Drivers that show contempt (in any form) against the Lancer

Today driving home from work came across a certain driver. The sort of driver that shows such hatred they harbor towards Lancers; its not limited to WRX's either, inter model hatred (including other Lancers) :lol: Usually they will either overtake you, rev their engine (if they are at the side of you) or they will throw an insult your way.

Tonight had a WRX, bog eyed version. Pulled up behind me coming off the freeway. Always check in the mirrors to see how far up your ass they are. This driver obviously didnt like Lancers. At all... Shook his head and rolled his eyes. I found it funny and I think he saw when I laughed and stuck my tongue out. Lights went green and off everyone went.

Not the WRX owner though, bad attitude he had. Floored it. In an 80k zone which drops to 60 as they doing roadworks putting new barriers in. WRX driver kept going. Doing alot more than the speed limit. Absolute hero,who got the ultimate form of karma though, I pulled up behind him at the lights and went off to turn and he got cornered by another Lancer :lol: Modified too, not a CJ though. Other Lancer was doing the speed limit with impatient WRX owner behind and me at the side doing speed limit too. WRX driver was fuming! Both Lancers kept this up till one of us had to turn and the impatient one floored first chance he got.

At what point does hatred towards another car warrant breaking road laws?? What else have anyone else seen going on and the karma payback if they witnessed it.

When will people realise that we all like cars? Some people target visual mods, some horsepower and some both. People like different cars. When does it make it ok to bag people out, worse cause violence.

I am sure a lot of people don't like my car. But it was only done for one person and that is me! There are people who drive Lancers that are just as bad also....

Do people really specifically dislike Lancer/Lancer drivers?

Personally, I hate idiots on the road, regardless of what they drive.

I thought we all ganged up against Volvo drivers only?

I reckon anyone in a Subaru Imprezza always looks at a Mitsu Lancer, there's mutual envy and in a way competition.

Same relationship between Ford and Holden owners.
Or
Audi Vs BMW

I've had the privilege of having a M3 and a RS4 go at each other at the lights... .

But contempt is just a level this relationship should never reach.

I get it from the idiots at work, and the guy across from my mums house, he thinks that his dato ute (that is rusted out and missing buts and pieces everywhere) is better than my 09 VRX sports back, the guys at work I reckon r just jealous that my car is better than theirs

i hate wankers like this.

fair enough, you dont like the model, you're entitled to your opinion and I respect that, but if you're gonna act like an idiot then they can go die in a fire.

People like this make me angry. /rage

Ignore 'em I say, don't react in any way to any form of Intimidation, that way they don't know if they have got under your skin or not.

Abit off topic: I know i shouldnt be encouraging unsafe driving, but last night about 12pm i met a bug eyed impreza at the lights we gave eachother abit of a rev then hit it. I can honestly say impreza's arent all that great :) 2 out of 3 red lights i was 3 car lengths ahead.

Ha this happened to me today!!! Had a small peckered bloke in his New GT roll up next to me, look over and start laughing and shaking his head. We did our thing and I took him easy.

When we met up at the next round about I wound down my window and asked him if he was shaking his head cause he new he would lose? Hahaha his face was priceless!!!!!!!

That's epic :P

But our lancers compared to the imprezzas are faster..
I've only raced one but I beat it by a decent amount.

imprezas would probably own lancers on those twisties with that awd they have , but top end car for car , the evo x will rape sti over and over again :)
