So today I was heading to a doctor's appointment and I had to make a left turn at this one street. It's one of those double-laned left turns where the inner lane can either make a U-turn or turn left and the lane on the right of that one makes a right into the farther lane across the street. So I'm in the latter lane. I get to the lane while it is still green and I'm going speed limit (45). As I get about 20 feet from the crosswalk the light turns yellow. I figure I'll make it because it's like an eye-blink away. So I'm heading into the far lane as some fruit-cake bastard driving a 90's style thunderchicken made a right turn into my lane. I see him turning so I hit the clutch and the gas and downshift from 3rd to 2nd and let my engine rev as much as it can in the time that I have. I aim the car towards the other lane -luckily there were no other cars next to me or else I would've been *****ed- and let go of the clutch and leave my foot on the gas pedal. At this point I'm letting God, my turbo, my suspension, and my driving skill (or lack thereof) take me into their hands. Miraculously my car didn't drift right into the bastard, it just grabbed some road and shot forward, maybe because it was just the comparatively low speeds, whatever the cause, thank goodness. I slow down after I make it into the lane and let the **** pass me. He switches in front of me to my lane, and I switch to the other, I hit the gas hard and shoot up next to him. I flip him off and scream, "Watch where you're going prick!" out the window as I zoom by ever so pissed because I realize that I wasn't going to make it to my appointment on time. DAMN IT!

People like that are why I am considering more and more keeping a spare bumper or 2 around completely painted so I can ram them off the fvcking road and just go change and ditch the old one with all the evidence.

Bumper isn't the only thing you'll need. 240's crumple like a *****. I was in a 25mph wreck, and I fooked up my whole bumper assembly, radiator support, headlights, hood, fenders, and obviously radiator too. But yea, I know you were just being sarcastic.:)

Haha, half sarcastic...it's crossed my mind though to actually do it. But with some good tactics and driving you can connect with another car very low impact, and then stear thier *** end into the median/other cars/sidewalk/flamingball of SUV rolling death....with only a little scraped paint. In comes the new bumper and out goes the evidence.

i know what you mean. i was in small wreck and the whole front end had to be replaced. i still need to work the frame a little and get it back to where it was. and about the bad drivers, i was coming home from my girls house, and the road its on is a two lane road. but at the intersection where it meets mainstreet, it has a left turn lane, a lane that goes strait, a right/straight lane, and a right turn lane. well, i was in the right hand lane coming up the the intersection and a red t-bird is next to me, i slow down and let him pass and he gets over infront of me. so as we near the intersection, i change lanes and get into the just go straight lane, and he starts coming over too, and damn near runs me off the road. i guess he noticed the car next to him and then shot over to the right turn lane. scared the sh*t outta me and then guy acted like nothing happened.

This is one of the many reasons I will have a CCW permit as soon as I possibly can. If somebody assaulted me with a deadly weapon (chain) around my wife and kids, they would be incredibly lucky to not be shot. If I was thinking clearly enough at the time, I might not shoot you...just restrain you until the police arrived, then press charges for assault with a deadly weapon etc. etc. If my wife and kids weren't around...god help you ;) I'd have all kinds of fun with your punk ***.

I hate it when some old drivers.. and yes i mean old A55 drivers stereotype you if your a teenager with a nice car... This morning for example i was making a right turn onto a street with my blinker on and this old fooggy comes across the main road and bout barrels into me with a HD work truck.. and then after slamming my brakes.. he looks at me and shakes his head like if its my fault.. i just wish they would die.. seriously.. OLD A55holes don't need to be driving.. i like to know where they get this "Statistical"data on teens causing accidents.. I get more close calls and near collisions becuz of 70yr hunchbacks of notredame thinking we are suppose to watch out for them.. Get off the road gramps... get a granny nanny or something... I'm very nice to people but "They" need to realize they aren't 20 anymore... and those big sunglass shade covers they were isn't gonna give them 20/20 vision.. they should bann them from driving when they hit 70yrs old

Megaseth...I like the Glock's but what I really want...Heckler and Koch USP 45 (cant decide between compact or tactical) or a Sig P220 :D That's for occasional carry/keeping in the car. For the house...it has to be a Benelli 12 gauge with a 2 round extension tube...8 rounds should be more than enough.

im not worried about having a gun, i figure if i had to get out of my car to beat someone with a chain, i could use the 3ooo lb car i drove up in to ram his lil *** :)

Agreed...but he waited until the guy got out of the car, then like a *****...had to use a chain in order to feel tough enough to take the guy. I wouldn't need the gun for myself, but if my wife and kid's were in danger you'd better bet it would be put to use.

Edit: by put to use, I dont necessarily mean I would shoot him, just restrain him and keep him from hurting anyone or running away until the police arrived.

Nathen, I wouldnt mind having a Sig P228 or a H&K also. i'd also take a 5-7. as for the house, a Benelli would be nice, but i got to shoot this H&K .45 rifle that is very nice. dont remember the name, but it was a great gun, too bad it cost $1200 :(

Mmmm guns... I think I'd keep an XD-6 in my car... but guns are heavy and 240s are already kind of on the chubby side.

Old ppl are definately the cause of many accidents, but you know the reason they don't get cited is bcuz everyone assumes the younger person is at fault. Is it just me or do some semi drivers have it in for sports cars too? I was on of the the less busy freeways on my way to school one morning and a semi in front of me moves into the off ramp as I continued straight. Then outta nowhere he decides to come back accross the painted divider and grassy area. At this point its only a one lane now, so I had a cement barrier on my left and a semi closing in on the other. I floored it and just made it in front of him.

240s must have a sign on the front that none of us can see that says "Turn Here".

You gotta think ghetto slang on this one guys...

By taking the ghetto slang term for mug, which represents face, one can come to the conclusion that the hard "OG*" just stared the man down, as he proceeded into the store...

The OG* did not mug the guy in the physical since that us non-OG* people know the term to be.

* OG means original gangster, for the non-ghetto types.
