It was at a restaurant that isn't too close to where I live. I don't go there too often, maybe twice a month. I always keep that in mind and when I eat I always try to sit in sight of my car.

I dunno if anyone has gotten into a fistfight before. I would not recommend it, but physically, it's satisfying. People often think they can do anything they want as they are hiding behind sheet metal, with windows that go up and doors that lock, be it a BMW or Ford. Sometimes a lesson needs to be learned, either by us, or the other party.

That kind of thing happens all the time in Boston. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone do something absolutely ridiculous (back up the wrong way down a 1 way street, cut me off, rotary right-of-ways, etc) and when I use my horn on them, they get angry and start honking at me like it was my fault. I've learned that it's better to have a sense a humor about it, and chalk it up to the "uniqueness" of Boston drivers.

He is able to get in front of me at the light and when we are driving he has the audacity to start swerving to block me from getting passed him. I could not believe this f*!ker. To make a long story short he was driving a POS tauras station wagon, I easily dropped into 2nd and flew by him showing him in a unique way that I am number 1.
Yeah, I know that situation was frustrating and kinda sucks. It happened and it's over and thankfully nobody died and nobody got hurt. Life is way too short to get your stuff all up in a wad about it. Now you can chill and relax ... take one of these ... they're great at times like this.

Oh yeah well I'm # -∞ (that's negative infinity bitches!), so there!! ha, anyway I have a kind crazy road rage story.

A few yrs back I was drivin back from Big Bear w/my buddy in my '01 Civic Coupe, cruisin around 80mph in the fast lane on the freeway. There was a good amount of traffic but it was all moving. So anyhow this dude in a new Dodge Ram is all of a sudden on my ass. My bud is like "what's this guys prob.". After a few miles I noticed the guy was subconsciously causing me to get too close to the guy in front of me so I purposely let off the gas to give him some more room.

When I did the guy in the truck took it to the next level and was basically pushing my car he was so close (seriously I couldn't believe he wasn't actually touching my car!). So I finally just pulled over to the right to let him pass. As he did my buddy & I both gave him the finger and he swerved all crazy like he was going to sideswipe me or something.

Well he lost control for a sec and started fish-tailing and the backend of his truck hit the driver's side of my car and broke off my mirror & caused some body damage. I was stunned for a moment as I realized what just happened. My buddie was like, "WHAT, that dude just hit you!!".

So I got behind him and started to follow him as my buddy called 911. Then he started BAILING like a mad man trying to get away from me, but as I'm sure you all know there was no way in hell that was going to happen. So here I am chasing a Dodge Ram on the freeway swerving between lanes as were calling 911. The truck was so new it didn't have any plates otherwise I'd prob. just let him go & report it.

So after a few miles we're both in the fast lane and I'm in hot pursuit. Then he all of a sudden swerves into the shoulder (fast lane mind you) and slams on his brakes. I pass him & do the same so now I'm in front & stopped in the shoulder. By this point my buddy STILL hasn't gotten through to 911. Then as I'm watching in my rearview, I see the truck floor it and start to accelerate towards us. I tell my buddy hang on he's going to rear-end us!! Then he swerves into the fast lane right at the last second and again tries to get away.

So I do my thing and just keep following him. He finally pulls over to the right-hand shoulder and comes to a stop all abruptly. My buddy & I jump out expecting a fight (we were young & stupid and full of adrenaline by now!). The guy gets out, sees us w/our shirts off ready to fight and decides the play the "No Speak-a-d-ingles" card and starts saying, "Wat Happen? Wat Happen?". Like he didn't know what was going on. We told him we called the police and he's in big trouble, hit & run etc...

Anyway so he starts to BEG us to not tell the police and explains it's a rental car (I mean truck) and this that and the other thing. So I got all his information (he actually had insurance and a license), and told him that I will be getting a quote for the damage tomorrow and when I call him with he amount, he better not grovel or try to offer less otherwise I'm going straight through ins. & police.

So I get a quote for $1200 to replace the mirror and fix the fender. I called him & said I want $2000 or else I'm going to the police. He agreed and to make a long story, well longer, he brought me $2000 cash and apologized. He said he didn't realize he'd actually hit me & thought we were just chasing him to beat him up or something...

Moral of the story, I don't give people the finger anymore. Instead I just smile.

hmm... I confess. I do not posses expertise in grammatical linguistic abilities, but there seems to be a slight problem in the sentence formed above.

btw, I'm #0, top that.

P.S. I find the best thing to do is just wave at the person and continue on smiling in your BMW.
