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
