Ok, friday night... cruising the blvd. just enjoying the drive... a 4th Gen F-bod comes flying up on my right side, and right past me, i havent even touched my motor, im not gonna keep up with this LS1, so i just make my way beside em and its a chick driving.. got the stereo going but still i say "nice car" she doesnt even look over, but i hear someone talking **** in the passenger seat... next light im on the right side and this dude is hangin out the window yelling, "wait till it goes green, you aint got nothing, whuts up" so i calmly responded back that i was saying his chick had a nice car, he didnt have to be a dick about it... he goes off "whut mutha f'er, get out the car" and he starts getting out of the car and his biatch is trying to drag him back in.. he makes it out and starts running to my car, and its still a redlight and im not gonna fight this guy... in the street, with the state troopers office right across the road.. before he gets to my car, i drop the clutch and put some distance between us, but im almost halfway into the intersection. He comes running after but the light turns green, and he gets back in and she lights em up all the way across (where is the trooper? he wouldve been there had i done it) anyway, im behind these morons, and at the next light, its got a V-off for people turning right, well as i turn right, i rev one time just to be an ass and hes sitting on the door hanging out as they're driving straight, yelling and now has his shirt off

... im sure the guy was probably drunk, or mad cuz he has to have his old lady drive him around or something... i actually suprised myself at the restraint i showed.. but damn.. whut the hell is with people?

What a dick . Go figure

Ummm….. interesting…. But if the State Troopers Office was that close, why didn’t you simply get their plate number and make a visit? I understand your frustration, but you had the ability to do something about it…… and didn’t.

and say whut? this guy was gonna do something? FL generally has this rule of the cop has to see it... otherwise its just another report.

As a former Police Officer I can tell you that many times a report is the START of the end of such behavior. They have their actions put in writing (the offending drivers/passengers), and they (the police) can put out the plate number and description. This will allow them to catch the person(s) when they do something again, because chances are… they will.

Again, I can fully understand your frustration, but you passed up the chance to actually help remove these types of things from the streets. Police can’t be everywhere all the time, and it is by people keeping them informed of this type of behavior that they can better identify and then remove the problems.

And yes, he WAS going to do something…. Or at least that is what YOU thought, isn’t it? Why else would you have taken off when he approached your vehicle? You can’t have it both ways.

Please understand, I am not trying to cause a problem, only pointing out that people have the ability to actually do something about problem drivers/passengers, aside from calling them idiots on an internet forum….. where it does no good what so ever. You had your chance, and chose to let it pass.

When he comes running up to your car, pull out your .45 and he'll stop real quick. But then, you just opened a whole new can of worms.

You did what probably most of us would do too. Pulling away is much better than getting your ass beat, or beating his ass and a trooper just happens to be watching. Dont worry about it man, we all have run-ins like that with someone.

IDIOTS ...

TooMuchTooYoung · 08-30-2003

I used to carry a 9-iron and a compound bow in my old truck. I dont have anything now, I might have to rethink this a bit.

can't we all just get along? PS was she hot?

tostaroller · 08-30-2003

I think its helps to post this kind of stuff...now all of us know what our options are if a smilar situation happens to us... he's lucky you didnt (accidently) run him over when you were scared and trying to get away.

Cobra2k1 · 08-30-2003

If it was me I think I would have let him come over to my car and when he got close enough to my window I would have maced him then took off lol. Yeah I always carry mace with me, too many crazy people in the world not to have some sort of equalizer against stupidity.

I had something similar happen to me with 3 teenagers in a red Prelude once when I had my Cobra, but in that case I just dusted them so bad that I could no longer even see the car in my rearview mirror lol.

I would have grabbed my 3D mag light. Maybe I should think about getting some pepper spray in my car.
