Someone in a Stanced 240SX Just Tried to Race Me... In the Slowrunner

I was headed home, when a shitty 240SX pulled out in front of me. It proceeded to do 45 in a 55 where most people do 65. I started to go around it, but when I got to his side, he dropped a gear and was revving it forward. He did this for a few seconds, matching my speed, until I got caught beside a left laner, when he decided to slow down and box me in. I hate people. Also, fuck Google Maps. It didn’t alert me of construction in a busy area, until I hit the standstill, when it could have diverted me off of I26 to take the back highways home.

Hey I forgot - is that beast you own an auto?

Yes, it has the haunted A340h. I say haunted because horsepower goes in, but is never heard from again.

I find that Waze does a much better job of alerting me to stuff like construction delays than Google Maps. Of course, it all depends if there are enough users in your area to make Waze worthwhile. It’s also saved me from a couple of speeding tickets.

Does yours have the 3.slow?

So, so true.

Yep, backed by an A340. Not as slow as the 22RE one, but still incredibly slow.

I use Waze on a day to day basis, but for traveling their maps don’t really work for me.

I had a 92 and a 94, and I currently have an 85. The 3vze's were frustrating to drive. The 22re is almost dangerous to drive in modern traffic.

Yeah, it can get frustrating, but I’ve gotten used to it. I think it’s made a better driver because of it.

I’ve used Waze on many “cross-country” driving adventures, as well as on some Pacific islands. Only place I really had issues was Saipan. Worked well in Guam though.

A lot of roads don’t show up on mine here in SC, for whatever reason.
