    . . . douche bags in souped up sports cars! If you want to show off your car do it at a car show! If cars are your thing I mean no offense, I have a passion for Pearl Jam, music, football, the Mets, gardening etc. I'm not into cars, but if that's your passion, more power to you, I get it. Here's what I don't get.

    I was stopped at a stop light in my hometown today when two punks in a silver sports car (not sure of the make or year, but looked very new) pull up beside me and start revving the engine. I look at them, turn away and continue to hum along to Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin (great band, check them out). They continue revving the engine more, as to challenge me to a road race. Let's see their car or my 8 1/2 year old 4-cylinder Mazda Protege (with a missing hubcap :) ) . . . hhmmmmmmm, I wonder who'll win? I didn't even entertain the thought, nor did I ever in my 32 years on this earth. If you want to race, do it on a race track!

    It was too easy to flip them the bird or curse at them, so I did the better thing, I looked at them the 2nd time they revved and started laughing my ass off! Obviously they have no dicks or sense of humor, because they got extremely pissed and followed me for about 5 miles, yelling and screaming obscenities. When they realized I wasn't going to esculate the situation further, they went their own way.

    I'll admit, my heart was in my throat for a few minutes, and I may think twice about egging someone on next time. But it FELT SO GOOD to put them in their place. Am I being too whiny? Perhaps it's the age diifference, they looked like they were in their 20's. Maybe when they get my age they'll realize you don't have to be an asshole to be cool. Then again with their driving habits, I'll be surprised if they're alive come this fall.

    I hear ya on the dicks with nice cars

    How about the a-hole I saw driving his Ford Fusion and thought he was driving a Corvette.....revving his engine next to me

    Nothing worse than clueless a dick

    i prefer brake checking. i was on my way home few weeks ago and in a 25 zone i was doing a nice 30 and some guy had to ride my bumper so i slowed down to 25, still didnt get the message so i went to 20.....this guy was dumb as a brick. so i sped back up to my 30 then started tapping my brakes..... finally i just hit the brakes. he locked his up and i kept on driving. he kept his distance after that.

    brake checking is fun when your car is junk. i really dont care if the back end gets dinged. but people in nice new cars sure do, hahaha.



    One of my favorites when someone is tailgating...

    At the same time press the brake pedal just so the brake lights come on and give a quick yank on the emergency brake (pull it only for a split second). Doing this will cause just the back two tires to lock up for a second. The tailgater will see/hear the brakes lock while seeing the brake lights on. He'll think you are slamming on your brakes when in fact you really haven't slowed down at all. Result = tailgater shitting his pants and slamming his brakes on. Hehehehehe!

    I used to work at a Chrysler plant (summer job while in college) where we drove cars around. I used to do that ^ to the new guys. Hahaha, they would always freak out and slam on their brakes...one dude drove down into the ditch! Hahaha! :D

    I've been there a few times and that place is really bad (and I live in Boston). It's like going into battle. I don't think it is the old people as much as it is aggressive Cubans.

    i'm pro tailgating if you are one of the douchebags that drive in the fast lane just slow enough to keep pace with the guy in the slow lane, thus making it impossible to pass.


    no torture is too severe for you people.

    I totally agree! I don't tailgate (they are bound to do a brake test to me) but I flash my high beams and flip them off.

    I'm not saying they all are like that but there is a fair amount of agression on the road.

    So was the sports car a "rice rocket".Those oh so wonderful high school kids who get a beat to shit Mitsubishi Lancer or some Asian car with mulit colored body panels and a homemade spoiler on the back,and then put the lovely sounding tin can muffler on it? Was the car one of those cars? I hate those pices of shit.There trying to be all "FAst and Furious" but the car realy looks like a high school automotive class project gone wrong.

    My mom has a beautiful silver sportscar with an enormous engine that comes out of the garage in the spring and summer.

    It can go quite fast but it's nearly next to wasted on a grandmother who drives it s l o w l y just about all the time. :D:D:D
