Default This old guy gives me the finger!!!

I'm on route 208 south bound last night just cruzin
doing 65-70 going with the flow of traffic coming up to
the last exit before it turns into route 4... I'm in the fast lane
coming up a slower car and there is this guy in the slow
lane.... I hang back from the car 2-3 car lengths and wait
for him to move over and so I can pass he does and I
proceed to pass him as I do I'm also passing the guy
in the slow lane ...... as soon as I do ( the guy in the
slow lane I haven't even passed the other car yet )
this guy jumps over to the fast lane speeds up and starts
flashing his lights...on off, on off..etc then leaves his brights
on.... WTF !!! so I move over to the slow lane and slow
down.... I was thinking something was wrong didn't know
what but figured he wanted my attention.... I slow down
and so does he...WTF!!! a few moments go buy and he
proceeds to pass me as he does I look over to see what
he wants and as he drives passed me he gives me the
finger... now I'm thinking WTF!!!! I didn't do any thing so
I speed up again and get next to him... I roll down my window
and ask what the *&*@ .... what did I do ??? he just keeps
giving me the finger and saying FU.... Now I'm pissed and
how I wanted to follow this guy until he pulled over and
give him a piece of my mind ...I didn't figured I would be the
better person and let it go.... plus it probably just get out of
control and I don't feel like going to jail or having a law suit
but WTF!!!! he really pissed me off and I don't even know
what I did ...the only thing I can think of is maybe he thought
my headlights where too bright??? but what the hell why give
me the finger? he was an old guy to ...I thinking he is going to
do that to the wrong person one day..... well anyway it just
really pissed me off so I had to vent to someone...

He probably knows that you are screwing his wife!

Just kidding around. . .some folks are just idiots. Who knows what had him all worked up. Reminds me of when I let a guy with a Lexus get in front of me at the Lincoln Tunnel, he opened his sunroof and gave me a nice big middle finger!

Talk about being confused. I wanted to tear the guy into pieces, but my wife helped control the anger. That was a long tunnel drive, OMG!

Why is it that people seem to get most irate at sports car drivers? I never get this kind of crap in my other vehicles. For some reason, they must think you're an A hole if you're in an S! WTF?
Does anyone else feel this way, or is it just me?

Yes, I find that works best. Quick, easy solutions are my favorite. :-) Do you prefer head shots, or taking out the tires? I find that a shotgun is my preferred weapon since aiming is strictly optional, but it has poor penetrating capability. I've been thinking about buying a double-barreled piece and loading one slug and on shot....

Kidding aside, I find that most of the people that tend to get pissy with me are those that think my HID's are flashing them. If its just a polite flash of their lights to tell me, I just ignore them and move on. But sometimes you'll get the morons that swerve in superclose behind you and hit the beams on full. Depending on my mood, I will sometimes hit the brakes, which always gets their attention, get behind them, and then hit my brights before VTECing off - but that's only when I'm in a bad mood. On good days I just flip them off and leave them with a puff of unburnt fuel (damn stock ECU!).

It takes tremendous self control to ignore the fcuk or even laugh in their face, after all you are driving the "S" and they aren't.

It probably was his misunderstanding. Have you ever had an s behind you? It can look like the you are beaming someone. The lights giggle like a drunk girl's tits at Mardi Gras because of the tight suspension.

anywayz...road rage...It's too easy for anyone to get on the road, and unfortunatly we have to share it with them.

At least you were big enough to let it go. I would have gotten in front of him and slammed on my brakes....and my wife would have hit me and almost started crying and given me the silent treatment...(yes this happens often).
