Funny, just last night a fairly homeless looking guy walked past in the crosswalk at a light, was smiling and looking at me, I thought oh boy here we go, but he got past and said 'Nice, I haven't seen a red one yet'.

I am not a big golf fan, but do not think I have ever been that close to a green.

We have a local golf course with a great undulating road alongside, get the speed just right and you get a bit of air...I've both driven by, and played there, hoping someone else would do a drive-by. You could almost fit your Lotus on the cart path, but of course, you never actually go that far.

Playing devils advocate, are you a tailgater or did you do anything to provoke this response? I find it strange that this occured twice in a short amount of time. Just curious...

It gets good about a minute in. But at 4:30 it goes full street justice.

^ one of my favorite videos on YouTube.

Ever.

I especially like the lines "You can't outrun a pickup!"

... and then they get stomped by the Bimmer.

I agree - a true favorite with me too.

We agree on something, but take that out of context quote off your signature or quote the whole statement from McCain.

I had some drunk kid try to spit on my car as I drove by him tonight. What a tough guy.

exarkun1178 · 09-13-2008, 05:57 AM

that was a great video!!

jds62f · 09-13-2008, 06:56 AM

Wow its a video I haven't seen! Great video but the skeptic in me wonders if it wasn't setup. I mean, what are the odds?

Bavarian Motorist · 09-13-2008, 07:07 AM

So is that what haters do? This guy was probably just cruising along, thinking about his destination, and these guys have nothing better to do than to talk about him for 5 minutes straight? My god... Haters really need lives.

Morons!

Sometimes I think they do it subconsciously. It's like, life is bad, I'm driving a crappy car, have a b*tchy wife, annoying brats running around, and you get to run around in a fun little car. Ya it sucks those people don't understand that life is all about decisions and that could be them in the cool car if only they had made a few different turns in life.

It's been debunked a thousand times online. Entertaining video none-the-less.

^^^ Nice

I used to get upset when folks in "normal" or otherwise sh*te cars would cut me off, etc. etc., then I realized I could not say or do anything worse to them than what they're already having to live with and I laugh it off 9/10 times. LOL!

A hater who happens to be a policeman/woman is the worst.
