I'm never surprised at what I see on the road. Well, except for that horrible homemade Arial Atom wannabe I wasn't able to get a picture of. Of all the places I've lived and traveled to, Gainesville has the lowest percentage of WTF cars roaming the streets.

Nearly got into a road rage-induced scuffle today. Some dude got really mad that I changed lanes to get around a bus and as he went to overtake me on the inside, I changed lanes back to the right again. He stayed behind me and I thought that was that. About 500m further up, I changed lanes to the left again to take the left fork in the road. Apparently, he wasn't done yet, so he barreled up my right side, dove in front of me, nearly sideswiping my car if I hadn't braked hard and came to a complete halt. Then, in the middle of goddamn traffic, he started getting out of his car. I peeled out into the opposite lane to get around him, then back in my own lane and across the light. He followed, drove aggressively and then made a ridiculous passing maneuver between me and oncoming traffic (on a road with one lane in each direction), almost sideswiped me again and then I have no idea what his plan was, because he didn't even stop or get out of his car that time. This happened right in front of my apartment, which I obviously didn't want him to know. Since I was behind him at that point, I dove down a side road and took at circuitous route back and parked where I live. I guess if he'd followed me, I would have driven to the nearby police station and parked there instead. Goddammit man, some people. Some people. I still don't get the whole thing about getting out of your car because you're pissed at someone in traffic. You can bet your rear end I'm staying inside my 1½ ton shell of metal and glass if something like that happens, that's for sure. KozmoNaut fucked around with this message at 16:05 on May 13, 2013 |

Some dude on a scooter once cut me off and so I passed him legally and went on my way. Five blocks later he caught up to me at a stop light and starts kicking my bumper. Dude was a loving brick shithouse or I'd have jawed at him a bit but instead I took a hard right and sped the gently caress off.

Reminds me of one of my co-workers, he was out riding his bike and had someone get out of their car with their dukes up while he was wearing his full face helmet and armored riding jacket. After realizing his mistake he just yelled and got back in his car.

I honked at a guy because he didn't make a left turn on an advanced green. The guy looked to be in his late 40s early 50s, with his wife and teenage daughter in the car, decided getting out of the car and challenging a car with myself and 3 of my late 20s friends. What the gently caress are these people thinking? What if we werent just laughing at him? What if we were in a bad mood? The guy would have been a bleeding mess in the middle of the street.

I had my jeep die while waiting for a light at an intersection in Auburn MA a few years ago... I knew what was probably wrong with it, so I was out of the jeep, hood up, connection fixed, hood down, and running again by halfway through the green cycle (fortunately I had a bit of the red light left when it stalled out) but that wasn't fast enough for the dipshit behind me. He was honking at me the whole time and followed me for several turns after that. So I took a few random turns through a residential neighborhood to make sure he was actually following me, then turned the interior lights on, looked over my shoulder, and grabbed my tire iron off the back seat. Turned the lights back off. He didn't follow me through the next turn  e: I had no intention of actually fighting him, just so that's clear. I just figured a little reminder that he was being an idiot might help things along. kastein fucked around with this message at 19:44 on May 13, 2013 |

Not a road rage incident but probably looked like one was going to happen: my car stalled at an intersection once due to a dead battery (the hazard lights were pretty much unlit), and a woman in the car behind me honked at me to move. I got out and walked to her car to tell her that my car was stalled. She looked a little scared when I approached, probably thinking I was going to road rage.

There's one road to get out of my part of town, and it's only one lane up to where it crosses the interstate. If you're not stopped directly at the stop line it won't ever cycle. One day I was a couple cars back and the light didn't change, so I got out of my car to go tell the guy at the front he needed to pull forward or it would never turn green. He saw me coming and freaked out and ran the light. Then so did the 2-3 cars behind him.

I saw a guy driving between 50-80mph in my old 25mph neighborhood a while back. He almost hit a little girl who was crossing the street right in front of her dad. This was in a school zone by a park. Also almost broadsided my buddy's car by being in the wrong lane and ignoring a stop sign too. Recognized it as a car that had been possibly been involved with a hit & run where he ran over a crossing guard by the local elementary. So my friend is driving and I'm writing his plates down.. Not following, we were driving to my house and this was all on the way. He takes a turn into a cul de sac and I'm missing 3 digits and I'm set on reporting this guy for reckless/aggressive driving. We park at the front of the cul de sac a couple houses down and just sit in the parked car while I'm getting the rest of his plates. My buddy's civic was a little busted up so his windows don't roll up at the time. Anyway this guy gets out of his big red lifted brotruck and immediately pulls a hand gun on me, walks toward me holding me at gunpoint, making constant threats to "shoot you right here in the street" So I pull out a 2" pocket knife and hold it by my side and tell him to put the gun away or he's going to get cut. He runs into his house to fetch a rifle he keeps by his front door, because his pistol was un-loaded the whole time! Guess who went to jail for that one... (hint it's me) (guess who's pro gun control now!) I'm just thankful I'm alive, this all took place maybe 1 week after one of my best friends was murdered using a handgun. In a road rage situation you should #1 get the gently caress out of there #2 get the gently caress out of there #3 get the gently caress out of there This isn't even the first time I have had someone pull a handgun on me in a road rage incident. In Upper Class Gentrified Suburbia. Every time it's a 35-50 year old balding man who makes between 100-200k a year in some sort of mid life crisis car.

In April I was clipped by a guy lane-splitting down the highway in a black suv with red stripes. I started saying his plate number over and over until my passenger put it into his cell phone. Pulled over, filed police report, that was that. Less than a week later, another friend sends me a picture he saw posted by one of our local news stations.  Plates matched.

I post on internet forums about cars all day. This is how you know I'm very attractive and this is why my standards are stratospheric. That car is also bad because it is not diesel or a wagon.

The offset/floating licence plate looks a little weird, is that common in florida/elsewhere? I think the color looks good, though I like how the toyobaru looks in general.
