Guess the guys Mustang was in the shop?

Maybe he got a call it was ready for pickup?




This is anybody wish in my perfect world, there was a H.s. minimum degree requirement for a drivers license. Won't stop rages from occurring, but I'm sure would reduce the likelihood.

Let's see...25,000 miles a year, most of it commuting back and forth to work..draw your own conclusions.

I just don't get worked up about this kind of thing that much. I also never really felt the need to get into a bar fight either. Life is just too short to drive like the guy in this truck.

100% agree! There always way more to the story than a snippet of video tells. Of course the people that were interviewed said they did nothing wrong and of course we only heard one side. Not saying the other guy had any excuse but would be interesting to hear his version of events.

I have attempted to ram people before. I once chased a guy around several blocks full boost, sliding corners trying to nail his car. luckily for both of us, he was able to handle his car and it was a bit faster than mine, but in that moment it was my genuine attempt to ram him into a pole, then yank him out of the wreck and finish what I started. I was a bit heated.

I'm not quite as rage-filled as I used to be and I feel like I have something to lose now so I am better at calming down what rage is still dinging around in my head.

the 300zx driver must have done something to really antagonize the shit out of the pickup truck driver to esclate into running a person off the road. This snippet doesn't tell the whole story. I'm gonna guess he was blocking the pickup truck driver by driving slow in the left lane for a long enough time to frustrate the shit out of the pickup driver.

Even if the 300z driver did something to piss off the guy; it doesnt matter. Thats vehicular assult. With a deadly weapon. Felony.

Yes it is but I would still love to hear the other side of the story.

At 1:42 "I'm sorry you have such a negative life that you feel you need to take out your anger on other people". Yeah you were just driving along and minding your own business and some wacko decided he would push you off the road no no reason whatsoever.
I would put money that they were driving really slow on purpose and antagonizing the truck to the point he went bonkers. I can just see her egging on the boyfriend..."teach this jerk a lesson, babe"...right before they were wiped off the road.
The truck is still wrong but we all know what really happened here. We've all been behind one of those people that think they are going to show you what's what and make you pace behind them in the fast lane. The truck just did what we all wanted to do.

The worst is when the one truck is passing another and the difference in their speeds is like 0.1 mph.

I can understand because a lot of them have limited top speeds so anytime they aren't at max speed they are losing time. But it still annoying as fuk lol

I followed one doing that for about 50 miles the other day. Guy passing would almost get where he could pull back over and then slow down until almost behind the other guy and then slowly creep up, then slow down again.
Seriously considered ramming him myself!
