Default Seriously, WTF is wrong with people ?

So, on my way to work today (in my C4), I have this guy in an old POS chevy truck right on my bumper as I'm about to get on 290. I speed up a bit and he gets right on my bumper again, so I give him a quick brake check, ie get off my *** and he finally backs off.

As we get on 290, he gets right on my *** again and starts to merge over acting like he wants to run into me and cuts across three lanes of traffic. I flicked him off at this point and he just floors it (I could tell by all the smoke coming out of his POS) and continues driving like a jack *** swerving in and out of traffic and cutting people off. I didn't attempt to follow him or catch up to him, but sadly enough, after all his stupid driving, I ended up right behind him at the same exit a few miles down.

What is wrong with people ?? This guy was driving his POS like it was a Nascar with his bed was full of junk and could have easily caused several accidents. Was I supposed to be impressed or something ?

I had one today on 290 as well...that road most be a magnet for jackass drivers. Dude straight up cut me off in his silverado that was covered in bumper stickers. I let it go, however I kept a wary eye on him. His driving was very erratic, bobbing like a punch drunk prize fighter and riding the *** of the car in front of him. Once we neared the tollway, this douche nozzle made a rapid lane change from the left lane across all lanes onto the tollway entrance nearly wiping an acura rsx in the process.

Actually, I was feeling very generous and offered this story free of charge, the location was NW Houston. LOL

03Sssnake, I have to agree with you about 290, I have seen a lot of idiot drivers there lately. Not too long ago I had a guy in a huge 3/4 ton chevy cut me off to get onto the entrance ramp and then cut across all three lanes, cell phone in hand, not even glancing to the left once.

Here in Fort worth a while back I got smoked by an old f-350 flatbed welding truck, Literally, he downshifted and put out enough black smoke that it came into my car thru the vents,,,,Looked like an oil field fire in kuwait, his diesel making all kind of noise and smell and really didnt even look like it was accelerating, Kinda funny to me, I hope he was watching because I started waving my hand in the car and covering my mouth, but the roads truly are getting more populated with people who shouldnt even be allowed to drive a set of shoes....

so has any one seen a person pass on the shoulder yet?
seen this 3 times twice coming to Houston from CS on 290 and once coming home from the coast on 59. the thing about the idiot on 59 is traffic was flowing at 85 and it was packed to were no one could even change lanes.Needless to say the jackass flies by on the shoulder and low and behold there is his wife/girlfriend and his kid in the car and he had to nearly run someone off the road to get back in the flow.

Geez, bad enough that these idiots endanger themselves, but to do that kind of crap with your family is just awful.

haha reminds me of this jackass on the highway the other night. me and a buddy are switchin seats on the side of the off ramp with the blinkers on like it should be done, and this jackass in his kia comes down the ramp honkin his horn. so we get on the highway and he's flippin birds, so we flip em back and dude decides it's a good idea to follow us off our exit. so instead of goin to our friends house where we have at least 10 of our buddies waiting, i pull into a parking lot. i distinctly remember my friend saying "damn dude what are we gonna do" and i replied "we might have to kick some ***". He pulls up next to us and proceeds to get loud, which in turn I do the same. He decides to get out of his car, which in turn, i do the same. we have an "altercation" and i got back in my car, it took him a minute to get back in his haha. We went about our business, havent seen the guy since. Jackass drivers **** me off to the point where possible jail time doesnt seem like a problem.

Haha... was it a 7.3 with a turbo or not? If its a turbo that thing can sure as hell accelerate...damn.

To the op...I bet he remembered that he had a 350 in it.
