Some C-5 drivers are JERKS :(
My wife was almost run off the road today by a "red Corvette with Black top". Probably a coupe. She was on a road that went from 2 lanes each way to one lane each way. Just as the road narrowed a C-5 tried to "sqeeze inbetween" her and the shoulder to get in front of her. Almost hit her car before hitting his brakes. Then tailgaited her running up then falling back for about 3 miles because he was upset that he had to do the 55mph speed limit. He did have a personal plate but my wife could not remember it. Guys like this are the ones that give us a bad name. Okay.....rant off.

It could have been any type of car that did it.
Luckilly all that was damaged was some pride.
