People hate my car

Post by THAWA »

I've come to that conclusion.

First weekend I had the car I get into a hit n run, but some asshat in a camaro. Nearly weekly I get cut off, not where someone is coming up fast, and they just dart in front. I mean someone is riding in front of me, and as soon as I get somewhere near enough to pass them they go right into my lane. that esp ticks me off when their lane is completely open. Couple of months back I had some fucktard in a nova screwing with me. We were both coming down this real long sweeping turn I ALWAYS drive down everyday. He was going to slow so I change lanes and and steadily accellerating through the whole turn. Meanwhile he's been slowed down. He finally gets straight andI've already gone back into my lane stopped at the stoplight. He zooms up all crazy and tries to hit me, while swerving into the next lane. light turns he takes off, trying to egg me on. Bout a mile down the road, he's swerving like he's trying to hit me. Just yesterday, some buttwipe from new york in a celica was in front of me with another car next to him, we were driving down that same turn, he was going pretty fgast. I coudl tell he saw me coming up. he kept accellerating and so did I to get to my normal speed in this turn. There's more turns after this and I can go even faster so I did he keeps going. I get to the point where I'm going to pass him, and he hits the brakes I assume we went down quite a bit in speed. But I couldnt get around him since the other car was right next to him. When i finally get around him he's staring at me like WTF. Some ass in a big truck was trying to merge, with me at his rear quarter panel. I only know cause he had those blinkers in the mirror, so I sped up to allow him to get behind me. and I hear him yell ASSHOLE! And if you didn't know my co-worker backed into my car witha customer's truck. There's more shit I could cite but I think you get the point. everyone hates my car. I'm getting sick of it. It looks like a beater because of people not caring. Why is she cursed like this?

I could tell you how to spin a car for next time if you want. I had to hold myself back from an epic battle with an idiot in a Mountaineer. This guy thought he was crazy, but learned that night that there's always a bigger dog. I won't get into details but as the thoughts and movements of my car were in position to put him into the trees lining the road at high speed I thought of Bubba and how happy he would be to see me.

As a semi-related subject (self protection in the land of the leviathans), did anyone else know that Beaver Run has a course teaching evasive driving techniques with an armed assault as well as skid control? You even get to ram a car barrier, which I know how to do, but have never had the good fortune to need to do. $750 and all I need is a job ...

Going 80mph, a woman in a Grand Prix tried to merge into me, forcing me partway into the median, nearly hitting a sign as I swerved back onto the road, almost clipping an F150.

I regain control, and SHE has the audacity to look at me like it was MY fault.

I was on a windy country road one night going around 50 or so and this... person comes up on my ass. We did a little rollercoastering around and finally I gunned it into a sharp-ass turn. His headlights disappeared suddenly and I never went back to check. The next day I was at the spot and I saw some skid marks but no glass or anything so I deduced he must have lost it :) . Hey, I was minding my own business until then so whatever happened was their own fault.

three times yesterday I got blocked off so that I couldn't merge into the next lane.

The first time I was going faster than traffic and then slowed down to merge into a lane. I wans't being a jerk, the other lane was just a little slower, and some guy speeds up so that I have to get behind him.

The next was on the freeway. I have my blinker on and am about to turn from a bumper to bumper lane to an exit lane that I wanted. THere is plenty of room, and I was about to jump for it, but I see the car behind me, in the lane I was going for, speeding up. I stop just in time to let them pass me.

The third time yesterday was on a regular road were two lanes become one. I was going with traffic and my lane was jumping inbetween every other other car in the next lane, normal. Well, the car i was aboutto jump in front of, I was fully infront of, but she decides she doens't want me in front, so she floors it and passes me, forcing me in m lane till the last minute.

I just had to sigh and let it go. Normally I wouldhave just pulled into the lane and made her slow down, but I wasn't feeling very aggressive yesterday.
