It's okay Ferrarimanic360. I am also 17 and yes I do understand other people's reasoning as to kids nowadays with overpriced cars driving recklessly. I've had another reckless teenager run into my car and I have also another reckless teenager friend who took out my car and crashed it (check out my other threads and you'll see what I mean) Just understand that slamming the gas in that situation wasn't exactly the best thing you should've done especially with a white Jetta next to you filled with older men. My prediction is that the driver was probably the only sober one taking the other four guys back home (or worse, he could've been on a little bit of alcohol too) and when your intoxicated, you tend to do things you might regret the next morning. So next time if you do get followed, just slow down, let them pass you, or just ignore them all together and head to wherever you were headed. Might've just been a coincidence (or maybe they just like G35s, who the hell knows )

Bro, you should have kept driving. There were five 25-year old guys in a jetta, and you are driving a G35...KEEP DRIVING...LOSE THEM...KEEP DRIVING...OUT RUN THEM...KEEP DRIVING...DON"T GET OUT OF YOUR CAR...did I mention that you should have KEPT DRIVING?!?!?!!? And everyone who gave the guy negative comments, leave dude alone...he wanted to know what to do...but really man, you shoulda had fun with them and just out ran them...unless the had a gun and were trying to shoot you, then your sh*t outa luck...

I really don't think you should get out of the car in those situations. It's kinda weird that you did and went into a store. Besides, what time was it? If it was morning, i really don't think they would hijack ur car. And i don't think it needs 5 people to take a 17yrs old (unless u have a AK-47 or MP-5). I guess they just want to see your brand new car. I mean, not every family can afford a $40k car. Like...if I see a Enzo on street, i may follow it for awhile too.

Don't bring attention to yourself, but just be aware of your surrondings. If you think you're being followed, don't just drive around, make 4 consecutive right hand turns. You'll know for sure if they're following you. Definitely don't pull over and get out. Then you're car could get stolen right in front of you or you're a sitting duck. If they follow you through all 4 turns, call the cops on your cell.

Reflect back on the way you drove. Did you at any point **** them off by tailgating them? Regardless, if you are in fear of your safety, drive to the police station. By parking and getting out of your car, you have exposed yourself to a variety of possibilities. Those guys could merely have been admiring your ride until you starred them down at a light and blew them out once it turned green. Don't instigate anything unless you are ready to back it up. Be safe out there!
