grove Blvd and slid over to the fast lane, as always. Traveling 80-82 mph, a black Prius flew up on my bumper after cutting off a few cars behind me and went to make a pretty aggro passing maneuver around me, intending to get back into the lane before his rear bumper had past my front.

I let it happen and then slid into the middle lane until we were door to door to share my feelings about his driving.

He pinned the throttle to escape...which on a Prius, at freeway speed, summons precious little acceleration...so I just stayed right there while he gained speed a couple of mph at a time.

The lanes were clear, so I wasn't bothered, my F30 M Sport humming happily down the road in 6th gear...also knowing full-well exactly where the CHP likes to hide in the break of the median in the center of the freeway.

About half a mile from that point, I started to let him pull ahead...just a few feet at a time. He was pounding on his steering wheel in delight, fully convinced that he was gaining and that I had petered out and lost this epic battle against his Toyota toaster.

He passed that CHP going much faster than he intended to...and I slowed a bit to wave as I passed his, now parked, Prius.

You're welcome CHP...so welcome.

That's such a satisfying story! How I wish I had the power to summon the CHP at will!

Majority of the jackass drivers around me are the Subbie owners and mostly the non-sti owners. FRS/BRZ owners are the same. I'm not sure why, but they probably don't like my car?

Lol I bet their spouse turned it off and they are so used to it being automatic that they don't realize it's off!

Nah man.... I don't really want to call out people like that... this thread is good enough.... if your that guy, you can answer here or you don't have to. So no license plate number posting or identification.

That thread would eventually lead to forum members calling each other out without realizing it. It'd be inevitable.

Every post involving a mineral grey 430i already has me thinking back and questioning where I was driving that day
