Why oh Why...
Do people in small cars feel the need to ride my butt and then complain because my truck has to work to get up a hill and it does puff a little bit when there is about 30% load(know this thanks to my handy dandy DashDAQ) and they get so irritated. One was a speed demon broad that thought she could beat me(she couldn't) and the other one was in a sports car with the top down. I'm sure I helped support their way of thinking about a diesel being a mobile "coal fire plant", but I think I did help them reconsider the slow moving vehicle point of view.
I just don't know why the feel the need to get that close and then complain about it(waving hands like you would do to fan smoke etc). I wasn't trying to smoke anyone out, had I been trying they wouldn't have moved after I left for a good solid minute.
Oh well.

You know the old adage about the nut behind the wheel. Seems a mental Jekyl and Hyde thing with some people - thus road rage.
Some folks just have this urge to carp and complain all the day long. They need a forced vacation to a third world country to see how most of the world has to live, maybe whine less, when back home.

Apparently not and the troublesome thing about it is that the population of "stupid" people is growing and growing and pretty soon they are going to outnumber us "ration" folk. Scary days coming ahead that's for sure.

tex - at least you're down in country where the normal folk still out number the stupid on the road. as much as i dislike yankee country, the people are generally nice. until you're headed down the interstate, then intelligence drops about 50 pts automatically.

Problem is we are getting that influx of yankees down here too. Everywhere I go and they bring their bad(very bad) road habits with them. Now I grew up in the big city and I'm used to making "holes" to merge into the other lane, but wow some chances I just don't take. Not even if I was in my dad's 911.

Please take them back, I sure don't want them here. Send them to Jersey if you have to, I just don't want them here.

You could have one cut you off into the ditch, come out yelling and throw a punch at you, then you knock them out and get SUED (but dropped later because HE threw the first punch).... but thats another story.

No typically, I just get the finger then that's it. People associate drivers of DRWs as gun owning hillbilly hicks(although I am not a hillbilly hick as I was born and raised in the great big city of Dallas, but I do own a gun) and thus don't do anymore then the usual finger(atleast with my experiance).

The guy who came at me was in a Nissan fancy car thing, and was in a business suit in downtown Toronto, and I was in an old F-350 gas job that would backfire more than it would run right (ahhh, the joys of working for small business') I personally assume a DRW driver is a horse farmer/rancher or huge redneck. Not going to lie.

Dammit. I hate to feed that assumption, but guilty.
