LOL. I was on the 90 once, I Was going like 65, and they were tailgating the shit out of me, so i speed up to like 75, still tailgating me. i’m like WTF! I Speed up to like 85mph, im zippin by cars, and they are still tailgating the shit out of me, so i do a really loud WTF to myself and change lanes. Turns out it was an ambulance w/ some old guy dying in the back or something :meh: Wouldn’t they atleast use their sirens as a warning thing, wtf! i couldn’t tell because it was night time, it just looked like a van lol. And for tailgaters, integra rear wiper squirters are pretty much usless and never work, i read on honda-tech that some guy bent his so it shot straight back so he could squirt it all over tailgaters if they got too close :mamoru: i wish mine worked ---

Tailgating doesn’t bother me much, just keep on truckin the speed limit… People on cell phones though…I always flip them off when I’m on my bike. Half the time they get the point and hangup, sometimes they keep talking, and rarely they complain ---

> [@Z28pr0jekt](#): > > So doing the legal thing is pretty obnoxious? That doesn’t make much sense How accurate do you think your speedometer is? Going up a hill with your cruise set at “65,” you could be going as slow as 55. What I hate is on the thruway, people who don’t set cruise/don’t know how to keep a steady speed. So many people hug my ass in the right lane, then get in the left lane to pass me and just stay door to door. ---

I can assure you that’s COMPLETELY NOT what you would do. Stop trying to sound tough. And to answer your question, yes…it would be worth it, ESPECIALLY if you were in a work vehicle…because your “company” sure as shit is worth WAYYYYY more than you are, and once my minor injuries heal (since there’s no way you’d be able to steer my car into a tree, i’d prob just swerve off somewhere), i’ll have a nice big bank account compliments of you/your company, and you’ll be unemployed and struggling to ever get another job/license/etc… EDIT: Back on topic, i’d prob have done the same thing…but rather than wave the bird i woulda just waived and given the thumbs up, that pisses people off way more…killin’ 'em with kindness. ---

lol I was in the fast lane on 90 trying to pass an 18 wheeler. There were 5 or so cars in front of me so it was slow going to get by this truck. I look in my rear view and this fat dyke in a hummer comes flying up and rides the shit out of my tailgate. I tap the brakes lightly enough not to slow down but to flash the light real quick. Needless to say she was uber pissed flailing her arms and spitting out her big mac all over. I got a great laugh out of it. I’ll fuck with people depending on my mood. I am usually pretty easy going but I am certainly no angel… ---

go ahead tailgate me…i could use a new bumper/paint job when i “suddenly” see a deer and slam my brakes. Some assbag did this to me like a month ago. Captin thunder pants got right on my bumper and put his highbeams on…little did he know my buddy Chad(member here) was behind him…so i told chad to put his highs on aswell. Then i made sure to slow down to 25 in a 45. Then he followed us around auburn for a few mins. Fuck em period ---

Just so you guys know, you can get an unsafe stop ticket for stabbing your brakes when someone’s tailgating you. Just don’t think it’s a gimme that the tailgater is at fault in that situation. In good old NYS you’ll probably wind up paying for your own new rear bumper. ---
