SO I was coming home from school and this yellow protege' or however it is spelled pulls out behind me with all his stickers and crap with MAZDASPEED on the hood and tries to pass me after I had to slow down for some guy turning in front of me so with 2 other guys and the rest of the car full of dirty laundry in my ride I smash the accelerater down and give him a little smoking before he barely gets around me without being taken out by a semi. It was really funny, he had that scared look on his face when his life flashed before his eyes! If i hadn't been weighted down so much, I could have taken him for sure! No more passengers allowed!
-
those mazdaspeed's are pretty potent engines, but still... mileage is crap. damn i hate gassers! 268 hp turbocharged 4 cyl engine... they're definitely quick in the hands of an experienced driver :wink:
-
yeah but this was just a factory protege'. it wasnt a turbocharged one or anything, it just had stickers all over it like it was tough! it was fake mazdaspeed, he seriously had trouble getting around me and i doubt he would with the power you are talking about...maybe he was just playing with me...?
-
so you pretty much just about killed the kid? Am I reading that right?
-
i have the road rage
-
some people should take more care when trying to pass someone... if your car has no balls or not enough balls to make the pass... then don't! obviously his stickers didn't give him that 'edge' :lol: and he should have saw the truck coming and waited for a better time to pass.
damn kids...

hey, I'm a kid! damn me...

I have had morons pass me when there was no way they were ever going to complete the pass in time to get back in to our lane.
Couple options present themselves:
1. Take a breath, call him a ***ing retard :x (windows rolled up), and get on your brakes so he can get back in.
2. *** him, stay on the gas. Which leads directly to options 3, 4, and 5.
3. Get rammed as he whips it back into your lane, causing both of you to crash.
4. Watch him hit a semi head on and kill himself and everyone else in the car, watch as his car comes through the air and hits the minivan behind you and takes out the mom and her kids.
5. Haul ass outta there and hope no one got your plate number, cause if they did, your ass will be going to jail for a long long time.
By the way, my wife drives a minivan. Yep, got three kids in there too....
Can't say I never did stupid *** when I was a kid. Guess I lucked out most of the time.
Guess you and the other driver were both lucky on that day.
Lady luck can be a mean *** when she wants to be.
Take the high road next time. :wink:
End of sermon.

Thanks for the advice, it really wasn't that close but I'll try to let it go next time...

Please do. Accidents happen fast but can last forever

it's all good. sometimes though it takes the better man to realize that it's just not worth it. it's just a matter of time before that kid makes a move he'll regret anyways. or maybe get so close that he learns his lesson. it's like fire or hot things. kids (mostly boys? :lol:) have to touch the fire/element to learn its hot. i wish people didn't have to die to learn that pulling those kind of 'stunts' is dangerous.
btw here in Canada the laws can be pretty lax. if you're drunk and kill a bunch of people you can get off pretty easy.. basically a driving prohibition and some other community based work which is really just a slap on the wrist compared to what the person has done. maybe a probation for a couple of years? woopity doo? down in the states people go to jail for a long time for pulling that kind of *** which is the way it should be here.
here in Durham there is a program where people can send the police a licence plate number and report dangerous driving. i doubt anyone ever does, but if enough complaints etc. the police really step in. personally i would only want to 'scare' a kid rather than see him get charged with anything.. everyone makes mistakes.

I agree, I don't like alcohol. The thing is I don't drink at all but I have a need for speed I guess. I am sure that is the way it is with a lot of people on this forum that want to make their diesel dub go fast. You have to drive to get good at it. Damn those hormones...
-
It's all about where you drive fast. Going balls out on an empty highway is one thing, but residential and busy roads are no place for giving 'er

Fighter pilot mantra "Speed is life" :twisted:
Of course they get to play by a different set of rules.
-
When I do my top speed tests, they are usually when no one else is around and on a smooth road, maybe at night, whenever the opportunity presents itself, im pretty sneaky...

I remember once when I was slow, before my VW Diesel, I was going up a hill. A truck pulled out passing the car behind me, and me, with a corner coming up. A car came around from the other direction, and the truck barely made it in, almost hitting me. Later down the road, I saw him pulled over, so kept my eye out in my rear view. Sure enough, he catches up and tries to pass me on a double yellow again. I cut over and blocked him. He tries it again and I cut over and ran him all the way into the dirt shoulder. He was pissed. I did let him pass when we came to a passing zone. He was trying to get me to pull over, but I wasn't that dumb. I am hoping he learned a lesson, though he probably didn't even remember it was me he almost hit. While it probably isn't right, I will still try to cut someone off who is trying to pass me in an unsafe area as it is much easier for both of us to get back into the correct lane than it would be if they were along side me. I even had a semi try passing me in a place there was no way he could have made it. It was a good thing I cut him off as a car came over the hill, and I know someone would have had an accident. Hopefully he messed up his load as he had to slam on his brakes.
-
I like this train of thought, it isn't me that is going to probably do something stupid and hurt my self, it will be someone trying to pass me and kill us both when I didn't even do anything dumb.
-
Of course when I cut them off, I won't go to the extent of making them crash, as then it would probably be me getting busted. But having driven a lot at my old job, I got really good at telling when someone behind me was going to try something stupid. And if they did pass, I got their license number and called the state patrol and reported them.

speed contests with these morons is never a good idea. i just avoid trying to speed up so someone can't pass, its too dangerous you know. although i highly support strategically blocking people like going slow beside a semi so that some over aggressive driver can't go by.
