My old jeep had a nozzle on the back windshield, the wiper arm had been broke off since i bought it, so it just sprayed straight back. I used that several times. Lol

...like a zit, I pick them off under a light...

It was a lot more fun in my truck than in the Camaro (truck in my profile pic. jacked up on 35s) I'd just slow down so they'd pass me, then I'd get on their butt and turn on my LED light bar. That'd make em run away quick! that bad boy makes your high beams look like a flash light.

My brother mounted on his jeep rock lights (for rock crawling.) he also mounted two LED lights in the rear bumper on the same switch. (basically headlights facing backwards.) So if people got too close to him he'd just hit that switch for 1/2 a second and watch them back off.

Now I just slow down so they go around. If they pull too close behind me at a stop light I'll stare them down in my side mirror and take like 10 seconds before I take off.

Tailgating has only recently become my biggest road pet peeve (and, related, pulling right up on my ass when I'm stopped at a redlight)

This! except not so much brake checking. LT headers, hi flow cats, no resonator and glasspack mufflers make's for a very loud, free flowing exhaust. I like to put the clutch in and give it a nice punch to wake them up. if nothing else, down to 2nd i go and away i fly

Uhh.. what's a tailgater? If they catch up to me it's my fault for not driving the car like it deserves.

AZCamaroFan · 01-21-2015, 11:13 AM

so sick of the tailgaiters. so sorry i'm doing 45 in a 45 and they want to do 47.
recently saw a cop tailgaiting and changing lanes, and not even signaling twice.

Better than potential damage with 'brake checks' and alot more fun too....

Pretty much ignore them. They are the ones with a problem, not me.

I slow down a lot until they decide to go around me. Once they try to, I speed up! Keep doing it to piss them off!!

I don't do a damn thing.
I am licensed to carry a pistol in more states than not, so if I were to get involved in an altercation with some road-raged idiot, ANY evidence could put me at fault for instigating.

If possible, and I'm not already, I get in the far right lane. Anything beyond that, I pretend there's nobody behind me.

Oh god. I wouldn't want to be on the opposite end of that.

As soon as this salt gets off the roads I don't put it permanently away I just hate washing it. So if roads are clear I will drive it but living here that's not much in January and February. Drove it a few times in December and around the first of the year. I miss it but it only gets hand washes and its to cold to do that so no foul weather driving.
