Mustang Club of Maryland

Hi buddy. This is the guy in the 91 civic hatchback that you saw today. I was admiring your car at the redlight at Red Run and OM BLVD today. I was pretty impressed at how clean it looked. I also noticed the Mustang Club of Maryland tags you had on it. Then I realized the guy behind the wheel was a goof.

When the light turned green and I politely signalled I wanted to merge onto the onramp for 795 you decided it would be fun to try and block my path by speeding up and hanging your goofy head out the window and yelling God knows what about my little ricer car.

No biggie, I slid in behind you and went on my way. Hung with you pretty good when you got on it a little bit too didnt I.

I am going to assume you didnt like it very much when I passed you. I judge this by the way you kept trying to get back behind me and flashing your highbeams at anyone who got in your way. Not much traction when you have 500 HP and no throttle control huh?

You finally got back behind me at Frederick Road. I bet I surprised you a little huh. Why couldnt you keep up after that?? Some kind of traction control error or some other driving aid that failed to properly function I bet. Or maybe you just werent trying to? Well if you're gonna yell a bunch of BS at somebody you should at least give them a proper spanking. I'll be looking for you next time.

I'll wave goodbye again before I walk you too.


Nice car though!!! It's a shame you didnt want to learn how to drive it.

To the Mustang Club of Maryland:

I dont want this taken the wrong way. I actually LOVE mustangs, but you should be a little more selective of who you give the tags to, remember they are representing your club.

Please see the "MCOM public image" thread in the internal chatter section. This is exactly what the members have been talking about. Members with or without club tags driving aggressive and acting like idiots. I'm sorry you had to deal with someone like that. Some people turn into Dr. Jeckel when behind the wheel. I think this is what we've been waiting for to take some serious action about this problem. Just like driving a company work truck, you represent the whole company. Thanks for the info.

Some people are like Slinkys. They have no purpose, but they sure bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Well for starters, he didnt see me as a "threat" regardless of what I was driving because I was not acting in a manner that waould say I wanted to race. I did not want to "bypass everybody." The light in question is on a road that intersects the road with the onramp. I was 3rd in line in the left lane. Mr.GT500 was 2nd in line in the right lane. He started out driving very slowly around the turn, my guess is due to the wet roads. He left a 3 car gap between himself and the car in front of him. As soon as I signalled he closed that gap in about a second. I didnt get mad. I was actaully laughing because of the way he was hanging out the window making goofy faces and yelling like a fool. I simply slid in behind him instead. Since I wasnt trying to fly by everyone as you wrongly guessed there was still plenty of room for me to get over. He didnt start really driving like an ass until I merged one lane over and passed him with the flow of traffic. He was stuck behind a slower car at the time. Once he was able to get over to the left lane the highbeam flashing started. I was doing about 60 with everyone else on 795 as that is the posted speed limit. He kept drifting about a half car width over the yellow line marking the left shoulder presumably to see where I was. I'll be the first to admit both times he did catch up I took off a bit because there was less traffic (allowing him to catch up in the first place). But I wasnt doing more than 15 over at any time.

Also the username refers more to my state of mind than my driving habits. A double entendre if you will. I use it on about 6 forums. It started on my motorcycle forums about 4 years ago.

Again I find it amusing it always has to be the guy driving the import who is acting foolishly. I'm glad the majority of your club members are more open minded than that.

I would absolutely LOVE to see Mr. GT500's response but I doubt we will because he KNOWS who was really being the goof.

Also FTR I have NO DOUBT his car would dessimate me on dry roads with no traffic. I have a motor swap but it's still only a 1.6 liter 4 banger. My turbo kit and motor build is still a work in progress and sits in a box. It wouldnt even be interesting until I install the turbo which is almost a year from happening.

I wasnt knocking the car at all, just the driver.
