A morning A-hole

This morning on the way to work I was doing my usual 60mph with the cruse set then along came an A-hole. He gets right up on my bumper with his lights blaring in my mirror but he does not pass. So I slow down to about 50 just to piss him off before a curve . In the next straight I see him start getting over to pass me so when he got up beside me I put the hammer down and pulled about 10 car lengths ahead then slowed back down to 60. At the next straight I let him go around and let him know he was #1 . He was driving a Nissan truck low-rider. Nothing like starting your day with some ROAD RAGE.

Not a good idea. No matter how big an A hole, no matter how p***** you get, just let the crazies go. You never know whose elevator doesn't go all the way to the top, or who is carrying a gun. It just ain't worth it.

This is the WAR/HHR VS ROOM isn't it? The part of the site that is for telling stories of STUPID stuff we do sometimes when we get pissed or just for the hell of it? How many guy/gals have not raced down the highway? I suppose you have never done anything STUPID!!

There is a huge difference between Stupid and Dangerous. Sure, we've all done stupid things...I know I have. I think the main concern here is your safety. Sure wouldn't want to read about anyone I was acquainted with being injured in such an incident. Be careful...there are alot of nuts out there. Check out the not even a PT cruiser deserves this thread...now that guy is just plain NUTSO.

Stay safe...and take that elevator all the way to the top.

Great advise from Deb, and I will second that motion...

We're all saying be careful. We all do stupid things but, stupid and dangerous "things" together, are usually unintentional !!!!!

The is some very famous books out in regard to Darwins Law..that provide very good examples and reasons not to combine the 2.

sorry, i'm not trying to piss you off but, if you do this type of thing on the road with a 3,000 lb veh it could wind up being vehicular homicide. yes i have done many stupid thinks in my life and i'm sure i'm not done yet. i lived in so. cal when they were shoting at cars and from cars. i.ve been run off the road for making a simple mistake before too. some people are crazy!!!!!
