you guys ever regret lowering your car?
 
when some idiot pulls up behind you with his lights shining in your face.. so then you gota tilt your head to the side just to avoid being blinded...

ESPECIALLY the damn guys in the trucks with the damn thing lifted purposly doing thing ..... he doesnt just stop a little ways back.. pulls right up almost bumpers touching.. not ony that but with damn HIDs headlights and FOGLIGHTS!!! damn..

yes last night was bad.. some damn guy in a dodge ram.. HID headlights and fog lights... as i accelerated, he does the same thing.. i switch lanes, he switch lanes.. this happned for about a good 5 blocks until a cop car was making a right turn heading my direction.. then he only backed up and turned off the fogs..

i slowed down so that he passed me.. was that crazy or what

then drive slow and piss him off

gdoh 05-05-2010 10:01 AM

^ yea just slow down make him really mad ahaha i always do it....

Mugen EvOlutioN 05-05-2010 10:05 AM

nope never look back.


truck drivers are always assholes, get use to it

this is probably the only thing that pisses me off about having a lowered car. in my EK it's fine because i have tint but in my EF it's pretty damn annoying.

this happened to me too last night, i think it was a jeep.

Do a mirror delete.

ps. in my dd a 03' Accord I still get that same shit from lifted trucks.

Phil@rise 05-05-2010 10:45 AM

Don't knock the guy with the lifted truck. Thats auto bigotry

i think he means being blinded in the rearview

you don't need a lowered car to have this problem. my car is stock ride height and i still have this problem all the time

bloodmack 05-05-2010 11:07 AM

I dont even have my car lowered and i get this problem with lots of trucks and SUV's, I figure if i lower my car the light will shine over my head :P Why not get a darker rear window tint?

jpark 05-05-2010 11:15 AM

bloodmack 05-05-2010 11:31 AM

Never regret lowering, whenever I get some jackass behind me with brightass lights I just drive real slow till they pass. Even if they dont have bright ass lights, usually the dudes/women in trucks are the impatient ones with the "get the fuck outta my way" attitude, and insist on redlining from stop light to stop light anyway. Truck drivers are almost always douchebags from what I've seen..

Its even funnier when they tailgate you until they're really peeved and pass you, only to get stuck behind someone 5 ft in front of you.
Whenever that happens I always hope that they see me smiling

+1 :)

it's even better on the highways when some douchebag is tailgating you in the damn slow lane. That's where the fun begins :p

Someone tailgaiting in the slow lane: They get about a 30sec window of me being nice (i'll extend this window if the fast lane is clogged up, not allowing them to switch lanes and pass me). Once I deem they have tailgaited long enough I will simply touch the brake peddle so the light comes on; they get two servings of this. Once that has been completed they will get a very large brake test... If for some fucked up reason they're still tailgaiting me after that i'll prolly just lock up a wheel or something.
