So there is this primate in a land yacht

I see this primate in a land yacht, planning to do the wrong thing, I have the green light, I honk the horn(dual horns for added loudness) and make eye contact, "Hey small orange car over here" , I am making a U-turn, BTW.

Looks right at me and he rolls on through his red light, as I am honking at him repeatedly. He started to close me out against the curb as I swung in behind him, holding the horn down by now, memorizing his plate and thinking, "I only drive this car when it is nice out, not my daily driver. Where can I find two 4 lug fuchs as nice as these? Would I die if I got hit by a Suburban, even at 20 mph, thought that as I read the ESCALADE in big, friendly letters, below his door guard, that is right at eye level for me." I went to the store, bought 12 Bass Ales and feel much better now.

I will be so frickin' pissed if some dickhead hits me when I am driving that car, one of the reasons it looks so bad. When I painted my convertible bug, some old lady clipped me, signalling a right turn as she hung a U turn in front of me from the right lane on a 4 lane street. Bug was pretty sharp in evasive maneuver though, can't believe I did not T-bone her, happened within a month of getting it painted :driving: Only got small crease in R rear fender near bumper, not really visible in the pic

I saw a young 20something blonde lady yesterday run a red light in a big SUV. nearly took out someone in the crosswalk.
She pulled into the Safeway store and looked for a parking spot. She backed herself into a corner and tried to turn around, when I pulled the car into the parking aisle sidways, got out, and let her F*cking have it.

She said "Oh, I ran a red light? I didn't even notice"

Maybe she'll pay more attention next time she nearly kills someone.


Kinda funny... my "policing" doesn't happen often, but just a week or two ago, I went off one some young black athelte who parked in a handicap spot and bounded into a drugstore like he was on springs. No handicap plates or nothin'.
My mother is handicap.

Good idea JohnT, but I already have plenty loud horn. I honked at him before he did the wrong thing, and he did it anyway. Maybe I should start keeping Ninja Throwing Stars with me, or start carrying a sack of used D cell batteries in the car.

I will not ride a motorcycle on the street because of this very thing. When I was riding my bicycle a lot, I started carrying my .38 with me in case another hillbilly threw a bottle at me, Hell yes, I would shoot back at them

Its amazing how stupid and selfish people get when they are driving. Yacking on their cell phones and doing just about everything else but driving. I had some lady sweep me into uncoming traffic (I was on a bike) becasue I didn't give her her "turn" to get into my lane from behind a break down. The bit@h really believed she was justified in doing this (She said so when I cought up to her at a light). It was literally fine with her if she killed me for not letting her get in front of me (I was on a patch of ice, this was not a time to give anyone a break).
