Default Caddllac CTS

I hate it when I see a young punk in daddys car running up the street tailgaiting cars trying to intimidate them into pulling over so they can race past them. But that's exactly what happened yesterday on the way to work. A punk in a Cadillac CTS on the onramp of the thruway was ahead of me intimidating, tailgating, swerving side to side,as if to tell the person in front of him "get the hell out of my way". That really ticked me off, so as we merge onto thehgwy I thought what the hell I'll give him a message and see if he likes it. He passes the car ahead and I rode the CTS's *** till there was enough room to go to the right lane and in third gear just smoked by him. While I was passing him I could see him shrink down into the seat putting his head down and trying no to look over to me. After I passed he slowed, I slowed to 70 and it was another couple of miles before he dared to pass me. I let him by and saw the same reaction as the first time I passed him. I shouldn't have done what I did, but these type of drivers really **** me off.

Must be my older age but, there was a time i would have done that but now, I just let them go on there way because if they cause an accident which maybe they will down the road, i dont want to be any where near them, just asking for trouble.............

But, When jump into daddy's car you always tend to think your bad *** so you always do stupid stuff.

I can relate.
I used to play with em a bit when I first got the car but now I just let em pass on by.
If they're particularly persistent, I give the license plate a long obvious look and then whip out the cell phone.
That's usually sufficient.

I got mad a while back...my girlfriend was following me home, and we were getting onto 465 around indy, i was being careful because she has an old Grand Prix, and i can lose her quick if i'mdriving my normal self...well there wassome traffic, and i noticed while merging on, a RX-8 cut her off, sent me off, and i cut him off, but there was to much traffic to really get him back, so i let him go, but i did give him a good old one figure salute. haha, he probably had no idea why i cut him off and flipped him off but thejerk cut my girlfriend off! haha...

A CTS-V will spank a stock GT. They are 13.1 sec cars out of the box.

I have a friend who has one and I'm trying to get him to let me help 'fix' it. Muhahaha.

In todays society, when things "escalate", you never know if someone is going to pull out a gun. You never know if they also have the ***** to pull the trigger.

And I'm finding more and more it is these rich kid types with mommy and daddy's credit card in their back pocket and Ludacris blairing on there stereo that are the worst ones.

I was at a party last week and a gun got pulled over a game of cards. Two little white"frat" boys with there ballcapson sideways got in an argument and the next thing you know.....everybodies running.

Back in my day there was more respect. What the hell happened in the last 10 years?

Ya I hate stupid people too, its a good thing you took this kind of action, man you really patroled the streets and did you best to take a threat off the streets. Stupid people owning cars above thier IQ level or thought function is terrible. I know that he was in Daddys car and way to young to understand what a silly act he was pulling, so you straightened him right out, he'll never do this again.
Its a good thing this knuckle didn't havegun. or worse yet follow you into your job (McDonalds) and teach you a lesson.
