So I'm driving into work this morning and some pig-fucker almost rear ends me. Then he tailgates me. I tap my brakes lightly to let him know he's too close. He then swings out around and in front of me and SLAMS his brakes repeatedly. Then he speeds ahead. I'm trying to catch up with him, but a couple of slow moving cars and a truck merge in between us. When we get to a red light I do the only reasonable thing I can think of. I get out of the car and start running toward his vehicle hoping I'll have enough time to drag him out and beat him until he can no longer walk. The light changed to green and I had to run back to my car before I could get to him. Fuck, I need a faster car.

Nah, you just need to mount a 50 cal on top.

No, you need to learn when it ain't worth it. Just stop and let the idiot go kill himself somewhere far away from you.

Dude, there are loads of fuckwits who can't drive on the road. If you can't deal with the fact that everybody else sucks, you're gonna have issues. You can't kick the crap out of every bad driver, although I get the suspicion that you would try if you could..

Social darwinism. Eventually these dumbasses wrap themselves around a tree.

The fuckhead tried to harm me by slamming his brakes on in front of me repeatedly. I kind of take that crap personally.

you and me both... i'm sick of being beaten off the lights or off roundabouts by some twat in a beat up old shitbox. i mean, its not like i race anybody, but it just gets annoying when every single other car goes faster than you :( (most annoying part is i'm happy to go up to 90, so these wankers piss past me and then i overtake them a minute later... and then we swap round come the next roundabout cos i can't keep up... it gets annoying... grrr.)

saving up to get a nice 2.2 turbo diesel honda civic (http://cache.jalopnik.com/cars/images/honda_civic_2006_5.jpg)next year. that should go like shit off a shovel enough

Get a fake police badge and next time someone gets up behind you, hold it out the window and wave it at them.

alternatively, just start carrying a fucking weapon. Preferably a projectile weapon of some description. Maybe a crossbow..

You shouldn't. He is a fuckwit, and will do it to anyone. It is nothing personal.

Look where I live we get stupid teenagers doing this kind of stuff all the time, all that happens if the decent intelligent guy reacts is that both cars get trashed and the teenager's dad buys him a new one.

What the hell do you have to gain by going for the confrontation? Machismo and a hospital and shop bill. Be a bit wiser huh.

Replica guns...

Thats a felony.

Thats a felony.

So is pulling someone out of a car and beating the shit out of them. That was his other plan.

Thats a felony.

Only if you actually pretend to be a police officer.

For simply holding up a fancy star like device in a wallet whilst driving it is going to be very hard to prove that you were imitating an officer.

Actually I sometimes do carry my .38 special. Usually it keeps me calmer. I don't really mind doing a few months in county jail for beating the crap out of someone, but I'm not willing to do a few years in state prison for shooting someone. When I carry I make a better effort to keep my cool.

HA! You should see the behavior I have to endure because I drive a VW Bus (0-60 eventually). My turn signal means "Hurry up! He's trying to get in front of us!"

I don't really mind doing a few months in county jail for beating the crap out of someone,

Sweet, remind me not to fuck with you if we ever meet..

Golf balls and ball bearings are sometimes effective for tailgaters-If they are really,really bad.
If you're on the parkway and someone's riding your ass, you can put two wheels in that wake-up rumble strip-that will usually kick up gravel stomes and debris that collect there.

The best thing to do is to avoid having your vehicles meet. I always let them by-I would rather have them ahead of me than behind me. Aside from that-get their plate #. If you have a friend thats a cop-he can get you the info you need to return the guy's favor.

My car is faster than most cars on the road, but I often have the kids with me so I dont drive as fast as I used to and I dont get into pissing matches with punk bitches on the road. I dont want to put a two pound hammer through a guy's head over a traffic dispute in fornt of his kids or wife and I certainly dont want my kids or wife to see me shot or stabbed over some road rage stupidity.

Ignore them. I personally see no need to race to get anywhere. It'll still be there when you get there, and if you're in that big a hurry to do something stupid, you may not get there.

Meh, I'm over it now. Thanks for helping me get it out of my system folks.

Lol.. that's a New Jersey driver for ya.

Dude, you got RAGE issues!!

Get the fastercar, but not to catch them and beat them..... just leave them for dust it ways more satisfying!!

btw what you driving? for quick and easy speed ad nitro!

I have too much to lose these days to go back to that,myself. I already got away teaching a bus driver that tailgated my wife a lesson he'll never forget. Thats far behind me, but karma isnt.
Doing time these days would put more hardship on my family and job, so I avoid that type of behavior.

Take a deep breath, keep your cool and follow the guy. He's probably late for work. He'll park and go in and you'll have all the time in teh world to decide how to return the favor.

An open can of sardines in oil, spread liberally about the interior of the car should even the score.
You could even come back around lunchtime to observe the results.

Meh, I'm over it now. Thanks for helping me get it out of my system folks.


sometimes-thats all you need. And you can carry on with your day.

If you did manage to pry the weasel out of his car to dea lwith him, I'm pretty sure your day would be going differently.
And not as you would plan it.

The guy fucking with me had PA plates.

PA drivers are fucking horrible up in the Cleveland area...it's a death match to get from here to Erie if the highways are crowded. Personally, I think it's the shitty roads they learn to drive on that do it to them; the second you cross the Ohio border you're hitting potholes...

I just laughed so hard I am now sicker than I was 2 minutes ago.

He must be from Philly, or East Stroud then.. those East Stroud people are pure assholes.

What you need is a tank. Let him tailgate you and run into you if he wants. Let him slam his breaks, you just go on your merry way on top of him. That'll learn them.

We were on I 95 south of the Philly airport near the exit for 322 (I'm working in Kennett Square today), so I'd bet he was from Philadelphia.

They are crack head drivers. They gotta be.

In Philly you'll be going 80mph and then 2 seconds later you'll be at a traffic jam. Philly driving areas are the only places in the world I ever feel like being a back seat driver.

Some reason I never pictured Ruffy as old enough to drive.

make your car faster!

its too hard. Buy a 40 shot NO2 kit off eBay for like 100 bucks. If its turbo get a boost controller and turn it up, get a ECU if its a modern car, and you'll have a good gain in performance for under 500 bucks and not too much work.

If you wanna get serious about it, then it gets difficult and expensive, but the basics are not hard.

I'd reccomend a BMW.

If you are a millionaire and have cajones the size of watermelons, i'd reccomend a Ferrari.

no you need a beater of an old ranch truck that has 5inch solid steel pipes welded to the frame for bummpers. for example i drive (sometimes) a 1989 ford f150, the thing has so many dents its not even funny and lots of scratches so if someone hits me its not like iam out $1000 dollers trying to fix it.;) works great you can even do that and then put in a good engine.

A guy I knew, Joe Luther, had a Ford Bronco set up with the steel pipes like that.

http://www.ibistek.com/images/viper.jpg

you don't even have to use it, people will give you the respect you deserve just for displaying this piece of heavy duty ordnance.
And it's street legal in the U.S. if you have a Federal Firearms Permit.

Here's a step-by-step solution:


Get a big pickup.
Mount a chaingun on the back. (This is why you need a big pickup.)
Get a friend to drive you, or you drive and your friend mans the guns.
If you are driving, tell your friend to shoot the car that harasses you on the road.
If you are shooting, then YOU shoot the car that is harassing you on the road.
Finish your business.


Oh yeah, I forgot, when you get home, PARTY!!!!!!!!

Is this thread serious? Are we seriously condoning carrying weapons while driving to threaten people who are being assholes? Have you thought that going over the speed limit makes YOU an asshole too? Just follow the damn speed limit, and you don't need to worry about how fast your car is. Cause at least where I live, the highest the speed limit goes is 65, and it'd be pretty hard to legaly drive a car that can't go 65. Stop thinking it matters that someone went faster than you. As was said in the first post, the person who was speeding got stuck at the SAME RED LIGHT as the poster.

Also, if you go any faster than about 55 mph, you are wasting gas. 55 is the optimum speed for your car, because any faster and the amount of wind resistance picks up at some crazy exponential amount for every mph you go.

So when you get on the highway, get up to the speed limit, set your cruise control, and drive.

yeah, but with mine, you don't need to have a firend. The turret can be controlled by either driver or passenger from a console attached to the dash-board. (Console has a screen for viewing from either the turrets digital cam, or IR nightvision cam, and a joystick with trigger that is easily accessed by either driver or passenger)

It's not that he was speeding, it's that he almost hit me from behind, then got in front of me and repeatedly slammed on his brakes trying to make me hit him. He attacked me with his vehicle.

Yeah, he got stopped at the same red light, we took the same exit off the highway, but he was several car and one truck length in front of me and I couldn't run up to his vehicle before the light changed.

Actually, many cars (sports cars, newer regular ones) are optimized for fuel efficiency at 65-70 miles per hour, there's no 'magicaly exponential wind resistance factor' that starts applying at speeds faster than 55 anyway, older engines are just optimized for that speed (becasue it used to be the legal speed limit).

and tailgating is dangerous at any speed.

Funniest thing just happened...

I was driving a while ago, and this guy was going real slow, so I tailgated him for a while, then just blew by him, and then, to give him a taste fo his own medicine, hit the brakes a few times to make him think about going so slow again. Funny thing was, this crazy guy got out of his car and came after me after we stopped - luckily he was driving a piece of shit and...

Hey wait a second....

Pfft, just pick up an Elise and you'll be faster than most other cars out there. Or you could just buy A Super Seven Kit car. Then you'd be the fastest thing on the road to about 120.

Great, now I know there are armed cranky drivers here. I gotta get the hell outta here.

If you want irritating, take the damn expressway every damn day. A 20 minute ride takes like an hour and a half at times.

Fuck, I need a faster car.

I recommend a nice punching bag instead of a faster car. :)

What you need to do is drive a cheap $600 car (or a rental with insurance), and then next time someone annoys you, just t-bone him at top speed.

Aim to kill.

And then say it was an accident.

Muwahahahahahaha....

Two choices:

Buy a 70's muscle car, you earn crazy respect from other drivers. People are more likely to let you merge, give you the right of way, etc because they want to stare at your car. It is quite likely that the tit would respect yourcar enough to not tail gate you again.

If that is not your cup of tea, buy a truck. Put a Cummings Turbo Deisel in it, and upgrade the exaust, turbo, and intake systems. That should be able to get you past 600 ft/lb of torque. Bulk the truck up a bit too. If the guy slams his breaks like that again, hit the gas. The truck will make a deep menasing noise as it launches forward. Besides making him shit himself, he should speed up and giveyou space. If not, you'll win, a Cumming Turbo probably weighs as much as what he is driving.:p

Doing crap like that is what gives the rest of us gun owners a bad reputation. Thanks. :headbang:

You'll note that I also posted that I keep my cool and don't act a fool when I'm carrying my gun. Of course you chose to leave that part out. It's much more important to be able to put someone down than to be accurate and honest, right?

A lot of people think that just because someone is carrying a gun, they're up to no good.

I carry mine ALL the time. And most of the time, no one even knows I have it. In fact, there are some people I've worked with for years who have NO idea I've been armed all this time. Who would freak out if they knew.

Simple, drive a big ugly Volvo and no one will want to touch you :p

If I'm carrying a gun I'm on my best behavior. I really don't want to spend several years in state prison for shooting someone over an argument.

I dont know about "big" but doesnt "ugly" describe them all ?

If I'm carrying a gun I'm on my best behavior. I really don't want to spend several years in state prison for shooting someone over an argument.

From "A Nation Of Cowards"Gun owners are routinely portrayed as uneducated, paranoid rednecks fascinated by and prone to violence, i.e., exactly the type of person who opposes the liberal agenda and whose moral and social "re-education" is the object of liberal social policies. Typical of such bigotry is New York Gov. Mario Cuomo's famous characterization of gun-owners as "hunters who drink beer, don't vote, and lie to their wives about where they were all weekend." Similar vituperation is rained upon the NRA, characterized by Sen. Edward Kennedy as the "pusher's best friend," lampooned in political cartoons as standing for the right of children to carry firearms to school and, in general, portrayed as standing for an individual's God-given right to blow people away at will.

The stereotype is, of course, false. As criminologist and constitutional lawyer Don B. Kates, Jr. and former Handgun Control contributor Dr. Patricia Harris have pointed out, "[s]tudies consistently show that, on the average, gun owners are better educated and have more prestigious jobs than non-owners.... Later studies show that gun owners are less likely than non-owners to approve of police brutality, violence against dissenters, etc."

Conservatives must understand that the antipathy many liberals have for gun owners arises in good measure from their statist utopianism. This habit of mind has nowhere been better explored than in The Republic. There, Plato argues that the perfectly just society is one in which an unarmed people exhibit virtue by minding their own business in the performance of their assigned functions, while the government of philosopher-kings, above the law and protected by armed guardians unquestioning in their loyalty to the state, engineers, implements, and fine-tunes the creation of that society, aided and abetted by myths that both hide and justify their totalitarian manipulation.

You'll note that I also posted that I keep my cool and don't act a fool when I'm carrying my gun. Of course you chose to leave that part out. It's much more important to be able to put someone down than to be accurate and honest, right?

Acting like a fool is acting like a fool. I don't care if you "weren't carrying at the time". The anti-gun crowd doesn't care, and they use this type of behavior as a weapon against us. It still reflects upon you as hot-headed and immature. If you don't want to be called out as an asshole, then don't act like one. In the very least, don't go bragging on a public forum about it. :rolleyes:

30 to 70mph in around 5 seconds... Also, 0-60 in 4.8 seconds, the 1/4mi in 13.5 seconds at 105mph, and a [theoretical] top speed of 156mph.

just rent a car. and always ask for the insurance waiver.

when someone starts driving too close behind you jam your brakes on properly, or alternatively, let them try to overtake then run them off the road, preferably into a tree.
any damage to your hire car is picked up by the rental company.

or if you don't hire cars, just fit some bond type gadgets to your car, like the tyre-shredding-tack-thingies that drop out of the back of your car, and twat seeking missiles on the front.

Also, if you go any faster than about 55 mph, you are wasting gas. 55 is the optimum speed for your car, because any faster and the amount of wind resistance picks up at some crazy exponential amount for every mph you go.

So when you get on the highway, get up to the speed limit, set your cruise control, and drive.

Hmmmm....... dubious fact there.
I'd be interested to know how you came to this conclusion.
Are you suggesting that, for example, and i realise this is a little extreme, but for arguments sake, a ferrari 355 travelling at 55mph would get optimum fuel consumption, bearing in mind small but fairly important factors such as aerodynamics, gear ratios, etc?

I'm not even going to start with cruise control
