Angry Punk C240

Alright, this isn't a straight out KILL... but it technically is... it is more of me just venting.

So, this morning, going to work, traffic is kinda heavy, everyone is travelling about 35. We are on a 2 lane stretch on the 10 heading west, i'm side-by-side with a Camry or something... we both have about 2 car lengths of empty space, no point in tailgating during traffic. From the rear comes a light brown C240 with some punk hispanic (please, no one get offended) honking and flashing his lights... I'm like, "Whats up? You ain't gonna get any further even if I let you go." But, I slow down, and he squeezes between me and the Camry.

Comes up to cars in front, and he does the same thing. Flashing & Honking at all the cars. Well, this idiot is changing lanes like a crab (going sideways) and we both end up around the same pace.

Well, the idiot then tries to change lanes while next to me, and nearly hits me. Freakin' idiot is really pissing me off, so as I pass him, I gracefully extend my hand out the window and give him the bird.... got his attention like waving a steak in front of a hungry lion. So, he followed. And I hate tailgators, especially those who almost hit me. So.... I accelerate... he falls far back... he tries to catch up and squeeze between cars to get in front of me, but he is unsuccessul... betwen pissing off everyone on the freeway, and driving on the shoulder... he starts to pull behind me... so, I do what any pissed off driver would do, I just slam my brakes... boy, i never seen anyone swerve that fast. But, like the true idiot he is, he comes back for more...

Well, traffic is ligther now, going about 60... so i gas it.. he disappears.. idiot desperately follows... i gas it again... he disappears from sight... idiot continues to drive on the shoulder, and cutting people off... i finally said, i don't want to play this idiots game no more, so i slow to the rest of traffic, and let the moron go by... the guy slows next to me and gives me dirty looks as if I really did anything to provoke him (well, kinda).

anyways, just had to vent and see why anyone driving a benz would harass traffic and give us owners a bad name... the way he was driving looks like he stole the car..

anyways... for those who think i was wrong, flame away... i don't normally drive like this, nor do i have this kind of road rage... but this guy was just a D!@K

That's what I'm thinking, but if the guy keeps driving like that, it's only a matter of time. We'll just hope he doesn't mess up other people when it happens.

Hispanic in a Mercedes? Around here I would have figured it was stolen... Here in Reading, PA you don't **** off the Hispanics (Puerto Ricans and Mexicans) they will drive up and shoot you without even thinking... Reading beat East L.A. in per capita violence.

if i were you, i would have sped up a bit more, let him come up my tail and then slammed the brakes just enough for him to leave a dent.

Then i would contact ME and send you a replacement EURO TRUNK and BUMPER!!!
