Key phrase: "I think"

So i was leaving a buddy's house after a house party around 2:30am sunday morning. I was on the road that led me out of his neighborhood. The road is completely straight (neighborhood is grid set up). I notice a car heading into my direction about 1/3rd of a mile down as i come up to the 2nd to last stop sign before the road ends onto the main road. As i leave the stop sign, i notice the car slowly turning around (k-turn). By the time the car is facing the same direction as me, I was still at least 100yds away. Instead of just going, the car just kind of sits there toward the right side of the street as im slowly approaching. As i pass the car, i notice its got either small 16" chrome wheels or those chrome hubcaps and the windows are tinted. As soon as i fully pass the car, it's immediately on my ass. Im thinking the car screams bad guy and his behaivor was very suspicious. Now we're only about 50-75 yds from the main road (also signifying that he decided to turn around when hes already 50-75yd into the neighborhood), so as i was slowing down to the last stop sign, i decided im not going to take any chances. As soon as i could see both ways on the main road, i floored it, blowing thru the last stop sign and onto the highway exit. As im on the on-ramp, i look at the rearview and notice that the car is still at last stop sign and didnt follow me onto the highway. I didnt call the cops bc i had no idea what kind of car it was. I just focused on the red flags (tinted windows and chrome wheels) and we all know the road is plentiful with those kinds of cars.

So do ya'll think i made the right choice in overtly displaying that im suspicious of that car and that they're going to have to earn it, by flooring it like that in front of them?

Please share your opinions and please share any experiences you guys have had!

This seems like profiling.

My mother's last car had chrome wheels and tinted windows.

You are a very paranoid person.

It's hard to say. Maybe it was a girl checking you out, maybe it was a guy who was trying to check out your mods up close. Maybe it was kids just playing around. But always trust your gut and leave the scene quickly when you don't feel safe.

He didn't try to race you or made any indication? sometimes people complement me or try and race me. there have been times in bad neighbor hoods where people give you a gut feeling and follow you. I would have done the same thing. better safe then sorry.

I was SOOOO with you till you called tinted windows and chrome wheels "red flags". You were probably 28 seconds from being anally raped, but I did chortle when I read that. Plus, it is South Jersey, so there is almost certainly illegal shit going down on the regular. (Is that how you say that, Verbiage (since we are profiling anyway)).

I would have done the same.....after I pulled my Desert Eagle out of the glove box.....just kidding about the Desert Eagle.

Many eagles live in/near arid regions. I see no problem here.

Profiling? Hell yes....im not gonna roll down the window and say..."excuse me sir...i noticed you have chrome wheels and tinted windows, but that doesnt make you a bad guy, does it?" Plus it was the car doing what it did that was the biggest red flag for me. Btw...town is 5 min down the street from camden. Dudes wanting to start trouble regularly patrol the "white" neighborhood for easy targets. Part of life around the burbs of south jersey that border philly.

I think that not only do you not know what a K-turn is, you're not very good at finding out if you're actually being followed.

[Lups]

Didn't bother to read. Did the op lose his virginity?

The whole point was to not find out. And dude did a k-turn...reverse lights and everything.

[MightyMouseTech]

I think OP needs to adjust his tin foil hat.
