a test in humanity

HAHAHA!!!! Yup-one of the unspoken attributes of the low-end-torquey Tacoma..it LOVES hills man! Hills are like a shot of fiber for these trucks! Good read, Canada

 

People are in way too much of a hurry now-a-days. I usually drive my truck the peed limit except when the speed limit excedes 2000 rpm. I own a hot rod and always have my friends passing me up when I drive it. They say I drive like a paw paw. People don't seem to get as mad at me when I am driving the chevelle below the speed limit they usually pass and wave.

 

ok, i am a girl,. so if the driver its a guy, i put down my windows, and smile to him, with a sexy smile, and put a face of: whats happend?, ..but i like the idea of turn on the reverse lights, sounds rought!!!! hhahaha

 

well I must say I take no sh!t on the highway I had a guy a while back tailgating me lol "mr.lead foot" I saw he was in a hurry so I sped up a bit he was still tailgating ok so he was in a big hurry I sped up a bit more now doing 70 + in a 55 he was still on my bumper after a few friendly taps of the tail lights he was 3 feet from my bumper . I hit the brakes so hard he almost flew through his windshield LMAO he was pissed and I was friggin laughing my head off but I must say he stopped tailgating problem solved .

 

Be a total a$$ and slow down and then speed up when they pass

 

.......empty the magazine!

 

I was just about to start a thread about road rage when I stumbled across this thread

^I usually do this or just slow down depending on my anger level.

Yesterday, I was on my way home from dinner at my in-law's. I was driving my wifes CRV with my wife and 2 young children. Around a bend comes this little punk POS in a Geo Metro. Speeding, this waste of life nearly caught air over a small hump, started swerving head-on towards my family and I. I slowed and headed onto the shoulder to avoid the impending doom of a violent collision. He regained control and continued on without so much as a glance in my direction.

At the very moment I saw this a-hole nearly lose control, I got multiple vivid images of this car rolling over into our vehicle and killing me, my wife, my kids or any combination of. Instantly, I am taken over by a rage that scared even me. My knuckles turned white, veins popped out in my head, my eyes turned red. I could tell my wife new I was experiencing a whole new level of anger. She left me be as I drove home without speaking a word.

Although she knew I was mad, she had no idea of the violent thoughts that flooded my mind after the images of tragedy had cleared. I wanted, in the worst way, to follow this kid to his destination and put the fear of god into him.....with my fists. I wanted to rip him through his window and pummel him until I don't know what. It was bad. Very bad.

That being said. Who thinks I need therapy?

 

Geez..... i don't know, i think maybe some of us would react the same way, its not the same when an a-hole put your life in danger.... but when it comes to family... thats a different story....

 

you need no therapy, my brotha!!! im about the same way!!

this weekend,while visiting my mom and grandpa........this jackass comes down the road(35mph city road) and i guarantee you he was running every bit of 75 or 80 when he went by..............all while kids play along that street all the time......not normally a busy road. the neighbors kid was playing in the yard.........oh what i would have done to that punk if he had lost control and came into the yard and hit that kid!!! i cant stand true jackholes!!!!

 

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. I almost get killed at work all the time by jackasses on the roadways. It makes me mad, puts me in a bad mood, but does not generally impregnate my mind with murderous thoughts. That kid just made me snap, mentally and emotionally. I don't want anyone to think I'm a psychopath, but like ridgerunner said, TW and it's members are like therapy for me sometimes. For that, I thank you.

 

Toy-you have that much love for your family. You don't need therapy you need to be respected as one who saw his world flash before his eyes caused by some prick who NEVER deserves to share the road with you! When you read my first post you see that my feelings about my wife were the same.

 

I appreciate your support and understanding. Ridgerunner, I'm sorry I stole your thread.

 

You didn't steal nothing you enhanced it I'm sorry you encountered that

 

hey bro.....i think most everyone on here would feel the same way if family was involved/ or could have been involved. some people, put plainly, have no business whatsoever being on the road....much less having a drivers license!! we're all with ya here......definitely!!!

 

Now that it's off my chest, I can put it behind me. My wife wouldn't have understood the kind of thoughts I was experiencing.

 

Definately let it go...she would understand-she just don't wanna see it in her Man know what I mean? Those feelings of rage are what a man gets when somebody violates his sacred space so coldly takes big knards to let the feelings go

 

Further antagonizing someone who has already displayed their total lack of concern for you or your familys safty?? My .02, Is there shoulder room? side streets to turn off? up ahead passing lane? get there. If all else failes, roll down your windows(for smoke) & have your wife put a L.A.W through his radator. Total kidding.

 

[My .02, Is there shoulder room? side streets to turn off? up ahead passing lane? get there. ............................he said he slowed down and pulled over-he did the right thing. If he didn't it could've been way worse.

 

Read that part after post.( Slow typeing.) Agreed,did the right thing. I hadn't looked at the date this thread was started,Didn't see there was even a second page. Felt pretty foolish seeing that after I'd posted.

 

In the old days I would slam on the brakes. Today...I would tap the brake to get his attention. If that didn't workt then I would take my foot off the accelerator and make the moron go around me.
