I was like WTF...

Driving back from New Orleans for my dad's funeral this weekend I was heading north on I-59 to Meridian passing through Pearl River, top down, cruise control at 75.

Well, this green F-150 passes me and I hear a shout through the window, but think nothing of it. His truck's littered with little 9-11 flags. He slows, slightly, and I pass the truck. Then, he speeds up next to me and starts yelling like "wanna fight" and "f-you" and flipping me off. I do my best to ignore him. For a little while he hangs right next to me. Oh yeah, it's a shirtless, shaveless redneck, probably lit up or high. His passenger looked about the same. I'm starting to get worried he's going to throw a beer can or bottle on me; I'm contemplating testing the S2k's 75-0 braking efficiency and flagging down another car to help. Well, nothing else happened except a few more birds from him and he falls back behind me (smart- so I can't get his license) and goes off the next exit. I showed alot of patience... he's lucky one of my psycho Marine Harrier pilot colleagues wasn't with me to rip his head off after he would have said "yeah, I'll fight your dumbass."

I think the Moral of the story is owning an S2000 in Mississippi is hard sometimes.

 

Sorry to hear about your dad. Deepest condolences and best wishes to you and your family.

 

That's pretty scary. Crap like that always makes me think of the end of "Easy Rider".

 

I know what you mean, because I am a Jackson, MS owner, and have had similar things like this happen to me. By the way, where did you buy your S2000? I bought mine at Rick Justice Honda in meridian.

Nobody needs that sort of crap considering your circumstances on that day.
You did the best thing.

 

You showed a lot of smarts and restraint, considering where you were coming from.

Sorry to hear about your Dad.

Yeah, it's funny, tough, cause everyone is fairly civil up here in Meridian; probably due to the military influence.

Anyway, I also got mine at Rick Justice.

 

I don't think S2000 has to do anything with it. It wouldn't matter if you drove an oldmobile or a bicycle. That f**king redneck would pull the same shit on you. Some people are just plain stupid and f**king crazy.

Sorry hear about your father
