I was behind a big pickup yesterday on the loop in Lufkin. He was tooling along at 50 mph in a 55 zone, in the left lane. As soon as traffic in the right lane cleared, I passed him doing about 60 mph. I saw he wasn't falling behind very quickly so I sped up a little bit more (I was going to have to move back to the left lane to allow merging traffic in). I got up to 80 mph and this guy was still not falling behind so I eased off. He blew past me probably doing 90 mph...in a 55...for no apparent reason except that he maybe didn't think I should have passed him?

I am really, really, really starting to dislike redneck big truck drivers. What the problem is?

He probably saw your license plate and thought "I'm going to teach this rich guy and his fancy sports car a lesson" and proceeded to screw with you.

Send a craigslist hooker to his place.

A big angry one.

You should've seen what I saw the other day. There was a guy on a bicycle cruising along in the right lane. Some tool in a superduty proceeded to go around him and slowed up a bit right in front of him and then floored it, pouring black diesel smoke out right on the guy.

Explain to me what kind of person would do that.

I like the phone number deal. Did something similar on another forum... It got pretty hilarious. If course these were all adults that performed these pranks

A little OT but one time this car had "Free Puppies 214-555-5555" sitting next to me at a light.

I then called the number while we were sitting next to him and said, "Hey did your car said Free Pussy? How do I get involved?"

You really want to get revenge on this guy? Don't do anything. Just go about your life like nothing happened and be happy. Sounds like a pretty good plan.
agreed

Personally i'll never understand how it seems EVERY DRIVER in North Texas has to merge at 40mph and the suddenly decide they need to hit 80...

So they slow me down (cause i'm not hitting the idiot) and then they find that the gas pedal IS on the right???

Confused... lol

There is definitely something about this car that drives pickup drivers ****ing insane.

That is, until I went FI
