She never did pass that car in the middle lane and eventually pulled back over into her place (get in the middle lane, bitch!) after I changed back into the fast lane and she realize "oh, i'm a dumbass, i'm in the fast lane and i'm not going fast, nor trying to pass someone. I shouldn't be here."

 

do you normally drive around with a camera running?

 

Ya seriosuly? You have your camera always going? Where is it mounted?

 

It's mounted just over my right eye, in my forehead.

Okay it's in my right hand. :P

 

Haha sweet. What song is on in the backround? linkin park?

 

Yeah, Linkin Park - In The End.

I've started listening to them recently (i'm a little late to that trend, darn :P ) and I find some of the songs very applicable to driving.

 

What a surprise - a Subaru. Those MF's are the bane of my existence.

I wish I had the power to revoke licenses on sight. Turn off your goddamned John Tesh CD and check the rear view mirrors occasionally. Better yet, just go drive into a ravine.

 

HAHA, thats why i suggest using one of these, i crawl right up slower drivers bumpers - also its a blast when merging, i just slowly creep over on them, they get the hint and get out of the way, (airhorns help also)

 

this is a pretty funny coink-e-dink.

yesterday, driving my rental car home after work, merged onto 410 from perrin-beitle (in San Antonio).

as soon as i merge into the right lane of the 3 lanes, a red truck with some old dude wearing a cowboy hat pulls in front of me. i signal and move over to the center to pass...he does the same and is still in front of me, so i pull to the far left lane and accelerate past him and cruise at about 80mph, about 50 feet in front of him.

i see him getting into the left lane speeding up to me, thinking he'd pass me on the right (both right lanes are clear now) but instead, he pulls on my ass and starts flashing his lights.

so, being the nice guy i am, i slam on my brakes of my rental car and startle the shit out of him (should've seen his face ).

he backs off, and follows me to 281, and i see him writing something on a piece of paper.

as i pull onto the 281 lane, he pulls up next to me waving the paper saying he has my license plate number.

so i smile and laugh 'cuz unless i caused an accident or was involved in a hit and run, (or parked illegally somewhere), him having my license plate number (of my rental car, btw ) means jack shit, especially when he can't get me for any violations (ie 1)if i was speeding, he'd have to speed too in order to get my plate #, and 2) if i startled him by slamming on my brakes on purpose...then i wonder who was following too closely?)

 

doesnt this shit piss you off, happens to me just about every damn time I am on the highway .
GENERAL RULE : if person coming up is faster than you , move the F$%! over !!!!

bastards. they should have their damn license revoked.

 

one time this dick comes up flying up on my, waiving his arms out the window and flashing his lights, so i think he has some kind of emergency and let him by, then he slows down and tries to keep me behind him (this happened on interstate 80 west in ohio), so i get back around him, and i spy up ahead a car with some old folks going like 45-50 , i pulled up next to them and rode for over a half hour side by side, there wasn't much traffic - the guy was smashing his dash and trying to bend the steering wheel, it was great

 

Those f*cking oinks cause accidents

(Only thing worse.. the dreaded moving 2- and 3-lane moving roadblock. AKA – CSPFF -- Chicken Shit Piglet Formation Flying)

 

how'd you mount the camera? i want to do that to my car. i think it would be fun to record the stuff you see while driving

 

Well, I have this bend in my arm called an elbow, and I rest that on the arm rest and hold the camera just below and to the right of my face, and it's in the perfect position to record out the windshield and also get the dash in it too.

 

I gotta get me one of those.

 

Today was a little better... I think they're learning!
