I thought he ment that "BMWS are not that expensive". Hence why the road rage if they are cheaper then a new Camry XLE/Accord? Like all I am trying to say is that you can find BMW 3 series 06-07 for around $19k or buy a Camry XLE new for $23k. People will think the BMW cost way more then that Camry XLE. "Oh you have a BMW?". idk

You both are stupid and inexperienced high school drivers, who think they are "all that" because they got their license, and have a new sense of freedom, etc. Believe me, I was there, I'm in college, and I know what you are thinking. I've gone through my "I'm king of the road" phase, and occasionally not let tailgaters pass, but I was always safe about it. I've heard of stories where people get out of their cars and kill the person beind them or wherever because they flipped the driver off in front, or because they honked their horn at the driver in front.

It's not something you joke about. See above about weapons. Even if it is a joke, the way you talk and defend your 'actions' doesn't make it sound like a joke and makes it sound like you actually drive like this.

Word.

And don't pull any of this "I'm sorry I offended you" shit, I wasn't offended, I was just annoyed when I read this.

There is a simple passive/effective method of removing people from tailgating your rear.... just give you windscreen a good clean and they cop all the crap right in the face. If that doesn't move them (and you haven't been overtly aggressive) then do it again. They soon move on. Everything else I just ignore...

Man I'm so glad I'm not the black sheep of the forum anymore!

This is always an interesting subject... Yes, it is somewhat stressful when someone is tailgating and I think it?s human nature to want to respond with a reciprocal negative reaction (brakes, speed, craziness, etc...). A couple times recently I tried something different. I simply turned on my blinker, pulled over for a second, let them buy, and then continued on my way. The stress was immediately diffused. It's especially gratifying when you know you have a much more capable machine and you could have responded in an aggressive manner.

Now, having said that, you might think I'm a lame duck BMW driver... Not the case! The Eastern Washington country roads routinely catch a glimmer of a platinum grey machine flying by at exhilarating speeds!

You don't know me. Please read my entire post and you will find I am a rather defensive driver.

But you're still up on the list.

You wanted me to read your first post in this thread? Because I read it, and still was not convinced that you are a defensive driver, with the way you made "the U-Turn fly past him gunning it in 1st and 2nd gear and flick him off." Then on another occasion, you are "so pissed," you "just dump the clutch a FLY out of there in 1st rocking out the tires." Sounds very defensive to me. I realize there are some very stupid drivers, hell I'm pretty sure I live in the city with the most red light runners in the world, but that is not necessarily the way to act on the road.

And no I don't know you, I'm sure you are a swell guy, and lots of people on here seem to like you, I was just pointing out my observations and opinions.
