sometimes, i would let it go. I dont get cut off much, nor does someone get on my a$$. If they do, i slow down when i get next to someone so they cant pass, play that game for a little while and let them go right around where there's an unmarked cop car to catch them (caught about 4 that ive seen). Get cutoff its usually someone speeding or some little jerk racing so i can care less about them. Ill see them later on down the road in the trees or fliped upside down. Let them go, now and days down here people get killed for some dumb stuff like that. People are not the same anymore. Ill just let them be! They'll realize later on, i dont need to change them.

I don't get angry on the highways. I drive 20 minutes to work 4 times a week, so I set the cruise to 70 and sit back.

In town, I can get very mad, I admit. Our high school parking lot has one exit into the main road through town, so when exiting, you get in line, get into center lane, and wait your turn for a chance to merge. Well, this dumb junior _____ was behind me one day. I pull out, and wait. She shoots out and takes the opening a truck was making for me. I seriously lost my mind. I rode her ___ until I got over the hill this was happening on, and hauled ___ past her in the middle lane. Very illegal. But I don't care, it ____ed me straight off, couldn't tell you why it did so badly.

Like some of you, it depends on my mood. As ive gotten older ive realized that its not worth it to try and get back at some punk a$$ person that can careless about all the other cars that are carrying families. But when its out in the open I say F*** IT! I'll do what ever to let the jerk know that they are bein huge Di*ks.

Its not worth it (most of the time )

The only thing that irks me is when some son of a b*tch gets so far up my ___ their headlights disappear, then their hood all the way up to their windshield. When they pass they'd better be ready for a finger and a mouthful.

But you've really got to be careful where you let your emotions get the best of you. I know 100% that when i'm in Miami I don't start any sh*t with anyone because most of the a$$holes in the city pack heat.

My problem whenever driving any car, is somebody merging back in front of me too close and THROWING ROCKS! I always try to keep a huge buffer between me and the car in front of me, and if the left lane has nobody for hundreds of feet, i'll ride in it, and move over for faster traffic. I'm sure i've gotten many "WTF!?"s and many "WTF!!!"s from people, but you know what, that lasts for a few minutes at the most, touching up chips, and seeing them everytime you wash your most prized possession doesn't really go away. Even if you paint over them, the difference in color shade from panel to panel will then be your obsession. If you paint your whole car, then you can get over it, but that costs a fair penny for some chips.

Apart from running into a hitch cover on my dads Expedition my tC was cleeeeean. I knew how to drive to preserve that flaking paint. My Audi has already been driven by some idiot for 12k, so I have plenty of chips to adore when washing it.

You also forgot doing the same thing back to them and just dusting them.

A couple of years ago, I had a '04 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart (not quite an Evo, the magazines called it the "Baby Evo"). One night I was cruising to my work to pick up my check and for 'some reason' I was just in a crappy mood. Not normal....not 'angry'...just...annoyed for some reason.

Anyway, this douche in a porshe...(boxster I think) just got right on my butt like he was trying to read my underwear label. So...instead of tapping my brakes enough to make my lights come on.....I momentarily STOMPED on them.

This of course made him mad (like I cared) so he drops back, darts around a Celica that was next to me...cuts him off then cuts me off and does the brake thing right back.

"Oh hell no." This would be the point at which it was "ON."

The Celica, wanting no part of this fight had already moved over...or exited, I wasn't watching. So I switched lanes, and I just STOMPED on it like there was a hidden gear beneath my floorboard.

We neared a tollplaza (the ones where you just drive through like normal and an overhead 'beam' charges your tolltag) and I was about to pass him, so he juts over into my lane AGAIN to try and block me.....so...thinking back to the last NASCAR movie I watched and immediately switched lanes and nailed it.

Now, it was either because of his own lack of cajones, or because the boxster just didn't "have it"....but the next thing I knew, I was looking at him in my rearview mirror and he was about a block or three back...maybe more.

Normally I'd not have done any of this...maybe tap my lights a lil. But this jackhole just caught me on the wrong night. And his masculinity suffered for it.

Oh oh, I nearly forgot. I have another 'jackhole' story. This one isn't mine though and it shows how you can do the exact opposite of what I did and still come out ahead....and with something to laugh at.

Alright, let's see if I remember this right...

A girl I know in cali pulled into a Taco Bell for a salad. This particular taco bell's drive thru was such that, if you exit the drive thru lane, the only way out is onto the main road, which means you have to circle the block to get back to the Bell parking lot.

Anyway, she wanted a salad. None were made. So she had to wait. They asked her to pull up, but failed to recall she had nowhere to go. She DID pull up enough to let the guy behind her get his food though, hoping the salad would be out by then.

It wasn't. So now this guy in a BRAND NEW Mustang is behind her honking, throwing a fit and whatnot because she can't leave since she hadn't gotten her food. He even got out and I think hit her window once.

Anyway, I think she got her money back and was on her way, but the jackhole wouldn't let it go. Kept speeding up like crazy, getting right up to her, and then backing off.

Well, they near and intersection and she is intending to turn right, so she slows down. He gets into the middle lane, BLASTS right up next to her and JAMS on his brakes.....

...And promptly gets NAILED from behind by the car who had no intention of stopping on a GREEN light like this jackhole did.

She just looked, smiled and made her turn.

So much for his new mustang.

hehe one time I was with my b/f in his Evo and this corolla cut him off, so he followed him for a bit and we actually ended up following him all the way home (Not intentionally, he just happened to live off the street we were taking to get home)-- he pulled in his driveway and RAN into his house so fast, but then I wasn't surprised, he had HELLO KITTYs in his back window


but seriously, that was just luck- I would never follow anyone home-- Usually when someone cuts me off I try to just shout out a few cuss words (not out the window, in my own car with windows up and music on) to make myself feel better-- I always try to keep in mind that I don't wanna be a jackass driver like the person that cuts me off, and I don't want to look like I'm racing them or Officer Billy will ticket me so just breathe, deep breaths and try to go on your merry way
