After a great workout I was driving leisurly north at mid-day from the gym on Preston Rd to local gathering place, Cruisers. In the short trip this guy and his wife, late 40s, in a SUV cut me off. Twice!

Each time they slowed down after doing it!

After the second time I steped on it and pulled out front and then into Crusiers, where I hopped out of my car. I have not kicked butt in a long time but I was hopping this Azz would pull in behind me. He really PO'ed me! They just kept on driving... ... I hate to say it, in all the years I been driving vettes I never said it before, but it was like they were trying to "show me" cause I was driving a vette.

 

Wow, what an a-hole! Best to just do what you can to remove yourself from that situation. People are crazy nowadays; you never know what's going thru their minds. (Note to self: another reason NOT to go to the gym!)

 

Sorry about the jerks in North Texas but in East Texas and elsewhere,
people will "pull out" on purpose,because they know you will stop and do all sorts of stupid $hit I experienced as a 2 Wheeled rider. It is most likely the same class of jerks that KEY or Slam a door into something don't have.
Glad it worked out OK, the dude may have been packin....

 

Well there are touch holes in connecticut too! wednesday I drove the car to work and this slunt is right up my a$$ and Im doing 60 which is ten over the limit. I stop at the stop sign and slam on the ebrake and get out and go back there and tell her to stay off my ***, and this slunt says: and you stay off mine sir!! In a russian accent. Im like how can I stay off your a$$? youre behind me you stupid b*%ch! Got back in my car and left. I have her license plate and if I ever see her car parked, I will pull all four of her tire valves out with a pair of pliers!! That'll slow her down!

 

they could have been setting you up for a hi-jack. best to just shoot there tires out and drive on.

 

Wow, was that you???

And, we are in 50/60's

No, JUST KIDDING

As a note, Preston/121 is soooooo bad I refuse to go to that area.

Since Stonebriar was built, they have redone 121 and Preston twice (in 5 years) - maybe, just maybe, they'll get it right this time.

 

A glock can solve a lot of problems

 

I had an interesting situation yesterday on the freeway, driving my wife and kids to celebrate my daughter's birthday with other family members. I wasn't in the 'Vette, but I was in a two lane that merges into one on an overpass for a freeway entrance. Two large pickups in the right lane. I'm in the left. As you know, when two lanes of traffic merge into one, it's a pretty simple concept. The guy in one lane goes, then another guy from the other lane goes, etc. In preschool, it would be described as "taking turns". Well, the first pickup merged into the now single lane ahead of me from the right, and I was going to merge into the lane behind him. Only the guy in the second large pickup who was behind the first one evidently missed preschool and driver's ed. He wanted to cut in ahead of me, but I was already in position and half a car length ahead of him, so I stood my ground. He cut over as close as he could to the side of my car, trying to intimidate me or whatever, but I just kept creeping forward (traffic was almost at a standstill) and then after the merge, as traffic began to flow, this guy decided to ride my tail to "show me" as well, I guess. I just stayed very calm and didn't do anything out of the ordinary to provoke any further response, and he eventually moved on without further incident. The whole episode had me thinking WTF? though...

 

Where have you been? I get this almost daily.

Why??

That's crazy, people are really stupid, crazy things happen to me too over here!

 

Beware road rage, it can happen to the best of us. Sorry you got to meet one of our nations finest drivers.


Have a and for awhile and put the SUV excitement behind you. If it helps, here's a

Enjoy your afternoon / evening at Cruisers.

 

Road Rage = disease! Or so they say!

 

There must be something going around!

I turned onto a four lane road, and a guy sees me and then turns right in front of me from a stop sign.He's in an old diesel mercedes and he stomps on it and almost smogs me to death!

I backed off and just shook my head. This moron gives ME the finger!
Guess he couldn't deal with the fact he's a jerk.

Met the wife for lunch and had a good laugh and a beer, felt much better then. (Although at the time, I could have easily pumped a few rounds into his car and never felt a pang of remorse. Too old to go to jail though!

 

Now that's funny! Pull out her tire valves with a pair of pliers! HA HA
I will remember not to follow you too close!

 

Some people are just jerks. Someday they will either cause an accident or someone will kick their butts.

 

Hey Dennis!

 

Glad you are ok...strangest thing happened to me yesterday and it all turned out well...for me anyway......

Sory its a long story but bear with me...

Some azzhat was following me for 3-4 miles real close yesterday on my way home from grocery shopping. I turned into my housing section which has a 1/3 mile stretch before it curves and gets to my street. When I turned onto the long road leading to my street he was about 2 car lengths behind me and I was in first and I nailed it to try to lose him...and looked in my rearview mirror and saw the largest cloud of smoke I had ever seen and about 3 seconds later I smelled something terrible. I thought someone was burning bad firewood or something but the smell persisted and I looked in the rearview mirror because I was approaching my street and I still saw nothing but that cloud of smoke way back and no car to be seen anymore behind me anywhere. I made it up my driveway and cut the engine and a ton of smoke poured out of the right side wheelwell and hood so I jumped out and quickly popped the hood and saw a lot of smoke on the right side of the engine and it took 5 mins to stop smoking. After close inspection I noticed the 1" hose from the heater core to the water pump had seperated where some kind of flow/control valve had seperated, one piece still in each part of the hose. I was relieved that it was nothing major just an inconvenience and a small part to replace pretty easily with the 2 clamps and a new plastic valve. I got in my beater and drove back down the road about 20 mins later to get a new part from the local Chevy dealer...passing the spot where I first nailed it and there was a car in the ditch and a cop car there and a wrecker towing that poor bastich out of the ditch(deep drainage ditches on both sides of this road) and the windshield was loaded with antifreeze as was the whole hood of his car. He didn't notice me as I passed but he really looked upset and I almost wrecked I was laughing so hard. Amazing but true story. Got the new part for $30.98/$13.01 wholesale (part # 10157988 Valve asm) incase anyone else blows a valve in their c4....It took 1 1/2 gallons of antifreeze and 1 1/2 gallons of distilled water....Now I'm thinking that jerk that was tailgating me must have thought I was James Bond

 

I WOULD SAY YOUR RE TOUGH,,,MAYBE HER HUSBAND, BROTHER BF MIGHT BE NEARBY SO YA BETTER START A FEW PUSH UPS NOW

 

I love it when I'm cruising in the right lane minding my own business and they bust azz to get around and head of you so they can slow down and take the next exit.

What ever happened to "Drive Friendly"? I guess it went the same way as " Good Customer Service"

 

I wouldn't sweat too much about the little things bro! I get that type of s**t and even worse, without fail, every saturday night coming home from Dallas. I dont even give them the satisfaction. Owning a vette just goes with the territory and jealousy is inevitible.
