Heya,
I only read the first page of this topic, but i got the general jist of it all. It does not matter which car you drive there will be tools amongst the group. In times past I drove the generic commodore, I had the 19" bling and the stereo to boot. Whilst in this car, I would be in the bling bregade, the bogan group and the doof doof bregade and yes I would attempt to race any fool who wanted a go. What is amusing I had this frame of mind when I had my first car, a canary yellow 1980 244DL Volvo. Soon I will be driving an R32 (1 month at most goddammit) being a little older and because of a serious car accident I wont be following the same path as previous cars although Im sure I will be egged on by others.
In my own personal opinion, most people are like this not because of the car they drive, but because of the way they are. Be it because of watching fast and the furious to many times or their mothers and boyfriends say they are cool.
On the other hand, driving my mates GTR two nights ago I blew out the rear tyre. Now in my mates infinant amount of wisdom decided to leave the jack at home. I had to call him at 4am to get him to bring it to me. Whilst waiting 2 hours 4 cars stopped and all were your typical bogan asking if there is anything they can do to help. Mind you they were drunk but you get the jist. During this time numerous silvias, 180s, 200s and the occasional 33 drove pass me and not a single one stopped instead they continued on their way.
We cant blame them for driving lancers and commodores, but we can blame them for being narcisistic wankers.
In terms of tailgating, just ignore them and let them pass you, soon enough karma will come back around.
