Angry Road rage...

About a month ago I'm coming off an offramp and onto a road with two lanes. Both lanes have to merge down to one, so everybody lines up to merge one after another (1 from each side at a time). When I go to merge, this old guy in a red audi floors it and plants his car right next to mine...well the second lane runs out (leaving only mine) so hes stuck against the wall, only choice is to either ram me, run off the road, or stop. He stops, and as he lays on the horn I do as well. We exchange words, and I am totally taken by suprise. I mean this guy is livid, yelling things like "I see you cutting people off all the time!" "you a$$hole" etc.

For a while I've been trying to figure out what the heck he was talking about. With the traffic in the morning, I barely have enough space on the highway to drive non-granny style.

Well this morning another G-coupe (that I haven't seen before) comes flying up behind me, rides my *** for a while, then shoots off, driving crazy fast, and flying all over the 4 lane highway. So my first reaction is "damn, that guy is gonna get himself killed"...

but it just dawned on me, since I barely see any G-coupes on the road on the way to work, what if people just think we are the same car? I cant belive I am getting grief over what this kid is doing...

..sorry had to vent

cliffs
I get hit with roadrage from ppl who are cutoff by another G-coupe driver

Shrug it off to mistaken identity.

Guilty. I let people's inconsideration on the road get to me all the time, and I kick myself in the butt for it even while it is happening. I can't help it. Some people just deserve to be beaten.

What color was the G? Ive seen a IP with clear corners with a guy in his mid 20s on the highway more than once. First time late at night he went by at about 120 I was doing like 80. Then like 2 weeks later on the same highway I saw him during the day weaving in and out. I rarely see coupes so when I do I get excited but every time I see him, hes driving like a shmuck.

LOL! Same with me. Guilty also. I try not to let it bother me, but it always does, at least a little bit. But like you said, " Some people just DESERVE to be beaten".

When ppl get mad at me, I just Smile and Wave . They always seem to take that well.

Anyways, one day I'm gonna get me a big A$$ truck and when someone pisses me off, I'm just gonna run right into their side. haha.. i prolly won't, but it's fun to think about it.

I'm with you on that one...I also find blowing them a kiss really goes over well. Very satisfying to see the super pissed off look on their face!!

DG will do that to ya. That's why some of us always pick on DG, it's so easy to be mistaken for another when you have clones everywere J/k, don't even know what color the other G was. Some of those old people don't even have an idea what type of car we have.
