What is it with these idiots riding on the ass of every stang they see?
Yesterday was a crappy day. I was in a foul mood. I had just left the house of my close friend who'se wife had died that morning of cancer. She was also a good friend. I left work to go see him, friends were there, my wife, kids etc. Anyways, My wife heads back to the house with the kids and a hour or so later i head back in the mustang. Im driving. Not hauling ass, not revving my engine nothing. I get up to an intersection right in my neighborhood, im on the right side of a double left turn lane. Couple girls in a car next to me, im minding my business. We go around the corner and i give it a little extra, nothing heavy, next thing you know i see a Subaru's headlights right on my ass i could tell he was wanting to race tailgating me trying to shove me out of the way Keep in mind i have the Bullet Brake upgrade kit with the 13in brembos and larger dual piston calipers. I just snapped, he was right on my ass i slammed on my brakes so hard i actually locked up and came to a complete stop. This asshat must have damn near crapped his pants cause he was maybe 6 feet behind me when i slammed them on the brakes and i couldnt see his headlights or anything in my rear view. He probably was a few inches from buying me a new bumper and paintjob. He got so close im sure he had no problem reading "AMERICAN" on my 3rd brake light. I gun it, spin out, kick some rocks up on him and he immediatly bolts right up at me where i slamm on the brakes again, locked em up to a full stop and i heared his wheels skidding as he tried not to slamm into me. The girls in the car that was next to me in the double turn lane drove by with a "OMFG I CANT BELIEVE HE DID THAT!!" look on thier face. I sat there for a second with this subie behind me and then gradually took off. He stayed about 30 feet behind me as i crept up to the turn-off into my neighborhood and i was sure to use my blinker so he was fully aware of where i was going in case he wanted to discuss what happened. Of course he did the ricer flyby instead. ugh... |

Happens to me all the time. I like to downshift to 2nd let off the gas and clutch brake em, No break lights. They'll be sidesteppin trying not to rearend you, then they switch lanes to try to pass. Then all ya gotta do is slam the gas in 2nd gear, and bark a nice 3rd gear. sometimes you may need to hold the pedal in 3rd with a stock GT, but they usually get to see your back bumber. Sometimes when you slam the throttle in 2nd gear at 25 miles per hour she'll light up the tires pretty good. that is also a deterent from them trying that shit twice. LOL..

Oh man I have tons of fun with tailgaters. Usually its on a 2 lane road with a solid yellow line, so I just drop to about 15 under, EVEN if Im in a hurry, its worth it. MAN do they get pissed.

I hate tailgaters. Just today, I was driving back from Nashville, doing 85 in a 70, and I had a ton of people ride my ass. Jesus, mostly SUVs, there's nothing like having a 6,000 lbs Tahoe riding my bumper...
