Am I the one individual who really want others to engage in a competitive driving experience with me?

[migueldosantos77]

I often come across complaints on online forums from individuals who really dislike it when others attempt to engage in a competitive race with them when crossing paths on public roads. The self-righteous grandfathers on Rennlist are very vocal about this issue, but it is less prevalent on our site.

Now, to clarify, I have declined similar attempts from young individuals driving BRZ sports cars and extensively modified Honda Civics. However, the distinction, at least from my perspective, lies in the fact that such individuals do not bother or irritate me. I do not have a condescending attitude towards them. Last year, I saw a highly modified M3 that swiftly passed me on the highway, attempting to provoke me into a race. However, I chose not to engage in such activity, finding it amusing instead.

I really appreciate that kind of care. I like encountering other aficionados who possess a genuine want to vigorously operate their automobiles. While I often refrain from engaging in street racing, with a few rare instances as exceptions, I may sometimes increase my vehicle's throttle and produce audible crackling sounds to indicate my willingness to participate and demonstrate my shared passion for racing.

I find individuals who drive supercars and without any discernible personality to be rather bothersome. They operate the vehicle at a reduced speed, similar to how one would drive a Toyota Corolla. It is analogous to engaging in sexual intercourse with a supermodel who remains still and unresponsive, like a doll.

Does anybody else have the same sentiment?

I concur, I too like being presented with challenges, but I am not inclined to participate in a whole marathon till its conclusion.
In my opinion, it seems that you have not yet encountered the appropriate supermodel.

[WanderlustGuru]

I often react to similar cars, but just for brief, rapid bursts. I often engage in track activities, which satisfy my strong need to race in a secure and regulated setting.

I am always willing to participate in a race, as long as there is little traffic, no need for frequent lane changes, and the race consists of short bursts of speed followed by immediate cessation. Nevertheless, I am willing to provide the random ricer with a good experience, since it is not for my own benefit, but rather for their excitement to share anecdotes about the kind individual in the R8 who briefly delighted them and offered a gesture of approval. During the period when I had a modified imported vehicle, the particular anecdote and recollection would last for a significant duration!

I believe that I belong to a position that is between two extremes. Although I don't consider myself a conservative driver, I also have little interest in participating in intense street races, particularly in the busy streets of London where I often see such invitations. Nevertheless, I can empathise with their perspective.

I like driving with enthusiasm, particularly on rural roads, where I have the freedom to accelerate more aggressively and choose how close I want to push myself to my maximum capabilities. Although I appreciate the enthusiasm of vehicle fans at car shows and like engaging in spirited acceleration contests on the highway, I also find it entertaining to provide them with a little of amusement, as suggested by madflava. However, when it comes to street racing, my inherent drive for competition would certainly compel me to exceed my capabilities, resulting in either a collision or the revocation of my driver's licence. For those whose occupation requires driving, this is not at all appealing.

Using your example, I am expressing that I like engaging in intense intimacy with the supermodel, but I am not inclined to remove the protective barrier and jeopardise everything.

Although I am not an elderly person who drives a Corolla, I would rather be undisturbed while driving. Over time, the focus on myself becomes tiresome, and I no longer feel the need to demonstrate anything. I like driving on secluded rural roads and accelerating the automobile in the absence of any or little human presence.

Frankly speaking, I have a strong aversion to driving the R8 on the highway and make every effort to avoid it whenever possible. The experience just lacks excitement for me, since it consists of monotonous stretches of road. However, this is also the location where the young and reckless drivers often appear, so it is a doubly advantageous situation to avoid it!

Although I have engaged in such behaviour before, I must clarify that it has become tiresome and uninteresting to me. In addition, I am astonished by the lack of intelligence shown by individuals, as well as the many instances when I have seen reckless behaviour that might potentially result in fatal consequences, such as weaving in and out of traffic. I want to abstain from participating in it. However, even if no one sustains injuries, receiving a street racing citation is very undesirable. It is not comparable to a mere speeding ticket in the majority of jurisdictions.

Currently, I like secluded rural routes with several winding turns, picturesque landscapes, and abundant sunlight. I am quite delighted.

I am indifferent to igniting it, but I am always plagued by thoughts of potential consequences. Speeding on the road without knowledge of the individuals next to me is a recipe for tragedy.
Engaging in a lively drive with acquaintances yields a distinct experience.
I have a strong affinity for driving at high speeds, yet ensuring safety is of paramount importance to me.
Each individual must confront their own risk tolerances, and the majority of those who want to participate in racing lack intelligence or expertise.

[KWILB]

Comparative motivations have no effect on me. Street racing fails to excite me. I am aware of the possessions I have and express gratitude to God every day for the good health and privilege that allow me to possess them. I am aware that there is consistently something that is quicker and better.

I have a strong affection for my R8 and I would not consider exchanging it for any other vehicle save for a Jesko Absolut.

[DreamCatcher88]

I have never participated in a race, and I have no intention of doing so on public roads. The level of risk is very high. Regardless of whether it is you or the person you are competing against, there is always a grandparent who will choose to switch lanes without checking.

In addition, if you engage in a competition with a highly modified Honda and emerge victorious, you will be seen as a "show off" (i.e., the actual loser, attempting to demonstrate superiority over an inferior vehicle). If you fail, you will be seen as an incompetent individual who lacks the skill to operate a R8 vehicle. This is a scenario where there are no winners and everyone involved will experience negative consequences.

[Rudy7831]

I believe engaging in racing or any other activities on public roadways is ill-advised. A potential issue on the verge of occurrence. Nevertheless, exquisite automobiles are meant to be admired by everyone. Not only do we serve as the owner, but there are others involved as well. It is advisable to have someone else listen to and observe the automobile. I am willing to make extra effort to ensure that everyone who recognises my vehicles knows that I also value their passion for automobiles. Exhibiting arrogance and deliberately disregarding someone's presence is just impolite. Automobile lovers are among the most amiable individuals you will ever encounter. I provide access to almost everyone who want to occupy a seat within my vicinity during a cars and coffee event.

[SD1too]

I am enamoured with the aesthetic appeal, auditory experience, and personal satisfaction I get from operating my vehicle. I am indifferent to who is quicker than me. I purchased it for my own satisfaction, and that is the only confirmation I want. I do not engage in the activity of playing Top Trumps.
