Now he's driving a diesel so for about 200' he's spewing tons of black soot out of this giant cock enhancing machine of his. My son actually complained about the smell. :|

The douchenozzle in the truck flies up about 1/8th of a mile and then veers into the left turn lane to turn left. I just shook my head in disbelief as I drove past him at the speed limit.

How come there's never a cop around when you need one...:confused: It would have been so sweet to see that prick get pulled over.

Someone in that story certainly has a stick up his ass.

We get it Jules. You don't like SUVs/trucks. If it was a Lotus Elise instead of a truck your post would have been "OMG I saw a Lotus Elise! I have such a hard on for those cars!"

I find it amusing that you consider a diesel truck a "cock enhancing machine" yet would not apply the same label to a Lotus Elise.

As selfish as it sounds, I find myself saying the same thing every time I see an asshole on the road.

Let me tell you a story about the time there *was* a cop around while I was on the highway. I'm in the middle lane, doing about the speedlimit+5 in medium traffic. Everyone was just flowing along. All of a sudden, I see a Maxima flying at what had to be 85 or so in the right lane just blasting by everyone else. As he's doing this, a state trooper pulls on the highway *right* behind him. I mean there were no cars between him and the trooper, but the driver didn't notice the cop and kept the pedal down. So I'm waiting for it...cmon, where are the flashing lights? He HAS to nab this guy, he's doing 30 over the speed limit? Right? Right?


Maxima guy kept on going as the trooper just cruised along :( The one time there WAS a cop when I wished for it, he didn't lay the smack down...

I'll agree with you OP. Beefing up your ride is one thing, you get shitty gas mileage but that's your prerogative. The idiots like the one you're talking about are the douche bags. I used to live by a ton of them in the back woods of VT.

"Hey, look how bad ass I am!!" :roll:

Another stick story.
