Hates?

[dave2u]

I think tailgaters should be hung over a boiling pool of cat p*ss by there eyelids.Or those infuriating f****** who f**k up and then have the cheek to beep you and scream abuse at you like YOU`ve done something wrong
AAAARRRGGgghu743huey23r7eyr2393802£^R^.. OW!!!
Do you ever chase anyone like that who`s dis`d ya?
I have to admit i`ve been all over a couple of cars who`s done that type of thing. And then the red mist lifts and you think "OOPS" and chill out again.
C`mon this is the place for it!
SPILL SPILL SPILL SPILL!
C`mon get it off your chest lets hear your stories...

[whateverjames]

i hate tailgaters. when i get tailgated, instead of doing what i used to do, by downshifting 2 gears and taking off, and thinking 'yeah, i showed them', now i just slow down even more, put on a blinker, never turn, then when they do a lane switch to pass, i slowly speed up to the car up ahead so they're still blocked in behind me. i then stay with the car for a little while, then i turn off the ol' blinker, give it a little gas like i'm going to take off, then the tailgater that's now tailgating the person in the next lane sees an opening so they floor it and get behind me in my lane thinking they're going to go somewhere finally. but then i just slow down again, so slow that the person next to me is now passing me. repeat those steps over and over, and if they finally do pass you when you have to turn or whatever, act like you're talking on the cell phone, or take the cellphone, hold it like a microphone and act like you're singing. gets em every time. or if they give you the finger and say fuck you, just smile real big and wave. my friend does the same thing, he's learned well. also my strobe lights in the backups can get annoying to tailgaters.

[Jeff240sx]

Thats funny, I do the same thing.  I speed up so they are boxed in, and do the whole turn signal thing too.  Only when they go by, I am sure to flip them the bird!

I'm with you guys man.  I'm convinced that nobody know how to drive!  I hate tailgaters, and I hate it when people drve 10 to 15miles under thespeed limit in the #### passing lane too.  And OLD PEOPLE, them F**kers just don't know how to drive.  As for chasing people down, I have been know to do that.  I almost beat the living crap out of some guy in minivan in clearwater because I stopped at a red light, and he wanted to run it so he laid on the horn.  There was a policeman next to us.  I figure maybe that would cuse the guy to stp bt no!  So i gave him the finger, and he laid on the horn.  So when the light changed I moved over, and let him pass me.  It was some skinny ass bitch punk so I decided to follow the bitch.  He pulled off, so I followed he pulled in to a parking lot so I followed, and parked behind him.  I got out of the car, and waited for a while he never got out of his van.  I'm not a big guy or anything.  But i would have wrecked his shit. I just sat on the hood waiting for him to come out, and say something.  Afterward I thought #### if I would have hit him I probably would have got in trouble!  Oh well!  That's just one of the countless stories that have I've been a part off.  Nice to see that it's not jut Floridians that drive like idiots!

[transient]

Huh... that's going a bit over what I would do...

I agree though, that people can be real arseholes driving... Especially up here in Maine during tourist season. We get a lot of people that have no Idea what the roads are like and ALWAYS have someone going strait from the right hand only lane and almost hitting you...

As far as tailgaters are concerned... most of the time I find that they do it at night, and that's REALLY annoying. I usually slow down and pull over a bit for them to pass me, then Gas it and follow behind them and flash the high beams a few times to let them know they fucked up. There's no reason for people to tailgate like that. It's not like I'm going slow either. I'm usually 5-10 over the speed limit on rural roads.

[lunatik]

Well later I realized that I went over the line but at the time I was so pissed all I could think of was kicking this guys ass, He laid on the horn the whole time we were at the light for like a minute.  The light was red when I got there so I that pissed me off worse.  It was definately the wrong thing to do but he kept on the horn even after we started going.  I was really annoying!

[transient]

Yeah, I definatley know how that feels.

[Fuzzy Ewok]

If this offends anyone here, I'm truly sorry...

What I can't stand is people who drive cars with really aggressive body kits that can't back up their shit. I mean, if you have a car that looks fast, it #### well better go fast or I'm going to be pissed. Maybe it's just me, but I hate seeing tricked out cars that look to be able to do 195 mph only to see they can't even keep up with a stock 240sx. When I find one of those I have to really resist the urge to drive them off the road, drag them out of their car, slap the shit out of them, and then take them to see a few of my friends for a show of what a real car should be. hehe Ok, there's my rant. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[gt7152b]

I could care less about tailgaters as long as they don't rear end me which has never happened. What pisses me off are those assholes that ride real slow in the passing lane and make you have to pass on the right. In the Dallas area, you just expect people to cruise in the left lane, so you stay to the right if you are driving fast. It just sucks for those people trying to merge on to the highway. That brings me to another pet peeve: drivers in front of you on the on ramp that don't match the speed of the traffic on the highway. It seems like they always merge into traffic fine but leave me fighting to get over because the faster traffic on the highway piles up behind them.

I don't get too pissed at other drivers unless they cut me off badly (especially when it's not necessary). I'll retaliate by getting around them and cutting them off.

The driving test should be much, much more difficult to pass.

I don't think that's the problem, because at least here it's not easy to pass, it's just that if you take it a certain number of times, you do anyway, u know? I think they should just get people that really care who they're passing and failing. That's the problem. The people are too much about the technical things, and not how well you handle yourself on the road, how courteous you are, etc.

[whateverjames]

never done that. but just by having a manual, having it in 3rd gear while the person behind you is coming up quick and about to ride your bumper, just let off the gas <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> that third gear will wind down quickly like automatic normal car slightly using the brakes. when THEY hit the brakes, punch the gas and shift into fourth. that's one of my favorites. but i've had the urge to slam into someone's car, even with my 240sx. i'll never do it though.

ah. i hate it when people do that. my friend went on vacation in florida. he said in some intersections it was no big deal for 4 or 5 cars to run a red light, and that's not counting the yellow light runners. he also said he was driving a rental car on the highway, doing 5 over the speed limit in the slow lane, and people were honking, then a cop nearly ran him off the road. hehe

[lunatik]

Some other people who have experience the wonders of Florida drivers. &nbsp;No Offense but South Florida Drivers are the worst. &nbsp;My friend from miami tells me that in South FL red lights are optional, and sign ar just for decoration. &nbsp;All I could do was laugh, because that's exactly what i seemed like when I was down there. &nbsp;

[Grant]

yeah I hate tailgaters, but i do it sometimes too, only to people that are going 20mph slower than everyone else on the freeway. but if they do that to me, I just let em pass and tail them with my high beam for a while,, but #### the 240sx High beams are frikking bright. &nbsp;My friend has a switch wired to his reverse lights. heheh, which is also another good idea.

[J300z28]

Atlanta drivers sucks. I was in a backed up line at a red light yesterday in Atlanta and this lady is trying to leave a Wendy's parking lot. She was trying to fit between my rear and the person behind me. There wasn't enough room, so she starts honking at me to move up. I couldn't move up. I was already an inch away from the guy in front of me. I look back and she is now giving me the finger. And for what I say, because she is retarded and can't wait a minute for the light to change so that I will be able to move up. People piss me off, everybody just needs to claim the f*ck down.

S'much as i hate tailgaters i try to remain calm. &nbsp;No telling what might happen if you lose your cool. &nbsp;A lady here got pumped with 2 bullets for giving a guy the bird.

Careful....its a whole new world out there!

[gt7152b]

I'll take Atlanta drivers over Dallas drivers any day. At least they know that they should go fast or get out of the way. http://www.tardsite.com is all about driving in Atlanta.

I hate the 98% of mustang drvers that cut ppl off and drive fast just BECAUSE they got a stock mustang

just my 0.02$

[Jeff240sx]

Ok, I live not too far from Miami. &nbsp;It's great. &nbsp;On I-95, the speed limit is 65 mph. &nbsp;I was goin 95mph in the middle lane, and a cop blew by me at at LEAST 105. &nbsp;It was crazy. &nbsp;Then some guy was right behind him goin 105 too. &nbsp;
Also, they saying in South Florida, is &quot;Stop signs with white borders are optional.&quot;

Wow, I'm glad I live away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I've drivin in Miami, sister went to school there, and everything you guys say is true. I just hope my sister gets over it before coming back up to Reno for clinicals <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> Tailgating is a pain in the ass, but not as bad as most cell phone drivers. Very few people have the intelligence to yak and drive at the same time, throw some chewing gum or a soda in there and you've got BIG problems. They just don't pay enough attention to driving. I have a cell myself, and avoid talking in the car whenever possible 'cause I find whenever I do I can't recall the landscape I just passed - not good <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>.

I just hate people who always talk a lot of sh*t when they really know nothing about cars...there is this guy where I work who SWEARS that Supra's and 3000GT's were only single turbos...oh yeah, he also swears up and down that on the Toyota site you can special order a new Celica with a turbocharger...lastly, this all-knowing car guru drives a Mitsubishi truck and claims to have a 280HP turbocharged inline 6 engine under the hood but won't let me see it...ARGHHH now i gotta print out info on the 3000GT, and Supra and prove to him he's WRONG, lol

(Edited by dragon240sx at 3:29 pm on Aug. 17, 2001)

Best response to someone riding your ass: lightly step on the brakes and see if they're getting off. If not, then step just a bit harder. If that person's a real idiot, you'll soon have a brand-new rear bumper, or lots of extra cash to buy a body kit with. (Yeah, I know it's not nearly as safe as just irritating the &nbsp;person by driving speed limit next to the person in the other lane, but some people need to get scared in order to get off your @$$.)

um the last time my dad did that the ricer behind spun out in his integra and hit the center divider

Poor integra. I'm sure the guy won't tailgate anyone for a while.

[dave2u]

I was coming home one day and had just left a major roundabout in rushhour. We all inevitably clogged up the road we`d just entered as we waited at the lights in a long jam.Then the wife and i sat jaw dropped as the guy 2 cars in front got out and approached the car behind him (i.e The car in front of us) and screamed abuse at him about what had just happened at the roundabout.Then he went back to his car as the old grumpy fifties guy in front was abusive from his car. Then the guy turns round comes back to the fellas window in a rage and starts strangling him through his window and shaking his head from side to side. I beeped (was ignored) got out and shouted for him to stop (ignored ) and then had to go over and try and calm him down without getting pasted.

[lunatik]

#### dave,
&nbsp; &nbsp; I'm surprised the guy didn't vent out on you too! &nbsp;I went to a University of Connectiut basketball game when I was back home in hartford. &nbsp;4 guys in the car in front of me were acting like idiots. &nbsp;Yelling stuff at the people walking by. &nbsp;Finally the said the wrong thing to the wrong guy. &nbsp;The guy turned around walked over to the car. &nbsp;Then the guys 2 sons, and his brother who were walking infront of him joined in the fun. &nbsp;So each of them grab one of the kids inside the car, and pounded them good. &nbsp;It was really annoying because they held up traffic forever. &nbsp;I couldn't go around them and the 20 cars behind them didn't faze them. &nbsp;Finally the security guard mov the idiots out of the way. &nbsp;It was kind of funny at first but then it just became an inconvenience.

One of my friends was stuck in traffic with his girlfriend on a Sunday about a month ago. There was a very nervous-mad-angry guy behind him who kept honking and screaming, hoping that the cars would move because of his anger?! Anyway, my friend stuck his head out the window, told him to stop honking and that he can't do anything about the traffic. I guess the guy behind him got aggravated at that, got out of his car and took his club out of the car with him. When my friend saw him get out of the car, he closed all his windows except for his sunroof. The guy came up to his car and first smashed the hood with the club. He then stuck his arm (with the club) through my friend's sunroof and started beating on him with this big-ass piece of iron. He first got hit in the head and fell unconscious on his girlfriend's lap, who fortunately didn't get hit at all. People were scared to come up to the idiot because he just kept hitting this kid anywhere he could reach until the police came. My friend was hospitalized for about 2 weeks and had a gazillion fractures in his scull. The guy got a few years in jail for attempted murder.
I kept closing both my windows and my sunroof and locking my doors for about two weeks after that. Definitely not an event to ignore.

[whateverjames]

i hate it when you try to pass someone on the highway, and they try to speed up like they think they can block you in, but it doesn't do them any good. for 212 miles, coming from KC (240sx meet) back to st louis, i pissed off three cars of people, because they were going too slow then i go around them politely and they feel they are being 'shown up' so they downshift and a little race happens. a olds intrigue, chrysler sebring and pontiac sunfire convertable were going at it the whole way. wow what great choices of cars to race a semi modded 240 with a crazy driver. i know my car isn't the fastest but after the first 2 times i beat them in the first 15 minutes of the drive home, how the FUCK do they think they're going to beat me for the rest of the 2 hours and 45 minutes?? i stayed ahead of them and they wouldn't give up the entire time! all because my car is faster than theirs, and they don't like that fact. but in the end, they all got the finger and some unfriendly phrases. ugh, i gotta start driving at night with hardly any people on the road, or get a slower car. road rage is unhealthy.

[mrace240sx]

I used to be pretty bad with road rage, did all the things that you guys have already said about hitting the brakes etc etc to discourage tailgaters. Ive been driving for work now for 7 years and none of it phases me anymore. When people want to merge I let them, if they want to pass I let them.... I just got tired of fighting it everyday.

I do still occasionally downshift on the #### tailgaiters though, if they catch me when I am pissed off, but other than that I get out of peoples way and drive as considerate as I can.

The main thing I hate are people who dont understand the concept of the passing lane. Just because you are driving 10 miles an hour over the speed limit does NOT mean you belong in the passing lane when someone going 30 miles over the speed limit comes along.
GET OUT OF THE WAY FOR THEM!!!!
When someone faster comes along, YOU become the person that the sign &quot;Slower traffic keep right&quot; is refering too!

IMO, I think the stubborn drivers that wont get out of peoples way, try to block them, etc etc are the ones that are causing accidents, not the people who are driving fast. I used to do it too just to piss off the guy driving like an ####### until I messed with the wrong guy one day and he showed me his piece.. scared the shit outa me. But as stated above, it must be an ego thing that people dont like to be passed so if someone driving faster comes along they feel the need to try and slow them down.....grrrrrr. That crap drives me crazy.

---Rant mode off---

Ive got highway driving down to a science at this point in my life, but some people are just completely clueless.

I've probably had more highway driving experience in my scant three years than most others do in twice that, some 50,000 miles going back and forth to Reno, 90 miles a day. Needless to say, mrace hit it right on the nose. You get over that shit, think &quot;####, what was kinda stupid&quot; and move on.

[transient]

I wouldn't personally say I get road rage. Sure I get pissed when someone almost hits me (happens quite often around here during tourist season), but if I'm on the highway and someone passes me it doesn't really tick me off. I mean... if they're drivin a sporty car and look like they wanna have some fun I might play around a bit, but it's not like getting passed bothers me.

What does bother me is when people have their high-beams on and are right on your ass. That's f'n annoying, and it's dangerous because if it hits the mirrors right it could blind you. Situations like that piss me off, but that's someone just being an #######.

[gt7152b]

Careful with cars that try to race you on the highway and then stay just behind you. They may be provoking you into a race to get you to drive faster and bait the state troopers on the road. You get pulled over and they go whizzing by.

Yup, I usually ignore the bastards that ride my bumper. &nbsp;

What I do to really aggressive ones is hit the brakes and heeltoe out very quickly. &nbsp;Scares the crap out of em because for a split second, my car drops back fast. &nbsp;What I don't get is why people tailgate if there's a big ugly slow construction vehicle in front of you! &nbsp;That truck isn't going to go fast and you can't go any faster. &nbsp;What is tailing gonna do? &nbsp;And why would you tail in an area as litigious as mine? &nbsp;Everyone knows that if you ram up my tailpipe, I haven't done anything and you're in deep. &nbsp;Just like S13grl says... new body kit!

On another note, its never the people in sports cars driving fast that bother me. Its the people in the minivans, econo-boxes, or SUV's that are hauling ass that scare me enough to get far far away from them.
It doesnt bother me to see a vette scream by at 100mph, because that car was built to do that, has tires rated for it, has brakes designed to stop at those speeds, has suspension to keep it on the road etc etc.

I just dont understand these people that think their '87 Ford Escort with blown out suspension and pos Wallmart tires can sustain 90mph on the highway. And SUV's and minivans sure as #### werent designed for it and do not come with tires with a high enough heat index rating to sustain it anyway.

People that car illiterate should not be allowed to have a license imo <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Jeff240sx]

I'm kinda for different tests for different speed limits. &nbsp;I have takes a more than a few days in Sebring at a race school, and I feel I am a safer driver at 110 on the highway than the Metro that's passing me. &nbsp;Different color license plates for different speed limits that apply only to you. &nbsp;
This would make a red lane, for grannys, sh!t-boxes, and blind people. &nbsp;Normal speed limit.
Yellow lane, people who have cars designed for the slightly faster speed. &nbsp;Everyone MUST do that lane's speed limit or move to the right, NEVER to the left.
and
A Green lane, for those of us who pass the most extensive license test, and can go 30, 40 over without missing a beat, and cars up to par. &nbsp;
This would allow red plate people to be ticketed for going into the yellow lane and a separate ticket for speeding over the red lane speed limit.
Ahh.. what I would do if I were King.
-Jeff

[gt7152b]

Don't discount a vehicle just because it looks unweildy. I've spent lots of time on the interstate doing 90 to 100mph in my S10 Blazer. It handles very well and I am quite confident about weaving through slower cars at those speeds on an interstate. 90 mph just isn't that fast for most vehicles on an interstate or major highway. It's not like a road racing course or something. Actually, I feel much safer driving it (not because of some delusional myth about safety of SUV's) just because I've had it much longer than my 240 and I've pushed it close to its limits on a regular basis. It's just very predictable for me.

[AmericanBornSilvia]

Heh, if your car is a sleeper, why dont u try to make a full box around his car? &nbsp;Start by letting him pass by, move over two lanes, accelerate, cut him off and end up where you started. Of course thats pretty dangerous, but hey heh I bet you anything he/she will be pretty peeved off. =)

[mrace240sx]

Im not 100% sure on this, but I think the S10 Blazer was built right off the truck platform with no real difference in the suspention. Most trucks have stiffer suspension than SUV's, thats one reason why you dont see trucks flipping over all the time. They put a softer suspension on the SUV's so that they ride more like a car. Ive seen more upside-down SUV's in the middle of SR60 or I75 than I could even begin to count, prolly one a week on avg. And if I had a dollar for every time an SUV almost rear-ended me Id be a rich man.
Have you ever seen a Land Rover swerve to avoid road debris at 90mph? LoL Ive seen one up on 2 wheels before and it had to be dumb luck this guy didnt wreck.

I guess I should clarify, instead of generalizing. Some SUV's are probably Ok at high speeds, but alot of them arent, particularly the more luxury type models. Most all of the American SUV's are built right off a truck platform and have not lost the &quot;utility&quot; in SUV <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> The same cant be said for Lexus and Mercedes, BMW etc etc.
My buddy's Jeep Cherokee, the older style type, is the same way as your S10. Its an SUV with stiff suspension and feels pretty safe even at high speeds.
But I would sure hate to have to make a hasty stop, or a quick swerve to avoid hitting something in most SUV's.

[gt7152b]

I've got aftermarket shocks but even the stock shocks were pretty stiff. The ride is by no means comfortable, meaning soft. My definition of comfortable is something that won't roll the body excessively during a hard corner. I could care less about bouncing over pot holes. I'm still at stock height because I like to offroad some but the tires will break loose before the body rolls much.

[lunatik]

Yeah GT sticking up for the s10!
&nbsp; &nbsp;I too have an s10, I had it since HS. &nbsp;Man I love it. &nbsp;I definately drive faster in the blazer than the s10. &nbsp;I lowered it 3 inches, and put low pros on it, and it handles ok for a truck. &nbsp;I took it some of my to new orleans for mardi gras, I Doubt I going less than 95 the whole back. &nbsp;That 4.3 is really nice. &nbsp;It depends more on the driver than his car!

S10's are pretty good trucks. Cheap, easy to work on, reliable, decent power. Sorry, I didn't mean to turn this thread into a defense of SUV's. I just get tired of people ragging on them. People talk about how inferior the technology is and how easy they roll over but mine has been great to me.

hehe, funny story. i was coming back one night after partying with my friends. i got off the freeway and was heading towards an intersection. my light turned green, so i rolled through, but this dumbfuck in a '99 Grand cherokee cut me off. it was soooo whack, i almost hit a parked prelude while swerving out of the way. anyway, i got on his ass, chirped him a couple of times, threw the high beams, and passed him. at the next intersection, i was supposed to go straight, but i came to a stop, waited for him, and then turned right from the middle of the intersection. i followed him down the hill when he turned on some orange lights that were on his hatch. i got fuckin scared, cause they looked a lot like undercover cop lights, blinking really fast and shit. no problem though. i fell back, then i threw up my 20 dollar magnetic strobe &quot;cop&quot; light from fry's, came with sirens and flashers ablazing, and pulled his ass to the side of the road. yes, revenge is a dish best served cold. hehe.

where do i get these lights? &nbsp; &nbsp; since this is the hate section, i'll tell you something i hate. &nbsp;when i lose the controllers to my entertainment center, and when i'm doing laundry, i forget to wash some clothes i left them in a different room, or i drop some stuff on the way to the washer. aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

im sorry if i curse a little but this pissed me off so much! &nbsp;im drivin on my way home and im passing an intersection and this BITCH in her friggin accord jumps out in front of me when theres like 150ft between us. now i dont mind them doing that that much its that she didnt even have enough room for her car to be in the median away from traffic so i honk. &nbsp;AND SHE STARTS TELLING ME OFF! &nbsp;mean while im breaking so i wont hit her. &nbsp;but i said fuck it and then i accelerate (and she could hear it) so she guns it (or tries to) and clears the intersection into the shopping plaza. &nbsp;then drivin home from school im passing in fron of the school and this little freshman jumps in my lane and starts waving at me to hit her. &nbsp;so i take her up to the challenge downshift and floor it. &nbsp;she littarily takes a shit and darts for the curb eatin it. &nbsp;she made her self look like and idiot trying to be a badass. &nbsp;so i flicked her off and told her to fuck off when i passed her. &nbsp;there got that out of my system. &nbsp;ok im better now

I hate it when your on the motorway and you see cars going along in the middle or fast lane when there`s almost no-one about. On 2 occasions i swear i`ve been tearing along and i can see 1/3 mile ahead a car in slow lane pull into the middle lane as if its overtaking but there`s no car there but him! &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>
Whats that about???

easy system to get rid of people behind you. &nbsp;
1. Open sun roof - venting WONT work
2. Remove pennies from where ever you keep them - mine are in the ash tray
3. violently chuck them up through the roof one at a time - this will make them hit the car behind you
4. repeat as necessary

this will work trust me people are like what the f*** and move over or slow down

[BlankFlip]

i know i'd be pissed at that, especially if it dented my car at all.

[gh6o6]

yeah thats why its saved for real assholes

i got another hate:
TAILGATERS! &nbsp;what the crap is theyre problem? &nbsp;just pass me #######. &nbsp;i was driving at night like 11 and its raining...hard...so im doing like what 60 in a 65. &nbsp;my tires were baldiing so i wasnt gonna take a chance. &nbsp;then i see this toyota pickup pull up behind me and hes like 2 fuckin inches from my bumber. &nbsp;he flashes his high beams and honks and i just stay put cause i dont have any respect for tailgaters. &nbsp;before i have a chance to brake he passes me and im lucky i was already braking cause if i hadent when he passed me he was so close to hitting my right front bumper that if i kept my speed i would have gone spinning. &nbsp;STUPID FUCK! god i hate them. &nbsp;sorry agin bout the cursing

[Tuck&Poke]

oh and mrace240 its not that pickups have stiffer springs its that the back end is lighter cause it doesnt have the exrtra wheight from the roof and everything that the suv has. &nbsp;plus its a much shorter wheelbase and a helluva lot lighter than the suv. &nbsp;
