Default I think I had a moral right to run the guy over!

Yesterday, I was paying for my breakfast sandwich at a McDonald's drive thru window. My GS Vert top was down so this loser (likely unemployed) pedals his piece of crap bicycle past me and mutters "sounds like a 4 cylinder". Luckily, I don't suffer from road rage very often or I would have let him get a closer listen to my engine from underneath.

EDIT: Apparently a few people on here don't read the whole thread. This original post was meant to be a "Tongue In Cheek" observation of a "probable" hater. At NO time did I ever have any thoughts of actually running the guy over. I just thought it was a goofy thing for someone to say. I really don't need any more members with no sense of humor informing me that I'm overreacting, or that there are bigger problems in the world.

If you have a bone stock non NPP exhaust. I don't blame the guy because they are too quiet! !! If you had an NPP exhaust with the fuse pulled or any after market system I guarantee he wouldn't have said that. You own an American icon sports car, it should sound like one!

Stuff like this is best ignored..... There is no upside to reacting to this.

So if I was riding my bike to work in my work clothes ( they always look worn ) that means I am an unemployed loser?

I do have NPP with Mild2Wild switch, and it was in "loud" mode. Next month I'm having headers installed, but I don't think it would have made a difference with this moron.

I said "likely unemployed". This was in Niagara Falls, NY...so that's not much of a stretch to think that. And he was a loser because he was being an *** for no reason. I wasn't even looking in his direction when he made his smart *** comment.

I hope you all realize I was saying this "tongue and cheek". He could have thrown rocks at my car and I wouldn't have ACTUALLY run the loser down.

You eat in your car? Sacrilege!

Next time . . . Finish your meal, turn off TC/AH and tail whip him coming out of the fast food lane.
