really, what is wrong with some people
ok, i get outta work at 2am this morning, and take the local road (bushwick ave) to get to the interboro highway as always, when i see one "cool blue" headlight coming really fast behind me, i say one, cuz no other light on this retards front end was working.
i come to a red light, only to have him come really fast to the light, slam his brakes, and swerve alil not to hit me, i say, ok, maybe he's just a lil slow in the reaction department, and "thanx for not hitting my 1 month old cobalt SS with 2 f-ing thousand miles" in my head
i was wrong, ******** was not slow, he was completely retarded, he does the same **** again at the next light, but this time rolls up to my side and says, and I quote "what, you dont have the skillz to take on a blackman with a deathwish?" (btw, i worked in brownville / bedstuy/ bushwick and east new york, so i got all the skillz and friends i need) mean while, his just as dumb friends are giggling in the passenger seats of his 99ish lexus sumthin, i think
im looking to go home, with my car, in one piece. so i say, ok, after you. he says "nah, imma let you go", then he reverses and pulls behind me. up my ass th entire time for a few more blocks, i finnally just nail the throttle and he trys to keep up, im not full on shifting and racing, so hes staying close-ish to me, trying to get around me on a 1 way street. the lanes finally opens to 2 and he gets to the other lane, i slam on my brakes (btw, brembos= sex at this point) and he flys passed me, i manage to make a turn and lose him.
the moral of the story is, if you have a firearm, carry it, just for situations like this if there was an accident and they continue being aggressive, and always have a cellphone ready for 911. I made a decision to use my car and its abilities to end this, some people my not be so lucky. just please drive safely, and be aware of your surroundings and know your location at all times

One reason I like having a fast car. Back when I was 16 I was cutoff by an older minivan. I honked my horn at them and suddenly a van full of spanish guys had a very big problem with me. They proceeded to follow me, honking and throwing stuff at my car. At the next traffic light 3 of them got out and ran towards my car with bats. Fortunately though I was first in line and just blew through the red light to get away from them. They jumped back in the van quick and followed me onto the highway. I was driving an 88 Z24 at the time which wasnt very fast but I floored it and was still able to lose them. I was in a similar situation when I had my LS Cobalt but their car was faster so I ended u just driving to the police station and they were smart enough not to follow me there. A fast car definitely has many advantages that you might not think of.

whenever I plan on going out for the night I always carry in my car. I've had too many situations similar to this one where I wish I had one.
My boss had a good example:
He was in town really late one night trying to get back to the highway from his buddie's house. He pulled into some stopped traffic a black guy walks up to his car (at the time he had a Mercedes c230 compressor). He taps on the tinted windows and tells him to roll the windows down. He does this 2-3 more times until the guy finally says , "dude, roll your f*ckin' windows down!". By this time my boss had got his firearm in hand and on the steering wheel. He rolled down the window and screamed, "what!". The guy took one look at the gun and said, "nothing man"...and walked away.

lol wow, your suggesting because some guy wants to race, carry a gun? Also I don't think you had to "lose" him he was probably just going the same way as you. Driving faster is just egging him on imo
He was probably thinking you were crazy one.

I don't think the guy wanted to race him...The way I personally would have taken the guys statement "What you don't have the ***** to take on a black man with a death wish" is the dude was intent on trying to run me off the road/wreck me into a ditch/car jack me/try and shoot me/etc... I probably wouldn't have raced him but I would have gone to the police station and ran every red light the entire way there hoping a coip pulled me over. That would definately be a scary situation to be in at 2 am.

Had a similar situation happen to me. Fortunately the guy was in a big cumbersome Ford Explorer so I just threw the Cobalt around a few corners and lost him after I got onto the freeway. Sucked having to pay toll just to get away ><

Yes, I am the one to get shot in CANADA. Think about what your saying, you have 100 times more of a chance with that happening to you. Also, I don't drive slow. I drive it like a stole it everywhere so if I had some guy speeding up onto my ass, I would go as fast as I needed to, to make sure I was ahead so he probably wouldn't catch up to me, meaning I wouldn't get shot thinking he wanted to be friends! Man, ignorance is bliss!

I dunno. I have had morons come up to me and do weird **** at night but it never means they wanted to jack my car and shoot me.

Sounds like somebody is jealous! lol Yes everybody who says a stupid phrase to you, want to jack your car and shoot you. lol
Wow! So angry over words on the internet!
I will drive safe, in my safe country!
Shut the **** up about Canada. People carry weapons ILLEGALLY there as well. Our weapons law has NOTHING to deal with it when that person is probably carrying illegally. You drive it like you stole it? You deserve to have a facepalm from the law. Drive safely you idiot.

Canada or USA does not matter. If its carried illegally gun laws have NOTHING to deal with it. And I can bet you I'm in a safe as a place as you are.

I agree but people are assuming somebody had a gun which might not be the case! Oh yeah, where I live, 2 murders in the last 11 years!

And I rather assume the guy in the one light car HAD a gun than find out the hard way.
