A few cars toyed around with me, some very laughable, but some were real tough...

1. E39 M5 (Bye bye Pete!) <_< NO FAIR!!
2. Honda Accord and Civic (Are you kidding me? No Honda exhaust in my face! Bye!)
3. Toyota Wish (Minivan trying to race me? Aren't you suppose to pick up your kids from soccer? Well i beat you there...!)
4. E60 525 posing as an M5 (The guy didn't dare to go faster than 180km/h, so I bowed out nicely and say bye bye to the couple!)

Other than that were just a few japanese tuners, like EVO and OMG! a Skyline GTR 34... I love that car but damn that thing was fast fast fast!!

Oh and just today, a very old Mercedes E190 or something, I couldn't stop laughing after I downshift and just said bye bye to the offensive driver who by the way honked me from behind, cut me off, and stayed side by side for awhile... I was like, what did I do to you?! <_< :thumbsdown:

I guesss I'm a little discriminant when it comes to female drivers. I stay away faaaarr . . . either way ahead or waaaay behind. Though, lately, I've had more female than male driving very spirited. I just assume their in a hurry.

I do noticed that when females try to "toy" with me, they're very indirect, when usually leaves me, the challenger, at a disadvantage. On the hand, male drivers are direct . . . and you know when they want to "toy."
Hmm.. what do you mean by indirect?? Maybe that's my problem, I need to be more forward to race...

No eye contacts. They just step on the pedal . . . sometimes cutting me off or just driving damn fast. So when I catch up, they act like their minding their own business when clearly, they tailgate despite an available lane on the left, moves up next to me, and then steps on the accelerator.

Normally, I look over at who is passing and if they don't look back, that usually means that they are in a hurry in their own way . . . given that they didn't tailgate despite available lanes. But if they pass me, cut me off, and slows down, they're toying. If they pass me fast and continue fast, well, they're usually in a hurry in their own ways.

People don't normally "cut" in front of me. Most of the time, I give them the benefit of the doubt, especially women . . . Most of the time, no one drives fast and cuts someone off by accident. Using the sign also let others know that you're not toying around. It's usually a combination of driving characteristic that defines "toying."
