Being a large college town the same crap happens here all the time. They love to do what you mentioned and love the "drive bys"...
You handled it well... and a thumbs up to you...

That said.....

Im sitting at a light while on the way home today. Some kid in a Civic with a big wing and a can larger than my steering wheel pulls up next to me. He starts revving the crap out of his car and letting out so his BOV would sound off. Im just sitting there laughing. He start hollering out his window about scarred and **** Chevy **** and hes got money and alot of other ****. I sit for a minute and oblige, somewhat. I set the line lock and let out slowly just so it would build boost. As soon as they started to wail, about 3#, I put the clutch back in and the BOV sounded off like a small grenade going off. His eyes got wide and he almost went white. Rolled up his window and immediately turned right to run away.

Now for the funny part. The cop that was behind me pulled up next to me and gave me the thumbs up. Said he heard all of it and that was the most funny **** he'd ever seen.

I wanted to stay n/a but if turbos shut the imports up, I might have to go that route

Was the big wing on the Civic over the back wheels or the front?

Lol, great story!

I pulled into the local mall a few months ago and there was a gathering of the same type of vehicle you describe. I pulled into my parking spot and the next thing I knew I heard a loud rev. One of the ricers had followed me to my spot simply to rev his engine at me and continued on his way. I just laughed
