^irvine is one of the more safer/docile cities too... just don't have an exhaust near cops.

The 405 is hell on earth.

Ya, people rage over the smallest things here. Try honking. Instant rage. Not sure if it is the same in nor-cal, but definitely not NY.

I have had tire sponsor stickers on the fenders for a few weeks now, and BBK/pads makes car squeals like a pig when I stop for redlights. Car is still slow but nobody wants to race me anymore

Had a bro trying to race me in his breadvan the other day (HHR SS). Went for a drive to listen to my new Perrin exhaust and was just making a left onto a four lane road and he is on my ass through the turn then flies into the left lane and drives perfectly beside me. Starts lurching the car as I'm cruising at about 5mph over the limit. Air temp was about 25* and the roads were probably colder. Not going to race anybody on public roads, much less on summer tires in the freezing cold.

Besides, in a straight line he would've demolished me. LOL.

last night i encounted a STI at a gas station

as he was pulling in, he kept giving his car that Civic Rev, over revving the motor for no reason at all


pulls up to the pump behind a jeep just so he could park his car next to mine (there were other pumps available to use)

again, to pull up maybe the 4 ft that he did, he kept having to over rev for noooo reason, parks the car and im already looking at him like "wtf mate"

gets out, comes over and asks how much HP i got,
told him its stock,

he doesnt beleive me, on a serious note, the car is stock

long story short, he wouldnt leave me alone, as i pull out of the gas station he rips it passed me, onto the on ramp for the highway,

dont know what was wrong with this kid, even on the highway he would slow down and wait for me to creep up on him, at this point i had cruise control set for 65-70

had NOOOOOO intension what so ever, would not quit

I live on the east coast, but had a contract job that took me to the west coast. Every other week for 4 years, I drove the 405 between LAX and Seal Beach. It was always an experience. And what is it with debris on the 405? It seemed to me there was always more crap on that freeway than most.

@coredump4 it is near the ports of long beach/los angeles. The biggest port(s) in the USA. Right next to each other. So trucks everywhere.

Just had a continental gt try to race me at a light last night. He started revving at me and i gave him an "are you serious look" then mugged him for a bit. He took off looking like an ass, i just drove normally. The driver was a 19 year old Chinese kid. SMH

Pretty much, there are TONS of them in Seattle. Not hating, but if you have the money show a little class... Young money syndrome i guess.

My CEO has a 911 turbo S, but drives it a few times a year. The rest of the year he drives a Tacoma with a beat up gem top.

I went to school near LA so I know this type very well. No freshman should have an M3 or 458 Italia. ಠ__ಠ
