Default I hate getting cut off in my 2.3L

I'm sure we all hate getting cut off.. especially in our slow acceleration 2.3s. I drive to college since its close by home so I encounter this every day. I don't like when a two lane combines in to one and people always thinks its a race as to who gets by first. It's not that fun when you can't go as fast. I still love the 2.3s though, which is why I upgraded and got myself a 5 speed 2.3T SVO for situations like this. Anyone else feel the same way?

My blood boils over when I get cut off on the road, especially if it's a rice rocket. If there's no traffic, I usually mash the gas pedal and perform evasive maneuvers to show the "cutter-off'ers" the error of their ways. By the way, the SVO's are awesome, good call on that purchase

Yeah I was looking for a 2.3T svo at first but there is almost none. Six months later I found one but the interior and exterior needs to be restored.

As for the civics that think their ride is faster just because of the sound of their muffler annoys me. It feels good putting them in their place though after you ZOOM by them.

To tell you the truth I had a young kid next to me at the red light in a Honda Prelude thinking he was sweet. I beat him off the line and I quickly let off the gas when I seen a cop sitting at a intersection... I'm glad cuz that kid got busted. HAHA It made my day.

Lol whenever I feel like just cruising is when it happens. Since I'm not trying to go fast, just the speed limit or even slower sometimes I just like to show off my stang to the people that are walking..

I get cut off no matter what I'm driving. Some people are just idiots and don't know what a stop sign is.
