If you were the driver of the range rover, what would you do?

Hell yeah. It's amazing there were no shots fired in this altercation.



I think once the 'riders' caught up to me I would start brake checking and attempt to knock any of them that come up beside me. Basically go into ballistic mode and any of them that are brave enough to come up and get some would be swerved at in a truculent manner.

Cause NYC is filled with a bunch of "guns'r'bad mmmkay" people

I agree on the brake checking/etc... It doesn't matter who you are, you don't own the road (talking about the bikers). The guy pulls up in front of the SUV and brake checks him, the whole group is blocking the road, not letting people pass, etc... I would have been scared for my life tbh.

If I felt threatened and my family were in the car, I would have done the exact same thing.

Yikes. Don't count me in for that one then, I think we're getting tickets to the football game against Chapel Hill.

He's about to fail epically, in my book, but it's his money and his car. I'm not a fan of goatse wheels. I can get a set of Asanti's for dirt cheap locally...too bad I don't like the face. Maybe I can kidnap Tyler Saturday and sell him for $5k to be able to get some wheels

Damn you guys are early birds haha with me working evenings the last few years I've forgotten how to wake up early. My eyes open up around 11am and I don't go to bed until at least 2-2:30am.

lol.. I literally gutted all the plastics from the door sills and the entire back seat and everything and I found like a hundred or so of them and sprayed the entire car down with Raid Bug Blocker... found a ton of them under the rear carpet area. I don't know what they are looking for because my car is clean as a whistle and have no trash or junk in it at all.

Around 9:00, and I'm not happy about that. I've yet to figure out what's wrong with people that they want to wake up early on the weekend . I've always been a night person, though...the only thing the morning is good for is going to bed.

He's super chill, he'll lay in one spot all day, but he'll take off if he gets spooked. That's the only reason why we have a leash on him. We opted for a harness instead of a collar do we don't snap his neck when pulling on the leash
