Ricer Flyby - All the cool kids are doing it.

I stopped for gas tonight, and a couple pumps away was a black Civic Si. I see the dude looking at my car and smirking (jealousy is a bitch). I finish pumping gas, and I leave. I'm on the highway, in the slow lane, with my cruise control set for 75. I look in my rear view and I see this Civic way back and in the fast lane which is 2 lanes over. All of a sudden, this guy flies past me, jumps all the way across all 3 lanes into mine, even though the other lanes were still empty, and drives off.

I am super jealous of his awesome flyby skills, guys. Please teach me to be that cool.

Who else has been a victim of Fiesta ST envy?

Had a kid in a Scion TC with a fart can egg me to race on the highway. He was speeding up and slowing down waiting for me to race him. I was approaching my exit so I downshifted and took it up to 80, looked in my rear view mirror and he was at least 5 cars behind. As I slowed down to exit he did a flyby and didn't bother to look at me lol. I still think there are a lot of people out there that don't know about the FiST and thinking its just a regular Fiesta.

Pretty sure this guy just thought he was a total bad ass because he owned a Civic Si. The best part was there was a bunch of traffic. Right after he dove across 3 lanes of traffic to make sure I see him, he took off and immediately had to slam on his brakes.

He may not have even known what your car was man. I get that a ton, people think I pimped out a Fiesta, not knowing its from the factory as i drive it basically. If they are next to me at a stop light they get a real shock when they hear the BOV lol

I love when people do that. I am stage 3 bolt on's minus the intercooler, I go to a place called Woodward (MI people know what it is) usually every Friday night, and there is a TON of nice cars out there always. I always get the people in the v6 mustangs, or the Honda people trying to rev at me or try and race with me. I think its hilarious when I get on it in 2nd and they just hear wheel spin and see me take off then they back off real quick. I had a mustang try and race me last Friday with a HHR (HHR has all bolt on's and external wastegate and tune pretty quick,) they thought they would just walk away from me, but when I walked away from them they turned around at the next turn around before we could stop at the light, I seen them later and everytime they turned off when they seen me coming.

Fiesta ST envy, lol.
It's a rare condition that occurs when someone buys something as menial as a Civic Si or a V6 Mustang, and think that they are some special snowflake with a fast car.
