and 10 years later they will give mcdonalds the finger and try to get elevnty billion dollars, but thats another thread all together.
oh btw got another finger earlier because i was in the middle lane on 33 doing 65, and apparently 65 isnt adequate enough for speeding so the guy past me doing proly 75+ and i got a quick finger and the horn. ironically it was a silver mdx
I use to fly the bird a lot, that was years ago.
However, I had flipped one recently. I don’t know what it is, but people drive a lot more stupid whenever I am towing something. Usually it is because I like to keep a good momentum going. Anyways, it was night and I was doing the usuall ~70mph. Ya’ know slow enough to tow responsibly and fast enough to not hold up traffic.
Anyways, I go to pass a guy doing 55 and there was some Ford crossover SUV and a Semi in the fast lane passing him as well. The semi was doing 60 and then pulled back to the right after he completed the pass. The Ford continued in the fast lane @ 60, pacing the tractor trailor and blocking traffic. So I got on their ass so the line behind me could get going. Anyways they sped, showing me up as my 10,000 lb ass slowly climbed back up to 70. Then they hit the brakes. So I was like wtf?
Pulled to the right, floored it up to 80 (this took like 30 secs), pulled along side, turned on my interior lights (night time mind you), layed on the horn, and flipped a bird that was 6" long (even though my fingers are 3" long). And wouldn’t you know it, a woman was driving…
when I drive the 3cylinder saturn I probably get the finger from a lot of people behind me (smoke, fumes, extreme slowness) but I wouldent know since they are behind me
on the other hand when I drive the SHO I seem to get the finger the the following acts.
BOV when next to car
brake boosting followed by wheelspin… on the highway
wheelspin at 80 on the highway in the rain
stopping too fast (i’ve got big brakes and I sure as hell use them)
not slowing for 90 to 400 ramp 75-85mph
passing to quickly
driving under the speed limit
all in all I get flipped off 3-4 drives a day in the SHO. is it the driver or the car you be the judge.
dont give/get it too much. the most popular for me is the people who tailgate me so close i cant evensee thier headlights. i like to keep an eye on thier faces in my rearview, and the second i see that they’re not paying attention, ijab the brakes and watch the look on thier face. 9 times out of 10, the stop tailgating me, then do the fly-by and give me the stare down. this is a daily occurance for me on Millersport between eggert and sheridan as i come home from UB (speed limmit there is 35, but everyone still thinks its ok to do 50).
use it daily, i drive like a tool, i can admit that. Oh and a T-up makes them even more pissed then a bird
