I just gave him the finger up

Those who know know, those that don't know don't know they don't know.

I like your approach to this situation. You showed him that Camaros are #1.

Lol, I have had alot of people comment positively and a couple negative. The negatives are the funniest. Somebody went out of their way to tell me they weren't feeling the SGM color. I just laughed because I see cars, colors of cars, mods on cars, and etc. that I don't care for all the time but it never occurs to me to go out of my way to express that. And when I laughed at them their faces were priceless.

Whatever you do in these situations, just remember it only takes a couple of seconds to escalate out of control.

You spin some wheels, they follow suit and then shout something at you, you see red and take off in pursuit, etc. etc.

There are some crazy folks out there. You're giving chase and they throw their handbrake up, you have no brake light warnings and you drive straight into the back of them. Your fault on the insurance!

You give someone the finger, they pull a gun and shoot you!

So I was behind one of the new Porsche Panameras on the way home the other night. It was cruising in the fast lane and just would not move over for me to get past. I didn't bother driving up close, or flashing my lights or anything, I remained patient.

There was clearly a need for him to move over, and he had spaces in the other two lanes to do so, he was just being arrogant.

So I move over to get past him on a clear stretch in the middle lane and what does he do? He floors it, cuts across all three lanes and exits. Like why? What's your point? "You can't do better than me, or overtake me because I have a Porsche" ?? He probably got up to 110mph by my reckoning. I could have given chase to make a point that I too had a fast car, but where would it have ended? Plus, with what he had, there was a risk I wouldn't keep up

The point being, there really are some pricks out there who may not reason the same way you would. And if they had a bad day, they may go that one step further which you didn't see coming and BANG ... it all ends in tears

Just my 2 cents ...

So I tend to ignore idiots who give the finger etc. Blowing 'em a kiss back .... that is funny because that does give you the edge, but heh, if they blow me a kiss back in return and start chasing me then I am worried for a whole other reason

Kid obviously has no clue about anything.

Steve Dallas · 03-05-2011, 04:49 PM

Just point and laugh anytime you see a ricer. Be obvious about it...
