Little white car tailgating me

Today I was following dad home and we were going a reasonable speed and I looked in my mirror and all I could see was the top of a little white car. Well he stayed on my butt for a while and then I wanted to have some fun. I slowed even more and he got even closer. I went around a curve and let it slow a little more and then mashed it to the floor. I blew black smoke all over him and then he backed off. I got a good laugh out of it

we went to a big public function Sunday,

and there was a bunch'o'necks out there, playing with thier silly gassser's

so i PowerBraked it right up, blowing coal & dirt everywhere.

this stupid Ferd Exploder was way back there, and come screaming up on my tailgate, while i was doing this, and got mad AT ME for spraying him down!!

then he tailgated me all the way out, and flipped the wife off!!

it was so funny, i kept slowing till he would get so close i could not see his headlites, then i would stomp it & spray dirt all over him again.

he fell for that 4 times, DUH!!

Recently I have seen cars wheel up behind me so close that I cannot even see the roof. Yesterday we pulled my wifes' car up behind me to see just how close it was for it to disappear. Less then one foot from the bumper!
Those kinds of tailgaters will encounter something from now on.
Reverse lights do nothing.

Exhaust brakes also work very well for curing tailgators. There is a road on my commute that's straight and goes from 50mph down to 30mph. I had one of those Scion thingy's close enough that I couldn't see his headlights over my tailgate. When I hit the 30mph zone, I dropped it down into fifth with the PacBrake on and suddenly all I could see was the top 3 or 4 inches of his windshield. Then he backed WAY off. A little closer and he would have replaced his Scion badge on his grill with a Draw-tite weight distribution hitch.

LOL Scotty, the things we get a kick out of! OK- A few years ago we pulled into a fillin' station where my buddy was parked with his mustang convertable(roof down). We had my bro's 2nd gen patriot blue(Weren't they all blue around '97?) CTD. We pulled up beside him on my(passenger & exhaust) side, and I was talking to him. Of course when we were pulling away, my brother got lined up just "right", and let 'er BURP!! Man- even my kids who were young at that age got a kick out of it!

What's funny, is when those little rice-burners tailgate you; (we=7k+lbs them=2,500lbs, hmmm?) then finally get tired of that game and pass. I like to 'reverse roles' once and a while and get real close with my lights on- that gets em thinkin'. I know, I know, not mature or even very safe, but I have my limits!!

I know this is childish and immature and stupid, but its so much fun! I can't wait till I get my toy!!! (From the quotes I've gotten at local dealers, its going to be a LONG wait for me....

Have some fun for me, ok boys?

To be quite honest, I must say I'm guilty of this....I have a little Toyota Corolla, and I do the same thing...what can I say? I like the smell...I love it when (as one person on this thread said) the truck 'burps' all over my car.

Not trying to **** the driver off at all, just love the diesels...so, if you are in Illinois anywhere, and happen to see a little Black Toyota Corolla smack right up to your rear bumper, (or right next to the exhaust with my window open) its probably me. So, don't get all ******, we're among friends.

Some of you guys on here just absolutely kill me, and make me want my truck even more....

Should any of you ever go on vacation, I'll give your truck the extra special TLC that it needs. I'll even do it for FREE!!!

Later...

Erick

Yes my hitch is always in there. It would do some damage if they hit it.

Kinda like a can opener

I've done similar things, but when pedestrians are involved. One day, I was waiting to turn left at an intersection. Two teenagers, the ones with the crotch of their pants below their knees, were crossing. It appeared that they were trying to use the whole light to cross, almost stopping between steps. As soon as they were well into the outside lane, I put the pedal down. The picture in my rearview was pricesless!!! They were standing in the middle of a nice size cloud of soot!! Love it!!
