Tailgate me, and you'd better have lightning reflexes and 1st class brakes & tires, especially if I'm in the truck.

Na, just do what I do .... Toss a hand full of 3/8 nuts out behind ya, theyll back off .......guaranteed!

the thing that gets me the most is the people that box you in cause they want to check the car out. then, you miss your turn because you can't change lanes because there is no room to speed up and pass, and when you slow to get behind them to change lanes, they slow down too.

i had some guy in a porsche doing that to me the other night. it was lame.

The sad truth is that the world has a lot of haters. People who act stupid because they are jealous or envious. Example: My wife and I are coming out of a video store. A guy in a newer GTO comes out behind us. He says "I don't like the looks of the new Camaro. My GTO looks a lot better." I say "Yeah I guess you gotta think that." He then says..."and I know my car is faster" I say "that might be true..but my car came with the girl." He looks at us with a stupid grin on his face. Gets in his car and peels out.
Why can't the guy just say "nice car."

I believe Top Gear proved this point in one episode using an M3 and Prius(?)
on their track.
The Prius(?) was told to run flat out and the M3 just followed it. The M3 was more efficient.

(it has been some time since I've seen it, but I believe my memory is correct)

Off-topic! JFTR, that was a Volkswagen CrossFox, not sold in the North America.

Yesterday while driving on a 45 mph speed-limit four lane highway with a huge median, two small cars directly in front of us decided to stay side by side at 30 mph. My husband, who was driving our Camaro, started to get pissed so I had to calm him down. You could see both of these guys smiling in their rear view mirrors. We eventually got around them after a couple of miles. We ended up beside one of them at a light. The highway became 55mph so hubby revs the car up, nails it, burns rubber and we leave them in the dust. What a freaking rush!

I had one in front of me as we pulled onto an interstate...he stayed in the left lane WOT trying to keep ahead of me and refusing to move into the right hand lane like I was going to struggle to keep up or something.

Was curious if anyone else has had some similar experiences...

It was prob that dumba$$ Tim Tebow driving the Prius LMAO
