Argh!

truck ticked me off tonight! ***** was riding my butt the whole way home tonight and after we crossed the dam it break to 2 lanes going up the monster hill. so he whipped out to pass me on the hill so i mashed it to smoke him out and hold him off. started out as a great plan. then the truck either ran out of fuel or ran out of oil, not sure which but she started bogging down and losing power! CRAP! i hate when that happens! i backed off to about 3/4 throttle and it came back enough to hold him off for a while but he ended up passing me. we started at the bottom of the hill doing 30-35(limit across the dam) and crested the top at 75........ speed limit is 45 on the hill oops. now i guess i have to get the gauges out and see what i am taxing. great.... one more thing to the list. but hey! at least i got a transfer case now!! YYYEEEHHHAAAWWW! Four wheel drive baby!

That is the one thing that really P.M.O. is when people ride my tail. Since I have a flatbed I dont have to worry about a bumper or tailgate. I save fuel by hitting the brakes. If they want to pass I'll let em by. It really gets my blood boiling.

i wasnt even going slow, 10 over the limit most of the time. a couple of the earlier hills i gave him the exhaust brake.....lol he didnt like that but kept on riding me. i didnt give him the bird. at the top of the hill is a trafiic light and it was red. i got next to him and gave him an earful. he ran the light when i started hanging out the window screaming at him.

it was a 45 minute ride home with plenty of places to pass me. he chose to ride my butt the whole trip home. i made it very clear he was annoying me and he chose to not back off. then the little ***** decides to try and whip out and pass on a hill? i didnt even lose speed on it. he was a total **** the whole time. enough was enough. i had enough of his crap.

felt like doing this to him

Had a similar situation last night as well coon.

Thats why i'm going to throw on the smoke screen mod as well.
Dump some oil in that hot exhaust and Whamo, blue smoke him out at a light as well. $$
