Default My wagon disrespected by Maserati owner!

I was out last night because I ran the battery flat, so a quick run up and down the highway after I charged it to see if its right, yeah in the storming rain.

From behind my left side I had this black car, come up beside up, looking for a race and burned up after I ignored him. I saw a black car and thought it was another ricers lancer or something that probably cause an accident. Turned out it was a new Maserati coupe, definite V8 engine I heard.

I pulled to the lane next to him because I wanted to see want a Mazzi can do. He stopped a bit away from the lights and I stop in front of him. He looks over and starts laughing at my wagon! I guess because he only seen the back and with my badges off, so it’s looks like a GX. That is until he rolls a bit further and notices the hood scoop, the suddenly get all serious and just wait for the lights

Light turned green, heard his V8, and thats it!
I was across the intersection before he off over the first line, second and the gaps just widened, third gone.

Things may have been different in the dry, but launching a WRX in the wet makes it seem that much faster to anyone else!

Usally I wouldn’t post such things but he was such a w***k** and got what he deserved

I can believe this story. V8 RWD and a wet road - he'd have been lucky to use more than half throttle or complete loss of traction!

Serves the twit right for laughing at you!

Well done, GTO. A proper car freak shouldn't make that mistake.

I had a friendly race with a Golf vr6 today. On paper he's definitely faster then me, but he stayed right behind me all the time and didn't try to overtake me. We just enjoyed taking corners fast and overtaking other cars. At a crossing I went left where he went right and we just smiled at each other when our roads seperated. Respecting each other, that's what it's all about.

Yep that is what its all abotu, unfortuantly I get people like this mazzi owner, what ever.
Once you join a car club things change and you realise that there are plenty of people just like you that ejioy the same thing.

I went to a track day a few weeks ago, over 100 car, including Alfa, Nissan and HSV (V8) clubs. I though the V8 people would be really wankers since I drive a WRX but no they were really nice and friendly lot that helped me and had a great time with!

its ppl in car clubs and track days that know a thing or two about cars. they're the ppl that understand and respect all range of cars. a portion of them that aren't in a group, usually have no idea and are biased.

but i think the guy is just rich and bought anything that will give him social points
