FRUSTRATED at an idiot... ERG!
So last night on my way home, I had an idiot in a Trail Blazer SS riding my a$$. I kept driving normal since I was in the second right lane and there was an openin in the left two lanes.
He then proceeded to get on the side of me and try to rev back and forth (obviously trying to get me to race). Im not an idiot -- this is a cop zone for sure... one on north bound and one on south bound every day I travel this area.
Sure these SS trailblazers have power, I won't deny that... but give me a break, you and your minivan comfort seats
and 4 wheel drive... are you really a sports car?!? GO IMPRESS SOMEONE ELSE you tool box! 
Thanks for the rant.

I know how you feel. On Saturday I had a moron in a Charger R/T that just kept pacing me at about 65 on a 4-lane highway and wouldn't let me get around him. I'd pass (legally), then he'd race up and get back in front of me, drop to 62 or so, make me pass again, etc. Every time he went to get in front he'd gun it like crazy. Idiots. They're everywhere...

I seem to get more BS like that from minivans and SUV's. It's weird, not what I expected. Obviously I don't race them, what would be the point?
"Hey man, I blew away a Kia Sedona today!" Awesome bragging rights!
When my kids were little I had a minivan, felt like a tool driving it, but was pretty handy to have. So I've been there, I was NOT running up on sports cars, but that's just me. But then again, I'm not a snotty 30 something soccer mom either.

Good to hear you held back and didn't race. I was driving with my 6 year old and a fixed up mustang, g35, and a tahoe were racing on the freeway. They haul *** from the on-ramp and the Tahoe almost takes out another car. They mustang and the g35 see me and decide to slow down to around 55 mph and hold up traffic in the 1st and 3rd lane. I am in the middle thinking WTF? I pull even with them and they are cheering me on and trying to get me to race. What a bunch of idiots! I roll my window down to show them my son is with me and I tell them to stop holding up traffic. They bone out while the rest of us are just shaking our heads.
Imagine if they cause a crash and witnesses mistakingly accuse me of racing with these fools. Save it for the track.....why risk innocent lives?

Two weeks ago, I had a jacka$$ in an old rusty Ford Aerostar mini-van pull that one on me. Rode my tail, then popped over when two lanes opened. Nasty, dirty wife riding shotgun, with kids in the back in the early-90's grocery gitter. He actually wanted to run it with me! Luckily, he turned off at the trailer park.
