Default Does this happen to anyone else?

It seems like truck are constantly wanting to race me. I'll get behind a damn F-150, Ram, or any other truck and the SOB will go 20 under the limit, and when I try to pass him he'll speed up, I'll get in front of him and switch back into the lane and the bastard will put the brights on if it's at night or tailgate me. Maybe it's just all the rednecks in my area but this seems to constantly happen to me.

Once and a while I'll run into a truck that is dead set on racing, even if I don't acknowledge them. Usually Dodges in my experiences

I have never had much of a problem with trucks wanting to race me.

I've gotten whooped by a Cummins Turbo-Diesel before

But nah, I usually dont have a problem with trucks trying to race me. Its usually the ricer boys that dont even know what a camshaft is. But im sure they know what nawwzzzzz is haha. They turn green when I purge

I know what you mean with the ricers Phate, most of the ricers around here are $1k cars with $5k invested into the exterior of the car and a muffler the size of a coffee can.

Every time I'm out looking for a stang to race I get revved at by them. Little fuckers with there neon's, civics, and cavaliers. As far as trucks go, they usually kick my ass.
