BULLITT5897's Z got a bruised BUTT!

spearfish25 · 10-19-2009, 08:30 PM

I had a guy cut me off, stop in front of my car on a highway off ramp, and come up to my window threatening me after I honked at him for cutting me off on the highway. Calling the cops didn't do anything, but my father-in-law is a cop and ran a check on him. Turns out he was one bad dude and was arrested 13 times for burglary and drug dealing. Moral of the story is to swallow our pride when faced with 'crazies' on the streets and just let them be crazy without us teaching them a lesson. You never know who you're honking at, blocking, passing or otherwise interacting with.

Bummer about the Z though. Getting a little curb rash had me pissed for a few days. I bet seeing your car bruised eats you up.

The wreck happened at 5:30pm this afternoon. I will talk with the insurance company in the morning and talk to Artcraft tomorrow as well.

How are the Z repairs coming?

Realized after I posted and edited that part. I hope that toolbox is sitting at home on the sofa, sweating his nuts off, wishing he did things differently.

+1

That plus a bit of patience goes a LONG way. Let someone else "take care" of them.

Must be the same guy who was tailgating me on the Mass Pike a couple of years ago. I flipped him the bird in my rearview and he goes nuts! Roars in front of me by going in the breakdown lane, stops in front of me in the middle lane on a 3-lane highway in rush hour. gets out of the car and he's like 300 pounds, lol. I just stayed in the car, prolly why I'm here to type this today.

thats when you take out the legal concealed firearm and place on the dash in front of you...so he can plainly see it when he approaches the vehicle, and ofcourse have the ole cellphone at the ready with 911 dialed, so all you have to do is push send if he decides to be a super hero...

haha, no need. if he approached my vehicle i would have hit the gas. if he jumped out the way I would have taken out his still-opened driver's door. Hee hee I was driving a rental at the time.

Besides, I'm a CT resident with no waiver to carry in Massachusetts. You need a special waiver if you want to carry from out-of-state.
