Driving Fun

[Anonymous 11]

I’ve had an epidemic lately of idiots trying to pass me on the passenger side in the entrance ramp safety lane while entering various freeways around here.

3 of the times occurred when I was in my pickup truck. I maneuvered myself safely away from the morons though the bastards bested me.. The 4th time I got lucky as I was driving the Mustang. I said f~~~ it and punched the pedal. I immediately rocketed ahead of this fool. I entered a 55mph zone running at 75mph onto the freeway. The newly rebuilt and mildly enhanced classic 302 Ford V8 got me out of that one in a very much f~~~ you hell no way. It was exhilarating too which was fun for me.

That wasn’t the funny part. The car just behind the two of us operating in the proper lane as was I punched it too. The blocked off dips~~~ had to come to a rolling stop at the end of the ramp and wait for traffic before it was able enter the freeway. I was ecstatic viewing the dangerous fool in my rearview. Two cars had to drive around the dolt.

Thanks out to my unknown partner. We boxed that jackass.

C-Pig, I had an asshole from NY pass me on the right in the breakdown doing at least 80 mph! It was a gently twisting and winding section of rte 4 (Bridgewatter VT) I was going to move over to the right to see what was slowing things down, before I moved over I saw him in my rearview mirror and jerked back, had I not checked first, It would been an ugly collision with nowhere for him to go but share the guardrail with the assend of my car!

The next time it happened on my local road rte.9 (we dubbed “killer 9”), again I saw him coming and moved over to send him into the curb destroying his rims as they were chewed by the granite curbstones on that section, it’s the one road stunt that really infuriates me beyond my limit of control, ever since the event on rte.4 VT…
Try that stunt when I’m driving a combo and certainly someone’s eating a trailer. I don’t mind when bikes slither by they’re no threat to my safety, but a car doing 80mph, and you doing only 35, makes a recipe for a road fatality.
If these f~~~s had to see the carnage I’ve seen towing wrecks, seeing brains, scalps torn off from going through the windshield, knees shoved deep into the plastic lower dash, and chests crushed by the steering wheel, gurgling blood, the moaning and groaning of being extracted with the jaws of life, I bet they’d have a little more respect for the dynamics of speed, velocity, and impact. I can’t count how many times I saw a bloody white sheet on a gurney with some f~~~ed dude, or a deceased mangled body.
When you drive recklessly and fast, you die in an instant!

That’s really f~~~ed up Tower. These fools don’t understand one can’t drive that way in dense high speed traffic though backroads and city streets can be bad too. When I was a kid, a biker got killed on a brick mailbox in a 25MPH zone 500 feet from my door.

Hell, just today. I was driving down the same parkway as the above incident but a dry land part. I’m rollin’ along in the F150 at the speed of traffic 62MPH in a 55MPH. The next thing I know cars are braking in front of front of me and passing something real slow. I get there and this birdbrain was driving a scooter with some young women on the handle bars at about 35MPH. Real smart….

I blew the horn and yelled out the window how stupid they were.

Another recent instance had me on an Interstate with 70mph as the speed limit. I’m in left lane in the Mustang running about 75. This time a car with an elderly gentleman at the helm had stopped dead in the lane right in front of me;

A flat bed semi loaded with metal was safely merging onto the Interstate and freaked him out so he f~~~ing stops. I had to lock the brakes. Keep in mind, I’m driving older non-ABS brakes and had to modulate properly to keep from losing control. Good thing I’m old enough to have been raised on that braking tech.

It was in total fear looking through my rearview at the oncoming traffic praying it stopped as I was car #2 behind this meathead.

We’ve had 10 people die in 1 year along a 20 mile stretch of that same Interstate road.

Just this morning a guy got killed in a median strip rollover (I-91 MA) I heard it on the radio, whenever you’re forced onto the grass or soft shoulder ya tighten up on your steering like you’re on ice, I was cut off from a car that pulled out in front of me when I was going 70mph on a deserted country road, he didn’t bother to look, I went off the road and never hit my brakes, nor did I try to get back onto the road, I just held it as much as I could without drifting further off the road, three large oak trees whipped by my side view mirror within inches one after the other, since then I make no assumptions on what other drivers are supposed to do, I prepare for them to do the unexpected, and outrageously stupid! I stopped riding a bike around here because a MASS drivers license can be found inside a box of Cracker Jacks, plus like most other states they issue them to geriatrics from the Jurassic age. Some of them have glasses that look like Coke bottle bottoms in a wire frame, something you could start a fire with!
I believe in comprehensive driving training where basic mechanics and inspection are part of the curriculum, along with aggressive maneuvering, braking, and hydroplaning tests before one should receive a license, like I said, Cracker Jack drivers!
I started my aggressive skills with a 5 hp gocart tearing up the streets of Springfield, My friend and I use to corner with him or I leaning overboard doing power slides and drifting around corners, years later, we use to take my 72 MG midget and do the same thing, on the same corners! One time I was racing him in his Pontiac GTO on hard corners floored and power shifting, on one corner the rear tires broke loose and I spun around going 40 in reverse chopping my rims on the curb and standing on the MG’s notoriously lousy brakes when the drums are heated, I thought I was going to hop the curb and smash a tree, all through my rear view mirror.
I haven’t had my license revoked in 24 years, or a speeding ticket in this state for the same period, but before that I had a hard time keeping a license and spent a small fortune in fines, I never got busted for driving to endanger, those times I floored it and lost the cops……

Ah yes…Flooring it and losing the cops. Now, that’s an adrenaline charge you’ll never forget.

Modern cars are vastly better in so many ways, but I still like driving the older stuff too. No airbags, no video, and no safety nazi crap all makes one feel more of the driving experience plus you can actually fix it yourself. A friend had this 2011 Nissan with a software bug in the accelerator control. Sometimes from dead stop, he would push the pedal and car would do nothing for 3 seconds then slowly creep forward. Scary s~~~ is all I can say especially with the way the average driver pays attention.

This increasing drive by wire crap is letting people get by with fewer needed driving skills for emergencies though. When I had to hard brake that Stang, I could feel the tires gripping to the edge on the pavement and modulated the pedal instinctively to maintain control. ABS can still do it better than me though.

They should put people through handling courses to get a license or insurance discounts for others. We had some lame drivers ed. I taught myself some skills from reading and going out into a large empty parking lot on weekends and doing crazy stuff. Being a poor broke college student I had to learn to fix things for myself too.

I remember I had this POS Mustang II or stretch Pinto. This fat bitch told me to my face she would go out with me if I had had a better Mustang meaning a classic 60s or a new then 80s Fox body. I remember telling her I wouldn’t consider going out with her to her face. Even before that rude remark she was a whale so I would not have been so rude to tell her that directly had she not been a bitch.. I p~~~ed her off real good too. I got better looking babes than that fat bitch in that bomb car too so I was able to work around the handicap.

Not a fan of the drive by wire/steer by wire stuff. Someone, or something could hack your car and drive you into a wall.

@chauvinistpig and @MG-ɹǝʍo┴;
I’ve been through scrapes like you describe. It is due only to my lucky stars that I’m alive today. However, I did study up on evasive maneuvering and fast cornering which has come in handy a few times, I can tell you!

I saw a particularly nasty crash a few months ago (and I had been watching a few road rage videos on YouTube). I got myself a cheap dashcam and use it every time I pull out of my parking spots.

@rennie;
I completely agree. I do not like drive by wire at all. The way social media gets hacked — it seems like there’s a new one every month — we can fully expect cars to be hacked regularly. For a similar example, there was a recent news story about how hackers are getting into traffic control cameras and uploading license plate numbers. Today, they track your movements, tomorrow your steering controls.

I’m having to help a friend troubleshoot one of the wiring harnesses on his 2007 model Chevrolet after he busted the original from pulling out the radiator during a replacement..

Anyway, there are 5 groups of wires that all have the same color so imagine the difficulty of splicing in a new harness. It was really fun troubleshooting exactly which pair of the 4 purple and 4 blue wires ran the accelerator sensor. They had to go out of their way to make it as difficult as possible to work on yourself. We had to use a continuity check and random swapping to figure things out. We even had the harness wiring diagram from the shop manual.

We’re down to just not being able to go in reverse.

Roy, I should probably mount my camera as I’ve never seen this many road fools in such a short period of time. I don’t know what’s wrong with these people.

Hey C-Pig, I avoid front end collision cars when I purchase salvage, one model (I think it was a fully loaded Lincoln) the “crushed” wire harness was about 4″ dia. and some of the shorts fried the cpu, censers, and melted wires throughout the harness, not to mention steering dynamics and mechanical damage to the engine, I prefer a hard rear hit, where I splice a rear clip from the door post back, thrust alignment on rear wheel drive (coaster alignment on Front WD) is the only dimension that needs addressing aside from proper splicing techniques that insures the car will remain together in the event of a severe collision.

Hey RoyDale, I learned my aggressive driving skills in the expense of TIRES, ENGINES, AND WRECKS! One time I tried an emergency brake 180, (I did them all the time) The car was a 68 Torino with a 390, I never took into consideration the downhill slope and extra side slide, well there was a parked 73 Plymouth battle axe toward the bottom of the hill that assisted in the 180, transforming it to about a 270, Drinking, left the scene, they followed my antifreeze trail all the way home, I wasn’t even arrested after denying the whole thing, the evidence was not conclusive. But after the trial I was convicted for leaving the scene, but not DWI, I was a f~~~up no doubt, but those were the days before MAD (mothers against MG-Tower) and when used muscle cars were a dime a dozen after the oil embargo and during the late 70’s recession.

You should see the time I went figure skating @95mph with Olds 98, 455 rocket!

[Anonymous 11]

I remember those cheap muscle cars when we were teens too. My friend had a beautiful 67 GTO with a 428 if my recall is right. I was not there, but they got the car going so fast the front wheels started getting lifted off the road,

Danger is fun!
