I hate to be mean but...

I was driving through a town the other day on my way home from Christmas vacation, and as I was pulling up to this stoplight, a little Dodge Neon decided that he wanted to get in front of my bumper...so he did with only about 5 ft between me and him and the light happened to turn red. So he slammed on the brakes, and I locked mine up narrowly missing him, and the cement truck beside me. at the next stoplight, I ended up pulling up next to him, and noticed his window was down so I pulled up a little further, and as the light turned green, I stomped on the pedal and left him with ringing ears and a diesel aftershave. Was this too mean?

I dont see harm in what you did. Road Rage: When intense anger mixes with driving. haha. The one thing that I hhhaaatttteeee most on the road is when people tailgate. You dont know how mad that makes me! You know they are close when all you see is the top of their car in the rearview mirror. I lock it up, slow down, and then throw it down, and give them a good fogging. It always takes care of the problem...

Been there, done that. The last time I did it the lady followed me about 15 miles, but stayed about 8 car lengths back . Every time I looked in the mirror I smiled, remembering that black cloud that enveloped her car as I took off.

Smoke 'em if you can.......

Still amazes me that people think my 3 1/2 ton truck can stop on a dime.

Hopefully that idiot will learn, but I doubt it.
