how about tailgating?    So I'm on the main drag, a 4 lane speed limit 50MPH doing that +some at the tail end of a long line of traffic in the right lane, left lane is wide open for some distance. This Land Rover comes roaring up behind me getting close enough I can't see the windshield, just a grille. I figure they will get off at the next exit, but no, so I let of the gas & coast for the next 1/8 mile & the get even closer, by now I'm hundreds of feet from the next car & there is still no one in the left lane so I drop down a gear & get down to about 40MPH, finally the Rover goes around, some female with a cell phone driving, & races up to the next car in front of me & gets on their tail. My exit comes up but I watch this idiot still assgating over the next overpass.  Shoulda break checked em huh?....probably a transplant from Atlanta  :roflsmiley:

...about leaving a pet at home??!!

The driver's lap is NOT the place for the pet!!!!! :aarg: :aarg: :villagers: :villagers:


...about picking one's nose in private??!!

On the way back to my desk from being on the road today, i'm stopped at a light. Next to me is a lady talking on her cell while at the same time seriously digging for some new vein of nasal gold. I stared her way for the period of time before the light changed, but she never looked my way. Hey lady!! Find a freakin' bathroom with a mirror where you can excavate your body cavities in freakin' private!!! :aarg: :aarg: :aarg: :villagers: :villagers: :villagers:

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that feels better..................

I'm (for a few seconds) Earl Pitts...PITTS OFF!!

So I'm driving my Charger today and just entered a highway from the on-ramp and it's got it's own lane so there's plenty of road to wait for a safe merge (and yes I'm up to highway speed).  Turned my blinker on and waited for this guy left of and behind me to signal or do something...he pulls his nose up to my rear bumper and sits there for at least 10 seconds as I'm trying to merge left, then floors it (I'm assuming) and then pulls in front of me into my lane that is now an exit lane...so I had to hit my brakes to keep from hitting him, then I can finally merge left into the main highway lane. 

I had my damn blinker on forever and he only needs to slow down about 10 feet to let me in.  He was going into my lane anyway and nobody was close behind me.  Well he got a honk and some flowmaster noise.  Jeez!
I love my 440...but it's not loving me back...yet

OK here's a funny story I've been wanting to tell for a while.  I'm pulling up to a 4-way stop in my work truck, 6-cyl Ram, at the same time to my left a BMW Z4 with the top down is just a tick later than me. While I had the right of way rather than sitting there looking at each other I just immediately waved the guy to go. Well this Kojak on steroids looking dude gives me a glare like I was givin him the finger or something & takes off like a bat-out-o-hell, I ease on down the road & am behind him at the next light, for the next 1/2 mile he's weaving in & out passing every car he can but by the next light we are side by side 1st in line. By now he has a cell phone crammed in his ear & when the light changes I gun it & leave him in mid sentence, of course by the time I hit 40, the speed limit, he rips past & beats me to the next light where again we're side by side. So he's sitting there yakin & the left turn lane light flashes green so I give the truck a little juice wile holding the brake just to make it jump a foot,(no cars were coming) Kojak floors the Z-4 but the light is still red, he realises it & crams on the brakes half way thru the intersection. About that time the light goes green & I take off.......never saw the BMR again.  :rofl:
