aw man. he even gets credit for the things he doesn't say =[

lol but that must've been a good chase. really hope that guy got away.

I have some friends (from TST actually) that've been known to throw handfuls of spare change out their windows... i mean, it makes sense (ugh. stupid pun) but can really mess up people's cars i'm sure.

oh yes...the e-brake-check too. thats a classic. no tail lights, two small contrails of tire smoke are all that warns the car behind that they are too close.
you sir, are an idiot.

^^ I hate to say it, but in a couple ways, I agree with projexxx. Not to that degree, but I do think he has some points.

For the most part -- and maybe this is due to my 'old age' -- I'm relatively tolerant of other drivers. But when you come across one that just won't quit with their asinine behavior, I have no problem returning some of it.

As in, if I'm peaceably going 75mph in the left-hand lane, passing people going 70mph in the right-hand lane -- and some guy comes flying up on my ass, gets within a foot of my back bumper, and starts weaving around in the lane, I won't hesitate to brake check him. Similarly, if that doesn't succeed in making him realize he needs to get some manners -- I have no problem dropping my speed to 70mph to pace the cars in the right-hand lane for a minute or two, and chuckle as I watch him flip out in the rearview mirror.

However, I can definitely say that I wouldn't do anything to cause damage to someone else's car. That jellybean incident happened when I was 18 -- I drove a Dodge Spirit, for Christ's sake, I knew nothing.


To keep on topic of the thread .. I was crossing the Burlington Bristol Bridge in my MSP once, and for those of you familiar with that area, you know that on the PA side -- 413 merges from two lanes down to one right around the Rohm & Haas plant. Some woman in a jacked up Dodge Ram tried to tear around me and cut me off at the merge, and I wasn't having it. Evidently, that made her very angry. She tailgated me the entire way across the bridge, through the toll both, and up until the first traffic light -- which was red. She then got out of her truck and walked up to my MSP, screaming at me to roll down my window. When I didn't do anything other than stare at her, she started punching at my hood -- thank God this was before I had my carbon fiber hood, or I probably would've gotten out of my car and tried to kill her with my bare hands.

Anyway, bottom line of the story -- she started punching my hood just as the traffic light was turning red for opposing traffic, and what happens to pull up? A cop car! I'd never been so happy to see the police in my life, haha.

Yea ok guys the whole throwing **** at people while driving is a BAD IDEA on so many levels. I really encourage people to not **** with other people's cars unless that person has ****ed with your car already. (i dont mean cutting u off, i mean property damage) Its just one of those things that as men you just dont do. You dont **** with another man's car and u dont **** with another man's dog (or cat). Official Man law. (ladies idk what to say but i hope u all wont sink to this level either)

If someone cuts u off, just let it go. Or if u cant, go cut them off, but dont cause any real damage cuz they didnt cause any to you. Now if they key ur car, then go ahead and **** up their ****. but unless they cause u damage first, then u should NOT damage them.

Idk what i would do if someoe threw coins at my car. Id probly follow them and put them in a coma, or at the very least call the cops with their plate and report what they did and follow them till they got caught, or id call in with their vehicle and plate and report their car stolen, or say that they are armed or have narcotics visible (either way they wind up with a gun in their face that day) But ya, doing **** like damaging people's cars for no real reason is completely unacceptable.

this one time a few of my friends and i (3 cars) were heading back from wildwood and we were messing around with one another on the highway. we all got food before we left the beach and on the way home we were chucking the leftovers out of our windows at our friends car. one of us had a roast beef sandwich when it hit the window it stuck and slid up their windshield. My friend who was driving at the time had to piss real bad so we ended up switching seats while we were driving so he could piss in a water bottle; and yes we chucked that out the window at our friends too, it missed tho lol. as time went on we had a huge map of pa with us so we got the bright idea of me spreading this map out over top of the steering wheel so i cant see **** and have the passenger steer. we had people breaking their necks as they drove by it was hilarious. this was one of the craziest things that my friends and i have done while we were driving. well maybe not crazy but fun as hell anyway. lol

Sounds like a terrible idea.

But I do want to switch drivers in motion sometime, its one of my goals

I throw coins regularly. F-em, it they are dicks i give them tips. Typically i chuck them in situations like this - I was being tailgated with a car in front of me keeping me from going any faster. Brake checked him once, he backed off, came up closer, checked again, then came up even closer, so i lobbed a hand full of penny's at him.
He got the message after that, and kept his distance till the highway opened up, then he vroomed past me in his cadillac.

still unwarranted, but sounds like he was extra douchy, but ur a bigger douche for causing damage to his car. just watch who u do it to, cuz I know people who would take their car and shove it right up ur ass after that and spin u into all kinds of ****ed up after that. In life its best not to **** with people more than they **** with you, cuz u will eventually get in over ur head.

Okey Dokey there bud. We'll keep our distance, you just stop "e-brake checking" people. thats a pileup waiting to happen and probably one of the most retarded ideas Ive ever heard. the point of a brake check is to have ur lights come on and scare the person. but all an ebrake check will do is cause an accident. do us all a favor, put ur raging ego in the trunk before you get behind the wheel, and dont think too hard about things cuz all u seem to get is bad ideas.

hey I know. next time instead of an ebrake check, why dont you just get away from the person once and for all by just driving on the other side of the road. I mean ya theres on coming traffic but trust me they wont mind much. and plus then ur away from the guy who is pissing u off and you can totally speed ahead of him while ur dodging cars coming at you. seriously, next time try that. I dare you.............ur a pussy if u dont........... I tripple dog dare you with ice cream with fudge and a cherry on top.....but i dont think u will cuz ur not that much of a man. its cool bro you can do it or not, but everyone will just think much less of u if u dont.

Ya they may face charges, but then they higher the best lawyers and get off scott free.

My friends rich daddy got him out of alot of trouble when he was racing a Jag XKR in his M3 and they passed a cop weaving in and out of cars at 125mph. He got off with a few hundred in fines and a one month suspension. He was gonna be out his license for 2 years and pay 5 grand before daddy hired his lawyer.

Even the most straight arrow cops will have a hard time turning down a sum of money that will pay for their kids college. And I've heard of that happening b4. Law enforcement for the most part is simply not paid enough for corruption not to be a serious temptation. It sucks but its true.

Money = Power

Thats great nick.. I know and i completely agree becuase you have rich parents and you probably got away with a lot..


If he can get a good lawyer and get off easy good for him.. he still deserves to have his ass pulled over and arrested...

brake checkers i.e.... people who slam on their brakes to tailgaters, shouldn't have a license imo.. that is all. Just let them pass or ignore it. They will eventually get in trouble or pass anyways.

Brake checking is trying to damage someone else's car on purpose. I mean think about it, you are braking hard to get someone to slam into your car for doing nothing but driving faster then you are. I understand your are trying to scare them and have them back away. Speed up and get over and let the guy go. I have seen state troopers fly up on people and flash their high beams to get someone to move. If you dont move he will throw his lights on, and try brake checking him and ur a officially effed. So go ahead and keep brake checking cause when that person behind you doesnt brake and slams into your car and you both are doing 70 i bet that your a$$ is either hitting the wall or spinning out of control and its all your fault bc ur a douche.

O back on topic I have hit a swan doing 50 it landed right in front of my car out of no where, it rolled under my car got up and walked away. Then another time I was driving down Wambold Rd in Harleysville and a deer ran right in front on my car and slammed into the drivers side door of the car driving the oppisite direction on that road. got up and walked away also, door was so damaged he could not open that door. I was eff, deer 1 ford pick-up 0

For those that say brake checking is asinine -- I, flat out, think you're wrong.

However, there's a difference between hitting your brakes and STOMPING on them.

My idea of a 'brake check' is to hit my brakes for maybe a second. I don't mash the brake pedal to the floor and hold it there for five seconds with the intention of getting the guy to destroy the back half of my car -- I care too much about my car for that nonsense. Instead, I hit my brake pedal long enough to slow my car down by a few mph, and to make it plain to the guy behind me that he needs to back off.

Speed up and let the tailgater pass? That's like giving the kid whose screaming because he wants a lollipop .. the lollipop. Sorry, but I'm not going to encourage people's bad habits.

As far as the 'cop flying up on your ass' idea is concerned -- that's a completely different story. That's an officer on his way to do his job. It doesn't even remotely resemble some random, preposterously impatient, rude person that might as well be glued to your back bumper.

But hey, that's just me.

Whats the big deal of letting someone who wants to drive faster then you pass? Even if they are on your ass, you are being very dangerous to you and all the people around you. Just speed up, get off your high horse and get in the slow lane.
How do you know that person behind you doesnt have a valid reason for speeding and wanting to pass you, and you are gonna sit in the right hand lane, Which i remind you is for passing, and pull some bs of a brake check. I just hate that maneuver, its being an a** at its fullest.
As for the cop, how are you going to tell if its a cop at night, now a days with stealth bars and all?
