Anyway, i find that sort of behaviour by 4wd owners just disgusting. They weigh tonnes more than regular cars, and between her and the truck i would have ended up minced. And they drive like they own the road. I almost never encounter 'road rage' except from 4wd owners.
Rape her.

Friggin' roadhoggers....

Haha, I used to do this all the time in Mandurah. Heading North on the Bypass road, you always find some bogan wanting to race you off the lights at gordon road (under the blue footbridge). 800M down the road is a bustop that nearly always has a Speed Camera hidden in front of it.

I would gun it off the lights, get a few lengths ahead then slow down to 80 before getting in range of the camera - there is nothing funnier than seeing some Bommodore Driver get flashed when doing the wanker fly by!

Don't CAMS base a turbo handicap on 1.6x capacity?
so really its 5.7 - (2 *1.6) = 2500cc
Even so, they quite clearly have the superior car.

Every man and his dog wants to race a stickered up 80's hatchback.

Mate, I get this all the bloody time! It's totally nuts. I agree, I usually take the piss from other drivers in my head (or out loud) but it's only these 4WD drivers that get my blood rushing.

Had one last year with my 1.5lt GLi. Was at lights on Harborne where it goes from 2 to 1 lane. I went at dodgy lancer pace (slow as). This Kluger decided very late they wanted to get infront and swiped on my outside so close to the car I had to swearve and threshold brake just to miss him. I ended up on the curb and totally f^%$ed one of my Avanti rims. He just kept on driving while I held up traffic behind trying to get my car off the curb.

Generally generalisations are generally true

It's always nice to take a Holden on, the problem is, after you've beaten them to 110ish, 20 seconds later they come flying past at 260 thinking they've now won.

Im surprised with all the run-ins ive had with 4x4 that i havent been put into the bush yet, been close on so many occasions. Other pet hate besides 4x4, are both cars in either lane doing 50 in a 60 zone or something like that.. pffft , one day i will flash and horn away with no mercy.
