Scott I think we should all just be glad we don't have to drive in florida where the average driver can't remember why they got into the car in the first place

Reminds me of an old joke...

An old guy is sitting before his doctor and the doctor says "I have some bad news and some even worse news". "What's the bad news" asks the guy. "You have alzheimers". "Oh my gosh, what is the even worse news then?" "You also have cancer", the doctor replies. "Ah", says the old man. "Well, at least I don't have alzheimers".

A minute or two later, the tool that was going 50 in the left lane was now right on my bumper (I was going around 70) and flipping me off. Too bad for him my brakes are much better than his and so is my acceleration. Nailed the brakes, then as he tried to change lanes and go around me, I punched it and kept him behind. I guess at that point he realized there were two of us in the car and he took the next exit. Still can't figure out what that a$$hole's problem was. If you don't want people to pass you, don't go 50 in the left lane of a 3 lane freeway. :rolleyes.

Now I see why you need a sedan with the most HP you can get Scott

brilliant.!

yea i love this, I work for UNION pacific rr. i always get crap for driving my nissan. i wonder what tv the others are watching? i wonder if they always eat american food when they go out to eat? i wonder if all of their clothes are american made (now thats hard to do)? i wonder if they have a cell phone? i wonder where the radio (in ones american made) car is made? so, buy american? first we have to make american. thats my two cents on that. and as far as giving the dude the finger, that is also punishable under the (road rage) laws. due to its aggrevated content/intent.

I used to have fun teasing a guy I worked with about this. Questions like, "Which is an American car, the Camaro built in Canada or the Honda built in the U.S.?"

Yeah, even though my car weighs only around 2950 pounds, it only has a small 2.5 V6 with 170 hp. However, the acceleration in it is absolutely brutal compared to a late 80s Cavalier station wagon!

Definitely looking into an '02-'03 Maxima for my next car. 255 hp should make me happier.

...and don't get me started on all the illegals on the road. Y'all up north have no idea what we put up with out here. Nothing like getting stuck behind some illegal afraid to go faster than 20 under the limit because they don't have current (or have forged) registration and no insurance. Plus a lot of them have their beer in a paper bag and are drinking them on the way to the job site. Not to mention their 6 kids, half of them in diapers standing up in the rear seat.

Au contraire, Scott.. we have the same problem, the only difference is yours are Mexican, ours are Brazilian...

Probably not the sheer volume we have here though.

There's a lot of bad people out there.

Look into getting a concealed weapons permit. It may save your life one day.

Regardless I'm glad you're ok man.

Generally when someone does something stupid I just smile at them and wave, **** happens and generally they know they stuffed up so why ruin your day and theirs.

One day I was merging into another lane on the freeway in light trafic, it was clear with plenty of room for me to get in, I indicated for a good 3 seconds which was just enough time for the person behind me in the other lane to close the gap and get in my blind spot.

So I'm half way through merging when I see him and jump back into my lane. He turns out to be a middle aged man who proceeds to beeps his horn and make lots of rude jestures for the next mile, obviously extreemly pissed off. In response I smile and wave like big bird then proceed to merge behind him without any nutters cutting me off.

Two miles up the freeway he is just ahead of me and takes the same turnoff I do, we stop at the lights with me behind him when I notice him looking in his rear vision mirror so once again I smile and wave. He then proceeds ahead of me to take the exact same route I am taking, right turn, turn right, left turn, his driving is becomming more erratic and paniced as he thinks I'm stalking him. In the end he takes a corner at an intersection at the last second in order to 'shake me' screeching tires all the way.

I laughed the rest of the way to work . Instant Karma is a *****.

You never know what kind of nut is behind the wheel. That's why I only flip off women. J/K J/K
