Is it me, or is it that everyone races me off the line at a stop light
It seems to me that every time I am at a stop light and im first in line, the car next to me seems to gun it extra hard to be like, ha I beat this car with this hood scoop and big wing. No matter what type of car, they gun it off the line to show me up. Its been bugging me out lately, just thought I would post and see if anyone else thinks this is happening to them. The most common is older women in their vans or suv's or I get the occasional nice bmw or benz gunning it off the line.

your not the only one lol, people here do that around me a lot for some reason and this is just with my regular wrx. I expect it from ricers but its not just them, people in big sedans and suvs do it too. My car isn't loud anymore and I don't do anything to suggest im racing like rev or inch forward, people are wierd.

ha yeah recently an old lady in a TL raced me. It was soo funny my friend couldn't believe that this old bitch smoking her cigarette floored it. I was shifting at 5k and we were neck and neck, when i shifted to third she blew past me. The acura tl is almost as fast as a stage 1 wrx.

Happens to a few friends of mine. I've got a wagon, and its probably happened like twice in the last 6 months. Doesn't really bring out the racers.

I get bicycles gunning me at the line. I get a good launch, but that 18th gear of theirs is really high-end.
