Default old guy in vette gets what he deserves today!

I took my car to the tire shop today. I had a couple of nails I need pulled from my tires .

As Im leaving the place this old guy (60+) in a blue C5 vette flies up on my ***, this is in a 40MPH zone. So, I sped up a bit, mind you its the middle of the day in cop central. (there wasnt going to be any whining from the cobra ) He does it again, this time I cant even see the front of his car, just mirrors.

On the fourth time, a local sheriff hit the lights and pulled him over. Im not sure how long the cop was back there but I hope he cited him for wreckless driving and not just for following too closely.

Sounded like he had exhaust, I didnt hear any cam lope or blower noise, looks like the cops saved that Vette owners' dignity...

Tom

Nothing pisses me off more than people riding my ***. I hate that ****! I drive fast enough as it is.

Anyway, looks like he may have wanted a race. You should've took his dignity and made him think twice about tailgating another car.

I hear that man. I had some stupid young kid in a new v6 convertible mustang come flying up on my *** while im doing 75 mph in a 65 mph 3 lane highway. I was in the left lane easily passing the traffic in the middle and right lane and he comes up going like 90 mph out of nowhere and I couldnt even see his headlights. I sped up and went to move into the middle lane because Im not an ***, Ill move if someone wants to go faster than me, and as I put my blinker on and go to move into the middle lane he tries to jump it and go into the middle lane too. He had to slam on his brakes from running into the back of my g35x. He literally almost killed both of us so I got his plate and called the Mass state police and gave them the info as to where we were on the highway and the direction he was going. Dont know if he got pulled over further down the road because he was flying and my exit was coming up but I couldnt believe how stupid this kid was...

So I was out cruising in my Corvette today looking for young gold diggers. I was loaded on Viagra, so needless to say I was feeling pretty good. I happened to come upon this young wipper-snapper in a Mustang who probably thought he could hang with the men.

Then out of no-where, some officer of the law pulls me over saying I was driving too close to the car in front of me. Being old and wiley, I just told him that I can barely see and didn't even notice there was a car in front of me, which isn't far from the truth. So I got off......but not in the way that I had hoped.

Obviously you are a hardened criminal!

You should have gotten a stiff sentence...

if a car is trying to pass when there isn't enough room....causing you to drive on the shoulder to avoid a head on......I've seen my friend throw a hand full of change and fast food cups out the window when they pass......stupid ******

i have absolutely no problem with someone throwing **** out the window at cars that are tailgating them if the person is travelling at a reasonable speed (as long as it doesn't hit other cars...). tailgating is dangerous, especially for the person who could be rear-ended, and if it takes the other persons cars getting smashed up to learn the lesson and not risk other people's lives, then that's what they get.

related: i went to school in boston and people on newbury street always blew through stop signs in their fancy mercedes and bmws while you were IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CROSSWALK. they wouldn't even slow down, so i used to wail on their cars with whatever i had in my hands (backpack full of books, hardshell guitar case, you name it). people would slam on their brakes in the middle of the intersection like they were gonna get out, but quickly drove away when instead of running away, i would start walking straight at them ready to kick the **** out of them for almost killing me. bastards.

Way to stay cool and not race. I have been driving my G/F. around in my car a lot lately and she doesn't really let me do any racing or fast driving and I actually am kinda glad. I have been seeing lots of people getting pulled over that would pass me. So I save a bunch of money on Tickets and car insurence by having a G/F. riding with me.

Haha dont get me started! I work near Copely and same thing, people blow through stop signs. Its even worse near downtown crossing. I have cussed out more than a few people for almost running me over, and its not like they cant see me, im friggen 6'8 260 pounds...everytime thought he same result. Ill scream at them, they will look at me like I WAS THE ONE WHO WAS WRONG, and will drive on their merry way. One of these days im gonna take you advice and give a macho man randy savage elbow onto the hood of their car!

I've played with the idea of setting a camera up in the back window of my car and recording when I come to work in the morning. It never fails that there are at least 3 stupid women in fancy cars that I can't even see their headlights! The good news? "I brake for tailgaters... I mean trains".

I would love to tape it and then send the tape to my insurance agent to show why the whole "males are more dangerous" thing is a load of crap.

A word to anyone in Alabama who likes to tailgate, my rear bumper is cracked and I'd be plenty glad to let you fix it.

I was doing 40 in a 35 with this b*tch in a Mercedes on my bumper. On the road in front of me was a large branch. I kept my speed and lane until the last second when I swerved around the branch. She ran over it, and it wedged under her car. Sticks flying everywhere. She kept going like nothing happened!

I had some morons tailgate me once after trying to run my buddy off the road. Seeing how I had a howitzer hitch on the back of the Bourbon, I just locked them up and planted it in their grill. So, being the fucktards they were, they flew around in front of me and hit their brakes. I just stood on it and let that big 454 push them down the freeway at 90 or so. They lost it and spun off in the dirt, only to come back for more. As they eased up alongside I saw the Brother in the back with a little chrome pistole and being the nice guy I am, took the 12 gauge 3" magnum coach gun off the dash and just laid it out the window for 'em. They decided enough was enough and exited at a non-exit ramp with steam rolling from under the car. No worries...
