Actually, I would probably never do that myself and I never have, but still if he messed with the wrong person (with road rage issues), it certainly could have been a posibility on that busy road.

Should of had your girlfriend flash her ******* at the dude.

But seriously, we've all been young and done stupid things. I remember when I was speeding in a parking lot, with my brand new exhaust, and didn't know there was a cop there. Needless to say, we went for a little ride downtown. But that's a different story.

Kev are you some kinda superdouche? I'm pretty sure you're the ricer here.

Sure enough, the people behind us started getting irritated and eventually pissed off. Traffic starts building up and people start figuring out what we're doing. We eventually reach our exit and as we lane change into the exit lane, my friend opens his window and starts waving good-bye to all the people. We got a few people lay down on their horns and half a dozen middle fingers. This is when we thought it ended, but we were wrong.

Two cars followed us off the exit, a jeep and a minivan. As we slow down for the red light, the jeep driver pulls up alongside me LAYING DOWN ON HIS HORN and at the same time, flipping me off and screaming his head off. My friend and I make the right turn on red and floor it out of there. At this point, my friend is in front of me and the jeep and minivan are behind me. A little worried, I turn quickly into a gas station. The jeep and minivan decide to keep following my friend. My friend realizes he's being followed by maniacs and pulls into a shopping plaza and circles around the parking lot to see if they would still follow him. He basically had to make a few sharp turns to lose them, but he eventually did. Some crazy road rage fueled driver's out there.

Hey it might not be his car. He may have lost his job & had to sell his car to feed his family so he had to borrow one from a friend who turns out to have a ricer. He may be doing errands for his sick mother or on his way to a job prospect.

Then here comes a couple guys in a Mercedes giving him crap...just not right. Even for entertainment purposes.

Looked like a clean Prelude. That C320 is the first car for which you’ve been wholly financially responsible, yes?

Perhaps your definition of "Ricer" will have a more appropriate usage in kevblah’s future vernacular.

That was pretty stupid. With road rage and people freaking out across the board, you
don't want to be the thing that puts somebody over the edge these days.

Yeah I didn't think he was a ricer... Although throwing a bottle of water was kind of dumb... a finger would have been enough, or ignoring the situation would be very classy IMO.

and looking at that girl in your car, she doesn't look interested in all these at all...

(you can tell by how her legs point, {toward you, yes} {away from you, not interested or she might be scared from trouble you are currently causing}

To place some perspective around things:

To those young & old farts that are bashing Kev. I think you have forgotten your youth or never had one anyway. We ALL do dumb things when we are young and many of us when we are older. I defy any of the holier than thou's on this thread to say that they have never done something dumb or that they regret. Thank god for the youth and how refreshing to find people that are not endlessly conservative & socially & politically correct. They are the most boring people on the planet & fortunately seldom all that successful - i.e. tend to be mister very damn average. The successful in this world all have some maverick in them & wunderbar - they irritate some people.

Wealthy America with it's huge per capita income is the only country in the world where youngsters drive Benzes to school. No young person in my country and most others could afford to buy one or run one. They are simply too expensive.

So be happy & not hypocritical. You live in the land of the fortunate.

Yes - and obfuscate the issue to the degree of no longer telling the truth.

A certain person who disagrees with me appears to have withdrawn his post. In his profile he is a self confessed "tax acct., big nerd" - I rest my case - I guess if the cap fits - wear it. The cap was obviously a good fit.

Glyn, I chose to remove my post because I thought it was a little harsh, and I'm not too interested in getting in a pissing match.

Yes, I disagree with you, and it seems that most people on this thread do as well. I don't see any reason to forgive this as "youthful indiscretion", when I don't really see anything funny in the video (his claimed justification), nor do I think it's an intelligent way to have fun. It's more his inability to reflect and say, "Maybe that wasn't such a good thing after all" that I find the most idiotic.
