I saw this one guy in a parking lot with a beat up car; he "kicked" his door opened and it hit the nicer car right next to him. The dude just walked away like nothing happened.

Funny story RedBullRR, you'll get shot at in Baltimore before you are even done jumping out of your car. I'm sure roplusbee can corroborate what I'm saying

I hear you, same **** in Brentwood. It aint the nicest place in LI. I just have a short temp when it comes to people trying to use there car as a weapon. In my new Z that's a no no. In my jeep, there getting there car smashed.

[QUOTE=PapoZalsa;1053503]In PR they cut you off but don't give you the finger, they show you a gun...

When I lived in PR I worked in a bad neighborhood, San Isidro I'm talking about someone shot daily. At night you could not stop at a red light you were advised by the cops to blow rite thru them. Had off duty cops working for me and all at the bakery.

What's crazy is we were robbed a few times. But whoever robbed the bakery was found dead the next day. They have this thing to not rob from your own people in your own town.

I mean what gives, I'm certainly NOT driving under the speed limit!

I under stand what your saying! I keep a distance for safety, "suddenly stopping", or "evasive maneuvering"! There is always some one who just has to pull in front of me to eliminate my field of safety!

85 miles per hour, on a California freeway, is suicidal! Eventually they will be successful at that!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who notices this. I think that when people pass you and then cut you off, subconsciencely they're probably thinking they're in a fast car...with a smaller penis

I was just poking a little fun. I have been travelling for the last week and am a bit punchy.

Hahaha, so true. This happens to me a lot on the CA freeways and it ticks me off; I don't really care if someone is tail gating me as long as I can control the distance between myself and the person in front of me to allow for additional reaction time.

But the fact that people cut right in front of you even though they could have waited a few more seconds to pass and build distance makes me mad.

Yeah, that drives me nuts, especially because if they cut you off and then you hit them, it becomes your fault...

In L.A. it's fast tail gating by decent drivers. In the Bay Area it's lousy, slow, entitled people.

i don't mind getting cut off unless the jerk is jumping across two lanes to make his exit ramp right in front of me..............

you really won't to see some strange looks try driving 60 in the right lane
minding your own business listening to some tunes and someone will get
right in behind you and when they come around they will give you a look
that says " your driving a sports car that would curise all day at 100 and you
dragging along at 60!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

man ain't that the truth! People always seem to think that just because you have a fast car you speed.
