Also, cruised with a 04/05 STi with fogs last night when I was cruising home on Landess and splitted near Cataldi park. Filipino cat cruising behind me and we said "wsups" and exchanged deuces

There was a 2011 plasma blue Wrx, a wrb 05 Sti, and a silver bugeye at 7th street tonight. Also, on 880 right by Davis heading south, I raced a 05 Sti with gold wheels, exhaust, and wingless. I was in a dark grey srt8 jeep Cherokee
Dark grey (UGM?) 07 STi limited with an angled exhaust, Evo-esque roof vane, carbon trunk, low offset black wheels, and a VTA BOV just drove by me as I'm walking down 4th avenue in SF between Clement and Geary on my way to my garage space on 5th.
Your car sounds great!

Yup. Merge @ 25mph and then they get really pissed off if you distract them from whatever they are staring at in their lap by actually trying to use the roadway. Gridlock due to morons parked diagonally in the middle of intersections trying to squeeze through. Saw some lady try to do a 3 point turn on Hillsdale and sort of get stuck there looking helpless. No one and I mean no one stops at stops signs or knows what to do when there are 4 stops signs in one intersection. The same person that will roll through a stop will then putz along at 10mph where it seems like they are inspecting their floor mats. But yeah, watch out when someone does something rude or dangerous to you - it seems to really **** them off if you don't allow them to collide with you or something. Seems like a dangerous combination of boredom, pride, and a lack of basic driving abilities.
It's hard to blame them though. It's frustrating, but - our systems are teaching people that they do not need to know anything about driving in order to operate a vehicle, and that the only thing you will ever get in trouble for is speeding. It shows in the driving here over the last 15 years. It's so depressing.
I really don't understand the random/instant rage though. I mean how does some random lady know I am not going to follow her home and make a hat out of her face?

Now that I have a daily commute from PA to SJ, the one thing I've really noticed that pisses me off more than anything else is when people REFUSE to allow you to change lanes (mostly when I want to get around someone so I can drive faster). People are such dicks, I feel like I can't even put my signal on sometimes because people will speed up just so I can't change lanes. There are also instances when I will get stuck aside like 3 cars going the exact same speed and I literally can't get around them. I'll blow past you in like 2 seconds anyways, so what difference does it make if I get in front of you or not? so frustrating lol

Dude. Yes. I agree 100% with you here buddy. this one time I was hopping on 280 from page mill in Palo Alto (which is a terrible, terrible road during rush hour). It's only 2 lanes going each way and once you pass foothill expressway, it goes from 35 to 50 mph and I dont think a lot of people understand that. well this lady in a bimmer was going 45 the whole stretch in the left lane, as we were coming down the hill approaching 280 she slows down to try to change lanes to get onto 280N. so i downshift into 3rd gear and I have a pretty loud exhaust, I kind of get on her tail a little bit cuz I was trying to go thru to 280S. Well she apparently didn't understand the concept of downshifting and thought I was trying to be a dick or something cuz she proceeded to brake check me and then as i passed her she was obviously irate, as I could see her screaming at me lol.
