    Not really asshole parking subject but the other day I was driving down the access road and a woman decided to pull directly out in front of me. I had to hit the brakes pretty hard so I wouldn't hit her. Then she proceeded to "brake check" me as if it was my fault I got so close to her. Pissed me off but in the grand scheme of things it's not that big of a deal. I may still have it recorded on my dash cam. I'll have to check.

    I've gotten to the age that if I encounter a aggressive driver I just let them have the road. It's not worth risking anything stupid.

    They could be worth their weight in gold should something happen and it's your word against theirs.

    This is the one I'm running

    I think brake checking is illegal. If I caught that on my dash cam, I would send the video to the police.

    Sounds normal to me. People seem to not want to admit to being wrong so they get defensive and start pointing fingers.

    It is illegal but not worth going through all the trouble of sending it to the police. Shit like that happens every day and I'm sure they have more important things to do. Now... If she had brake checked me after she pulled out in front of me and I hit her then that is a entirely different story. I'd have video proof of what actually happened.

    It also does time lapse video which is nice when parked.

    Build page is going to be completely redone in the next few days. Relentless Fab Bed Bars just came in about 10 mins ago :)

    I have never done that. Or thought about doing that, in my 40 years of driving.

    And yes, it is off the charts. It's also illegal.

    We used to do dumb shit like that too. If you take the plastic lunch trays and place them under someones tires you can just about move that vehicle wherever with a couple of guys. It was funny watching our buddies trying to find their rig in the senior parking lot when it really wasn't even there.

    Now if someone did that to my truck I'd be furious. I've grown up quite a bit in the last 40 years. I work really hard for what I have and to think someone else would mess with my stuff irritates the crap out of me.

    How about this lady who parked along a curb in the driveway. There were open spaces beside her and next to where I'm standing outside the restaurant.

    The blue one is hers. Parked facing the wrong way even.

    Nope. Haven't done it. Not gonna do it.

    And if i see someone like you intentionally hitting mine or someone elses vehicle because you think they "deserve it".....I'm probably gonna fuck em up. I work hard for my stuff and im sure other people do to. Even if they cant park for shit. How would you like it if people just started bashing your truck? Just sayin...
