Yeah, it's like they all think they are Dale Earnhardt Jr. or something, gotta draft you and save on the gas. Drives me freakin crazy cause you know half of them are on the damn phone or messing with something in their car.

I only tailgate big cars. You can't get much draft off the small ones.

Until you get smacked. It was over $6000 for mine. I just got my deductible check back from state farm (his insurance) and the accident was at the end of March (I think). I look behind me a lot now.

I like to slow down then speed back up just to ____ them off!

If you notice someone is on you butt then you have to leave extra space in front of you so you can stop, like in stop-go traffic its good to leave half to one car length between you and the car in front of you and that's while you're stopped(not just when rollin) that way if the guy behind isn't slowing quick enough you can move forward a little more. Also if it bothers you that much just let off the gas, if you're on the highway you'll slow down really quick, but the person behind you will normally think they just sped up and go around you(i've done that a lot of time and it always works) brake checks make people mad and in PHX you're likely to get shot

Oh and if you see a two tone tC ridin your behind...sorry I picked up the habbit in Italy cause everybody does it there and nobody cares so I always have to remind myself to back off a little

I never posted pics of the repairs because it looks pretty much like it did before it got hit.

Dude, you think its bad. Try living in east tennessee. These people really like to "draft" Redneck capital usa. We have trailers parked outside our racetrack 2 months before the race. Its rediculous.
