To the 335 owner on 405.
I know the title doesn't belong to the ot, but the story does.
My memory is weird, so a license plate i've seen in a bad situation can be remembered if seen again. The reason I'm writing this is the hope the idiot who once again tried to get us all killed will read this and stop fucking around. I was on my way to the dog park in my car, the subtle Austin Yellow M4. This was the third time the same guy decided to start first tailgating me, and then when the room came, to try to take my pic. Now, today it was pouring with rain. Here it means people drive like shit. I hope you don't do this to others, but while trying to take a pic, you took half of my lane, you almost killed us both, but that's not the reason I'm writing this. The reason is, that there were others around us. My breaks are so good, that if I can, I will use those. You have horses under the hood too, and those come with responsibility. Dude, you can not risk others like you did today, and I will not now, or ever race you. the situation you drove yourself into, was not in your hands, and it was pure luck you didn't crash into the van in front of you. The next time I will not try to keep you from hitting me, I will just be making sure I will end up in the top of the pile, and I will also memorize the plate better. Lups--

You go girl!!! I'm assuming there will be a 4th encounter with this fan of yours. Might be wise to take a pic of him or at least remember his plates.

Now, as an example let's use the american shit, football. Wah mentioned someone months ago, his team was losing because this dude. Manning. Then last week an other friends team was playing against this dude, and I woke up in the middle of the night wondering why I'm picturing a man Päivi (a finnish female name, and the most hated by me of all times) being experimented by Mengele (the nazi doctor) while he was eating broccoli. It took me a solid 7 hours to get to the bottom of it, and I couldn't stop laughing because the only thing I know about the game is that there is a bbq (quarterback but in my head it's the same as the sauce) who looks like my old daycare worker (päivi) the last name and the tiny problem with the medications used in the NFL (googled that one for this post) and of course his team, which sounded in my head like the veggie. I'm not clean by far, I do bad things in cars often. I never leave lights the normal ways, and if not texting while driving, it's rare to see me going by even near the speedlimit. What I do not do, is risk others. If I'm texting I am far away from others and that doesn't really happen often. If I'm speeding, the road is open and I make sure I am aware the others don't know how fast I am going even in the outer lanes. I pay attention. If I'm racing, it's against dudes who's tires I've checked out and I know they are good and they know what exactly they are packing. My ego is huge, but I also know the value of human life. I have no need to proof to any idiot I'm a better driver when I know he will do everything to beat me in a place where others will be risked. I know what I'm driving. Please people, show an interest and I will pull over for you to take pics of the car. I will not take it kindly if you wish to risk others for that.

I thought about doing this, but the truth is other car fans need to remember the same thing. There are others on the road. It isn't good for any of us to forget there are people in the obstacles in the awful cars in front of us.

It really is tempting to play with some of these guys. Around here, there are always other cars on the road, so even speeding would potentially be putting others at risk. An e92 m3 blew by me yesterday and I started to play for a minute until I realized that I was weaving around cars to catch up. I didn't want to be the guy on the front of the paper that killed an innocent family while racing with another BMW. Playtime was over...

I'm pretty solid with pavement, better on gravel I'd say though. I would bet a local guy here in Seattle would eat my dust what ever I was driving if I wanted to.

My point in writing this is, that if I'm alone in the car, and this same dude does that to me, I will be on the top of the pile. He shows no respect for the horses he's packing, no respect for other road users and as a combination and while targeting my car, he's really pissing me off. Next time I will find my phone, dial 911 and just follow him till the cops show up. I truly hope us with cars that have power would just understand that the bad decisions we make will probably affect us in the brand new cars less than they will the others in the really bad ones. I am no saint. You all can see me in lights reving when ever, but I won't risk others. It's an AY, not an SO as the clip showed.

Call the cops, okay and say what? This guy is trying to hit everything on the road, and come and stop him? If I were a cop I'd just go for an other doughnut. Its Seattle, that would describe 95% of the drivers. I do hope he reads this too. It is a pretty car and I'm always willing to let people check it out, when stationary. I can usually trust myself in the traffic but this area in the rain goes mental, and the dude just didn't seem to care he was risking others. I've calmed down now a lot but I've spent the night trying to remember his plates. No luck yet but I'll get it eventually.

I got the impression he was trying to harm you. In that case a call to 911 it completely appropriate : " 911, I'm currently involved in a road rage incident - the guy is trying to run me off the road- I fear for my life ". I would not call to say " this guy wants to race me and is taking pictures"
How many times has this guy done this? |

I'm pretty sure this was the third time since august the same car has done that. The scary part for me is that he seems to forget all others around us and yesterday the weather was really bad. Apart of my sons birthday I can remember just about everything. I can not believe that I recognize a plate but cant recall it. This is driving me insane. Anyway. Lets speed away when the roads are clear and we can only kill ourselves. Risking others just to show off and acting like nothing can get us is pretty damn SO M4.

Maybe the guy was just a bit excited to see a Hot Blonde behind the wheel of his dream car. Ha!

Call fucking 911!
Cops love going after the ragers and reckless. I hear it on the scanner all the time.

Its just a weird fought to call cops when all you can in the end say is that this man in a very very usual car is a dickhead who can't keep his lanes, almost hit a person in front of me and me twice and I'm willing to bet a lot its the same damn dude that's done it before. If I got a call like that, I would only think the caller is high. All he would have to say is that he didn't do it and case closed and somewhere someone who is in serious shit (not that he wasn't but I just slowed down so much I got away, Seattle is not a place to speed in the rain, people go insane here) has to wait because I am sick of idiots. Okay, rant over. If I ever remember the plate, I will get back to this. It'll popup at some point I hope.

All cops need to pull you over is probable cause. A call to 911 with a complaint of reckless driving and a plate number is probable cause.

I just hope he reads this and drives like a sane person next time he hits the road. Anyone can go fast and reckless. Calming down is the hard part. Anyway, I got my anger out. I hope the man reads this forum and thinks what he did. We all got seriously lucky yesterday.

Yeah, my boy toy is a subtle one. I really didn't think this thing through.
I saw the thread about your game Boss, people seem to like it! Congratulations, I would never have the patience for a project like that.

Calling the police will most likely result in him being spoken to, but not cited since the police weren't there to witness it. It will still scare the shit out of him, though, lol. And if he continues, keep calling the police. They'll eventually get so tired of his shit that they'll camp out for him. Maybe. Depends on how bored the cops are.
You could always throw a handful of change out the window (Just kidding, don't do that)
