I don't think there is a race that has one level of class. The good and bad exists in all of us. No one is perfect. You just hate people when you are mad. Anger management skills is all we need.

Wow, that was amazing; thanks Dr. Phil. I'm going to subscribe to Home & Garden's and start watching a lot of TLC's self improvement shows.

I've gotten quite a few fingers in this state, and it's usually from someone driving 35 in a 50 MPH zone as I blow by. Drivers in this state are the worst that I've ever run across.

That said, just be glad you're not the guy in the Ford!

Turbomatic · 08-09-2008, 11:51 PM

If you think about it, the guy's life is so miserable he is flipping the bird to random cars on the road, there should be nothing for you to get upset about.

Be thankful you have a nice enough life to drive a decent car and not be so angry all the time as to cuss at and flip the bird to random passerbys.

Yep, but insulting people just because your own life sucks still calls for an attitude adjustment. Wasn't me today but hopefully someone else tomorrow.

Thing is, there are thousands of bimmers in this town so it's not like I was in bumfuck Alabama, in their "habitat" (love it), when this happened...

Gotta love it! A guy in Spartanburg S.C. ragging on Alabama.

All windows open, paint chipped off, rust everywhere, hair flying around in the drivers seat. As I was pulling next to the car, the guy, who looked like Willie Nelson with a bad hair day, stuck his tatoo-covered arm out the window and gave me the middle finger, yelling some inaudible choice words at me, complementing the finger gesture. I was like "huh?", shrugging my shoulders and shaking my head in disbelief. As I was past, he was still running his mouth with his hand out the window.

I just kept going, knowing I should not sink to his level and endanger the three young children in my back seat in any way, but of course my blood was boiling at that point and I was thinking what I might have done under different circumstances.

Anyway, just wondering if you guys have had similar experiences because this was surely a first for me, but then again I have only been driving my bimmer for two weeks, so do I have more road rage ahead of me or what???

Makes me wanna stash a sawed-off baseball bat under the seat, just in case!

why was ur blood boiling? he's in a rusty bronco and ur in a bmw u shouldnt expect him to be happy with that situation

I know it's probably not the most mature thing to do, but I get that all the time, and I'm done being the nice guy with these idiots. Like its my fault you live in the ghetto, drive a piece of shit vehicle, have no money, etc. Rednecks

Hahaha, this one guy flashed me because I passed him going about 60 in a 45 zone at about 1:00AM. He was the only other car on the road. My friend was with me, and I was pissed before the guy flashed me due to other circumstances (car wasn't working properly). Anyways, I slammed on my brakes and as soon as the road opened up into a two-laner, I got in the right and was goin about 25 waiting for him to take the left. He stuck behind me and then eventually started heading around me. I started matching his speed and made wtf gestures at him trying to get his attention. No go. Damn Chrysler 300 driver.

^ Ah, the ever-present Road Rage.

Not to be confused with Roid Rage. But damn near the same symptoms.

John 070 · 08-10-2008, 07:34 AM

It's interesting how one simple incident occurs, and from the limited facts, so many conclusions are drawn. imho nobody pays attention to E92's, at least that's my experience. How else to put it, nobody cares. A lady at my gym parks her 335 (most likely leased) crooked and in the smack dab of everyone, also has some nasty dings. Does she have dings because people hate her? No, it's the way she parks.

Our society has become numb to material trappings, as they are so easy to obtain (just depends on what type of disadvantageous terms the receiver of the goods is willing to agree to). It's the nothing down, no payments until 2013 syndrome.

carrabassett786 · 08-10-2008, 09:57 AM

the most priceless: I unlocked my car (has the alarm)
some hick started miming the "beep beep" until his girlfriend elbowed him in the stomach.
then he tried to race me in his s-10

02fireman · 08-10-2008, 12:42 PM

you guys have it all wrong!!!!!
It's because you had A/C and that rusty ford didn't!!!

DSe93 · 08-10-2008, 04:45 PM

the other day some dumbass redneck-looking whiteboy in his piece of shit broken down pickup stuck his finger out and yelled shit as he drove by while i was waiting at the light to turn left... random out of nowhere, wtf..

My exact sentiments. The truck driver probably has had a difficult life and is an unhappy person. He obviously is not in the financial position to drive a nicer vehicle. Don't take it personally.

Thanks, Mike.

Oh, so whenever I am having a bad day I can just come up to you, stick my middle finger in your face and call you a mofo, and you're not gonna be pissed? Who are you, Jesus?

Come on, any asshole insulting another human being without any reason has it coming, big time.
