Luckily for that arsehole, it wasn't the Z, there were no serious damages. I lucked out somehow considering I was driving another pearl white painted car. I took the car to a friend shop and he got all the scratches and dents out the same day. NOW had it been the Z I would have probably ripped that guy head off... Cheers

yah, just keep backing off and you'll be fine.

cjeezy · 04-13-2011, 08:47 PM

Ya'll crack me up. My point was that theyr'e originally behind me, then change lanes and then cut me off only to go slower than I am...which again defeats the purpose of keeping a little distance from them in front of me lol. I'm not worried about losing time, just don't want rocks thrown up at Nissans crappy *** paint.

In PR they cut you off but don't give you the finger, they show you a gun...

maaann Frank is right people here are bad.

One time with the left lane closing, i saw a MB hauling *** down the lane and if i didnt let him in front of me, he would have hit the orange barrels or the semi truck.. or me..

He thanked me for giving him room, by flipping me the bird.. So mad i was actually banging my head on the steering wheel.

but not been to SKorea, but in China.. driving is a madhouse. Its a way of life there, but for the outsider to see it would freak them out.

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.

People in Delaware do that.I try and leave a safe distance and some idiot just shoots in front of me only to slow down (in the left lane) less than the speed limit. ( in Jersey we call the left lane dicks )

LOL ahhh man. I moved to DE last Aug from NJ. One thing I noticed down in DE/MD is that you have less dicks floundering around in the left lane. It seems that in NJ you can have a 3-4 lane highway and not be able to make forward progress because you have people doing the -5mph in the fast lane, -+5 in the next lane and all different speeds in the other lanes (along with exit/merging traffic). And god forbid you try and wait for the "right/safe" moment to pass, some douche will come flying up on your tail and then scoot into the lane next to you, further cockblocking any forward progress.

I coined this situation "jerked off". The context I use is "The traffic is all jerked off, I'm just staying in my lane".

When it's that bad I tend to just move the hell over to the right side and join the cattle herd. It feels safer over there than being with the jabronies weaving and braking constantly.

Seems to happen a lot.

Quit slowing down. Problem solved. Who the fack cares about rock chips anyway?

How fast are you driving and in what lane? Really makes me wonder when you say 'you aren't going under the speed limit' because I know lots of people who don't drive under the speed limit but deserve to have crap like that happen to them because they drive 65-70 in the fast lane when normal people are doing 75-85.
