I had some fun last night.

[nonstop]

I was driving home last night, when a car pulls right up behind me, I can't even see his lights he's that close, so I said to myself, self, game on.

 

I continued on, until I reached a light and once again, he sticks himself right behind me, all I can see out my left side mirror is his side/tail lights.

 

Light turns green, and its time to teach this punk a lesson.  I launch myself through the intersection, and pretty much leave him still in the intersection.

 

I keep driving at the posted limit, and a couple of minutes later, d@mn this guy is back, right up behind me again. This guy just wants more. So I see another intersection coming up, and decide that its time to leave this guy.

 

This intersection leads to an old two lane highway, so I can get some speed up, as to put some space between me and this clown, again I launch myself out of the intersection leaving this guy behind. ( I was having quite a bite of fun by now). Anyways, I'm on the highway free and clear of the tailgater, or so I thought, I catch his lights in my rearview, and as before he pulls right up again. I'm thinking holy crap this guy just can't get enough. Alright if he wants more, I'll give him more, why not this is fun.

 

I know there's a hill coming up with a passing lane, so I figure I'll let him get real close, and let him take the passing lane, and then that's when I'll open it up and let him taste some Vortec excuast.

 

Alright he's right behind me, two lane passing lane about a mile away, getting closer, almost there. starting to go up the hill I see him going for the left lane (Oh boys this is going to be funn) I stomp on it, he stomps on it, were about a 3rd of the way up the hill and I can't believe he's gaining, coming alongside, and holy crap he blows right by me, that's when to my surprise. I see from my head lights he's driving a late model Corvette.

 

Well, I imedttately let off the gas, cause this is a wasted cause.

Man that thing rocketed by me like I was standing still.

 

Needles to say my funn was over and his had just begun.

 

He reached the top of the hill and slowed down, probably wanting  to smear egg all over me again, but I saw no need to try and race my big o'le heavy truck, against a rocketship corvette.

 

I was very humbled, as I watched that vette blast by, as well as very impressed..

 

Just thought I'd share.

That's nice you have such a good attitude about it.

I HATE tailgaters.

Every time someone rides my truck's ass, I have to give 'em a piece of their own medicine.

Last time there was some POS Ford Ranger so close it was almost up my tailpipe.  I moved over to let the jackass pass, and as soon as he was in front of me, I turned the tables and tailgated him, my big ol truck barrelling down on the little Ranger.

The guy then pulled over to the right lane and slowed down.  I pulled over to the right eventually, and he stayed about 10 car lengths behind me the whole time.  HAH!

What I have done before when I'm running late is aggrevated someone on purpose that I know will beat me just so they can get out front and run "blocker". Sometimes all you have to do is act like you are going to pass someone who is already hauling A$$. No tailgating though. Thats asking for it and if something should happen it will be your ticket.

Now I have to tell this story!...

 

Last night some buds and me went out for dinner and a beer.  When we parted ways, I left first, but got caught by a light and 2 of my buds pulled up beside me(We refer to him as Beane, his last name, He is a motorcycle cop).  The light turns green and we both pull off (I was in the right lane).BTW, his truck is the one on the left in my Avatar.

 

Well, about 75 FEET on the other side of the intersection, an Expedition pulls out of a gas station on the right (my side).  He was really dragging a$$.  First he was in my lane, then my buds lane, then straddling the line taking both lanes.  He finally ended up in my buds lane.  I passed the Expedition.  Beane pulled in behind me, passed the Expedition and got back in the left lane.  We both got caught by the next light (Expedition now behind Beane).

 

We are sittng at the light talking (me laughing, him pissed).  The light turns green and he tells me...watch this...

 

He just sits there, then finally pulls off...at 5 mph!!! He accelerated to about 15 mph (in a 40 mph zone) and continued for about a mile.  He said he could see the Expedition driver cussing in his rear view mirror.  We met up again at a local gas station a couple of miles down the road to laugh about it.

When someone tails me, I usually just hit the brakes. It's their front end and their ticket.

At least you were beat by a fellow bowtie and a Vette at that. Make no mistake about it, my truck will run with some big dogs, but when it comes to Vettes I am not ready for prime time.
