That other thread got me to thinking....what's the worst thing you(or your "friend" ;) )has done to someone else on the road?
It usually takes quite a bit to get me going, somebody in the car or myself have to be directly threatened before I get pissed. About a year ago I was cruising down the 126 on a sunday afternoon. Not busy at all as I'm the only person on the road for at least a half mile in any direction. Some fuc%tard comes up from behind me from out of nowhere so I get over to the right lane to let him/her go by. No prob, I'm rollin my old school slammed caddy and I know it ain't a hot rod so it's not like my pecker is gonna fall of if I let this dude go by:rolleyes:
Homie follows me into the right lane and proceeds to ride about 2" off my bumper(which has steel spikes coming off so obviously this guy A: doesn't see them, or B: feels like getting skewered on the back of my car)
I'm getting a little peeved at this point but by no means enraged so I start thinking about messing with him a little. No way am I gonna slam on the brakes since I could never rebuild this caddy for whatever I could collect from insurance. Up ahead a ways is a shredded semi tire casing. I do some quick math in my head(4th gen camaro frontend + 100lbs of rubber and steel = homie, yer f@cked):D
So I get right up on it and homie can't see anything since he's so close to my car. Cranked the wheel at the last second and homie slams into the tire....plastic and rubber went flying! I get off at the next exit and so does homie, he rolls up along side and I check out the damage----then look at him and say "What happened?":p
OK, now lets hear everyone elses tales of road rage:cool:

Well, this guy was being a prick when I tried to change lanes and wouldn't let me in. So a bit down the road he wants in the lane I'm in. He's one of those corporate types in his black Honda Accord, probably carpooling home (no offence if you fit that desciption). I wouldn't let him back in, so se decides he's gonna be bold and take the lane. He just about took off the front of my truck and then proceeds to flip me the bird. Needless to go into anymore details, the PO-PO called me a few days later and ask me about an altercation I was in. They asked me about throwing a handfull of rocks at his shiny little car, I responded that I don't make a habit of carrying rocks in my vehicle, and they let it go at that. Of course I wasn't gonna tell them that I littered the guys car with a handfull of pennies. I guess it left quite a bit of damage.

I've got two good stories. Here is the first.
Me and my good friend Garageski were working in Tucson AZ contracting for the telephone co. and while driving home to OC we got cut off by a trucker just past Rice road. So we were doing 85-90 and this guy is going 65 tops. As we are stairing at the back of his rig we notice a sticker with one of those calvin hobbs guys pissing on the American Flag. And to make matters worse the calvin hobbs guy has a sumbrerro on with the mexican flag on the hat. So he finialy pulles over into the slow lane and as we pass I BA him and chuck my super big gulp drink out and hit him right where his window was cracked open. The drink must have nailed him.
As i'm writing this i'm realizing that I would'nt do the same thing today but where does that guy get off working and driving through my country defacing my country's flag. I'm sure it was his trailer because he had the same thing on the door of his truck with mexican flags hanging from the rear view mirrors. And he was mexican

I saw that sticker on the 15 south, just below barstow. I wanted to run him off the road:mad:
Back when the 15 north had the fast lane that ended right about the 138. I would get so frustrated at the jerks that waited until the last second to move right. They just have to get that one extra car length. Well I always just maintained my speed and distance from the car in front of me. They had 2 choices, the wall or the spot behind me. Well one night the guy decides he is gonna choose the wall. He finally gave up but for a while we were both in the fast lane. Not one of my smarter moments for sure. But driving that same piece of road for 10 years, those idiots just got the best of me. I try to be mellow most of the time. I like to use my washer on my windows when being tailgated by a nice newer car. Mind you I don't drive slow. 80 MPH or better unless traffic won't allow it. So there is no reason to ride me. OK I'm at home and I should not be thinking of the drive anymore. :cool:

That's the beauty of a hot-rod diesel truck...tailgate me and you get the spy-hunter smoke screen trick. :D
Of course, having the power to pass just about anything on the road doesn't hurt either.
My pet peeve these days are the people that drive slow in the fast lane, or pace the guy in the other lane. A quick flip of the headlights doesn't seem to be getting the response I want either, as they usually just sit there anyway. My next trick will be passing in the dirt on the left. I'm sure they'll appreciate the shower of rocks as I come back on the road.

i drive the 10 west to el monte for about 30 mins each way, 5 days a week - It seems like just this freeway is a magnet for the worst drivers! People drive in the fast lane doing 60 - every car that comes up behind them is passing them, and they still don't get a clue! Even worse is Caltrans picks the middle of the day to sweep the shoulders, making for traffic worse than most accidents cause. Anyone else lucky enough to drive this way?

Hey that reminds me. I did that right out of pheonix. The truckers were dickin around with some guy before I pulled up. They took up both lanes and drove 55 mph side by side for 15 miles. From about Goodyear to the first texico west of the wash ( I think it's wickenburg) anyway after a while I was steaming and had 5 hours left to my drive so I said F it cannon ball run style and passed em all on the right. I don't think they had ever seen anyone do that because after I passed they got back in the slow lane. Damm I used to be crazy.:p

I got a couple...
This isn't really road rage, but still a pisser-offer.. I was at Pismo beach with some friends of mine and we had just gotten there. Parked right at the entrance waiting for some people to show up. This guy in a PSD F350 on mudders drives in and stares at me really pissy-like. He drives by and turns around and roosts the hell out of us and our trucks which was totally uncalled for and takes off. He turns around and does it again so I start flipping this guy off and he stops and gets out and wants some shit. We start boxing and this guy does pretty good, I shot in and dropped him and he obviously knew nothing and immediately went belly-up so I go full mount on him and beat the shit out of this guy until the "beach police" ran up and seperated us, I told them how old I was and they told me to hit the road and escorted me out, that guy should be ashamed that he got his ass whooped by a 16 yr old kid and he had to be late 20's... I don't understand some peoples thinking, I wasn't looking for a fight or anything and this guy just comes out and starts shit...
Another one. Coming home one night this guy hauls ass past me coming to a red light and jumps into my lane and locks em' up and short brakes me. My truck doesn't stop like his brand new 350Z so I had to jump over a lane to not rearend him. He starts getting crazy, hes on my left side so the light goes green and he is pacing me. As we come to the next light he gets over into the left turn lane and I chucked an empty Sobe bottle (the glass ones) and landed it square on the hood, must have scared him or something cause he didn't chase after me... People drive like ass in So-Cal:mad:

Back in High School, my girlfriend's ex boyfriend and I both lived and worked in the same general area. Every time I saw him, he would cut me off and flip the bird. Mysteriously one time I came out of work, and shoe polish was used all over the windos of the car. Eventually I got tired so I decided that he needed to be paid back. I went to a metal salvage yard and got one of the old fire extinguishers that the top screwed off. I filled the thing about 3/4 worth of water with food coloring and charged it via an air compressor. The next time I saw the guy, we were stopped at a light and his windows were down (how perfect) ;). I let that bad boy rip! In his car, over him, etc... To say the least he was less than happy. Being in a big suburban I took off and he tried to follow in his rice burner. Went through a drainage ditch and it almost ripped his front end off of the car. Got away without a problem and couldn't stop laughing the whole way home.
Well, all that the event did was piss him off and eventually it escalated (I ended being the victor), but how funny was it when he was getting sprayed with the water. :D ;) :eek: :p

So here's my other one.
I was driving to work west on the 91 at about 5:15 am in winter so it's dark out side still. As I approach the construction for the new toll road 241 this guy in a honda slams on his breaks at 35 mph. I'm driving a 94 Toyota 4x4 on 33's and lock em up and i've got anti-lock breaks. Startled me all to hell and then the coffie buzz kicks in. So i'm thinking this guy thinks I have my brights on and I don't so I flash him a couple of times and he does it again and I come inches away form hitting him and god knows whats behind me. So this guy moves over to the left and I pull up to see what the hell's goin on and he swerves at me. I'm thinkin what the hell is up with this guy. If i would have rearended him it would have looked like a monster truck ralley. Lifted Truck + Honda = pancake. So he swerves at me again missing me by inches so I look down at my Club and think aaaaaaaaaa no. and then I remember I have a bag of the old lug nuts behind the seat. So he swerves at me one more time and that's it I go into survival mode and start chuckin lug nuts. I broke out all of his pass side windows and cracked his front window. Then the ass hole still tries to chase me aroud. I lost him thru traffic. But I think he really was crazy.
To be absolutly honest I did nothing to provoke this dick and was honestly worried about my safety when I reacted this way.
Sometimes people can bring out the worst in you!

The best time i've ever had on the way to the river was in 95. My buddies parents owned a doughnut shop and loaded up before we left. We had about 6 dozen. Some where around indio we decided to start throwing them at our friends as we passed them up. Just about all of them smoke so when they lit up and rolled down the window we would do a drive by. Man that had to be the funniest shit i've ever seen. Imagine your buddie pulls up to you on the way to the river, you roll down the window to see what he's sayin and BAP! You get pelted with a freakin doughnut.
We were all 18 and had pos trucks, just livin crazy and havin fun.

I got on the freeway one morning cruising along, minding my own business when some fng foreign scum pulls up next to me and starts swerving at me and screaming. We exchange friendly hand gestures and I motion for him to pull off so we can have a "conversation". I pull off on the next off ramp and he follows me, as I stop some other car comes FLYING off the edge of the fwy/offramp, swerves in front of me and locks 'em up. It was the assclowns two towel headed buddies that were following him.
They all get out of their cars, I check to make sure their hands are empty and then I get out to engage in a spirited debate.
I gotta tell you, mid east fu cks fight like little girls, the first one that got close to me tried to slap me, heh heh. Mistake, I lightly tag him one in the chops, (he was little and I was afraid I'd really hurt him). He and one of his clown pals start to look a little scared and back off a hair. Not the third guy though, he really wanted to have his ass kicked. He couldn't fight though, he kept trying to punch me in the balls, everytime he did though he'd get a round house to to the head. I would have dispatched his punk ass in a second if I didn't have to keep swatting his pals off my back. He decided to switch tactics and tried to head butt me. I'm 6'-3" and he was about 5'-10", he could only head butt my chest LOL, and got a good uppercut at each attempt. He finnally backed off about 3' dropped his hands, and starting shouting "Don't **** with me man I'm Crazy I'm ****ing crazy" in that stupid ****ing middle eastern accent. That's when I dropped him like a sack of chit. The two other ass clowns picked him up and dragged him to one of the cars and threw him in the back seat, while I was kicking their car and ripping shit off of it. When they left, screaming "you have hurt him very bad we must go to hospital" I chase them down the street totally clicked off at that point trying tear their side view mirror off and spitting on them.
Suddenly I returned to sanity and disengaged before LE showed up.
I didn't notice until I calmed down that my shirt was totally shreaded, I was missing a contact and actually had some lumps on my head and a nice shiner.
AHHHHHH the good old days!:D

I might have the winner here.
Me and the wife(girlfriend at the time) are coming home from the gym one evening and there is a line of cars going around a big semi carrying a loader. Well one smart guy in a little Celica tries to go around everyone and cut back in at the last second. Just my luck I'm the car he decides to cut in front of, of course I'm driving a lifted Chevy with 35's and I don't let him in and everyone behind squeezes up and won't let him in either. He ends up farther back than he started. So we pass the truck and everyone moves back over to the right lane to let the idiot pass and be on his way, it's over right??? Not so....the little bastard pulls in front of me locks up his brakes and almost takes me out. I miss him but not by much. He is flipping me the bird and yelling and waving his arms, pretty much going nuts, so I hit the gas blow around the guy and haul ass to the light where we turn into the apartment complex, just as I'm about to turn the guy comes screeching up and almost takes me out again, this time I thought for sure he was gonna sideswipe me. I can't believe it this guy is nuts, well the wife's had enough and yells "Go get him". So we turn and follow him off to the side of the road.....This is where it gets good/bad.....
He jumps out of his car and starts walking towards the truck screaming, I get out and walk towards him asking what his problem is.......at that point he reaches around behind his back and pulls something out of his waistband......I'm think oh shit this little bastards got a gun.....he lunges at me and takes a swing at me with his right hand...not knowing what he has I hook his arm under my left arm and hit him right in the nose harder than I have ever hit anyone in my life....it knocks him down and as he lands I see he has a T-handle knife in his right hand. At this point I yell to the wife "He's got a knife call the police!!!!!" She grabs the cell phone and I'm watching the guy....his nose is bleeding pretty bad and his dazed....tries to get up and falls down a couple of times....before he makes it to his car....I think oh shit this guy's gonna get away so I run to my truck and grab a pen and write down his license number as he drives away and the wife is on hold with 911........it was at this time that I felt a warm wet sensation on my right side....I put my hand up under my armpit and pull it back and it's covered in blood!!!!! The little f#$ker stabbed me.......and I'm bleeding like a stuck pig.....I take my shirt off and put pressure on the cut.....the wife finally gets through to the police and tells them to send an ambulance....at this point she's freaking out. Well this all happened in Chino Hills about a mile from the police station and fire station ....so I got the watch commander in his tahoe, two cruisers, an emt fire truck, a regular fire truck, the fricking ladder truck, a regular ambulance, and the helicopter circling overhead all in about 5 minutes....They get me loaded in the ambulance and take a look at the cut, its right in my armpit and they think it might have punctured a lung so they have to stick a large q-tip in to see how deep it is.....well its only an inch deep so no helicopter ride for me just a long night in the ER.
Sorry this is long but hopefully worth it.....In the ER all the cops are asking me questions about what happened and they tell me they ran the plates and were on the way to the guys house. A hour or so later the watch commander comes in and tells me they went to the guys house but he wasn't there, the family said the guys mom had just taken him to the hospital to get his nose looked at.....the cops go to the Chino Hospital yank him out of the emergency room arrest him and take him to Arrowhead Hospital where the county jail hospital is, which also happens to be where they took me because they have a major trama center, so the guys on the floor above me in jail hospital. They look at him and he has a broken nose, the bone that holds his upper teeth was broken and his eye socket was broken too......I guess the adrenaline was really flowing when I hit him. Well he was just 18 and a wannaby gang banger, so he went to jail for assault with a deadly weapon, he plee bargained down from attempted murder and I got a nasty little scar under my arm. If it had been a 1/4" deeper it would have puncted my lung and I would have drown on my own blood......I got lucky and have a different outlook on road rage......it's not worth it....let the f#cker's go ....don't waste your time its not worth it.....

Back when I was around 16, I was being tailgated by a guy in a new BMW. He was flashing high beams, etc. I tapped my brakes to let him know to get off of my rear and that pissed him off even more. Started honking, flipping the bird, etc... That pissed me off so I started accelerating hard, then hitting the brakes, swerving, not letting him get on side of me, etc... He followed me for a good 2-3 miles doing between 50-70 the whole way. When I turned, he turned. Finally I got pissed. I picked up the cell phone and dialed 911. I said that there was some crazed maniac on my tail who had been following me for the past couple of miles. At that point in time, I slammed on my brakes and my trailer hitch went right through the front of his car. We were probably doing somewhere between 25-30 when that happened. As soon as I felt him hit, I gassed it to get out of there. The whole time, I am still on the phone with the police and I said that I am not going to stop because "I am afraid for my life." I kept going and went to my house. When the cops came later that evening, they asked for my story. I said that "I had to stop for a stop sign" and since the guy was so close, he hit me. Didn't want to make it seem that I intentionally had the guy crash into me. The guy said that he was following me because I was speeding by his house. BFD!!! The cops blamed the accident on him and asked me if I wanted to press charges for putting me in danger. I said no, because I was partly at fault for F'ing with him, but he was the one that had to fix his new car & that cant be cheap.
All of my negative experiences have been back when I was young and dumb. Well, not that I am not dumb now, but back when I felt like I was invincible. All that all changed in a second when road rage ended up with a gun in my face. Thats another story for another time. ;)

There was a dude tail gating me for quite sometime, I didn't much care, but with the girlfriend at the time yelling in my ear, this guy tail gating me and everything else it was a high stress situation. We came to a stop light and this guy litterally puts his bumper about an inch away from my back bumper. Still just going with the flow.. The light turns green, and I shit you not, not even a 1/2 of a second goes by before he starts blowing the horn etc..
With that I snapped. I grabbed a full un open pepsi that I had, jumped out of the car and fired that focker right into his windshield. I threw my arms up and told him to get out of his shitbox and let's do this.. He didn't So I got back into my car and left. The girlfriend was silent for the rest of the ride home.
That's about my only real good road rage story..

Schiada just so so. There's no baffles in the tanks so when I lift after a pass I starve the pump, pressure goes to zero and the boat idles to a stop.:frown: I'm going to have to put baffles in the tanks, get new tanks or put in a T-tank, another pump more lines returns etc. Did you ever have any problem with starving the pump?
On the other hand I'm going to put a bag of lug nuts in the center console, that or a box of doughnuts!:D
