haha, I had a good one just about an hour ago.
There's a cut through road that people use all of the time, the speed limit is 35mph and it's a neighborhood with very very modest homes and it's close to a high school.
Anyway, I was just using that cut through and a dad in his late 40s and his high school daughter are walking in the street, he had a large shop broom in his hand. As I'm coming around a corner around 40mph, I down shift and slow down a touch since there's people in the road (about 200 ft ahead of me) and he makes an angry face and steps into the road and swings the broom like he's going to hit my car. I just kept driving at him at the speed limit and his daughter pulled him out of the way. He was yelling all kinds of nice things at me, I just smiled and actually laughed at him as I drove by. He was steaming pissed, I almost stopped to tell him I was going the speed limit, but the car is just really loud, but I knew better.
He probably lives a $h!t life and is broke and he figures other people are out to get him. If he was doing well, he'd get out of that crap neighborhood
For the record, I'm in my late 30s, married with kids and hardly some gang banger rippin down his street, hahaha.

Except this one is full of 200k houses, drug dealers, and 200k worth of Bimmers in front of EVERY driveway xD. I've learned not to drive through it when it's dark.

I won't be offended by anything people say about me, just because that's my nature, and his comment honestly made me laugh (btw I'm not muslim :P), but yeah I agree, if it wasn't me and it was someone else, it could have been bad.

He was jealous of your 6.2L beast, his car has to rev up to 10 million RPM's to make any power! muahahah
Seriously though, I feel your pain! Bought my Evo when I was 19 or 20 and had an S2000 before that. Always got crap for being so young with awesome cars. Especially from people that weren't very comfortable with themselves and hadn't accomplished much, AKA lazy people. haha
You got some instant gratification though, watching the genius get pulled over when you're probably half his age, that alone would make my day!

I wasn't being racist. OP said that he guy may have been racist. So I was just trying to help people envision what the guy may have been thinking. A lot of Indian folks get mistaken for Arabs (or get associated with them, although this is completely wrong). My Indian friends joke about how may times NYPD "randomly check" their bags in the subway.

But yeah that happens whenever we fly into LaGuardia when going to India.
