    So I was driving my Prius home on a rainy day and I was cutt off by a lifted jeep grand cherokee I think?

    I of course got very mad, and decided to ride his nice person to piss him off, well I guess he didn't take that gentley, it looked like he was in a hurry or trying to get away from me, so out of no where he passes the guy infront of him by going over the dirt on the left side.

    I calmed down and I was alright, but then I saw him on the red light trying to make a left turn, so I decided to play with him some more so I followed him, light turns green and he steps it, I don't know how an SUV could possibly be this quick, but I was keeping up with him because he had to slow down around the corners, then he takes a route in the mall, and after seeing me speeding behind him he realized that I am following him. All the sudden he started speeding and there we are going 60 in the mall parking lot, then I guess he got tired of it so he slams on the breaks and we stop. Then this big 6,5 guy in wife beaters comes out with a golf club in his hand cussing the shit out of me so I drove off.

    My point is are jeep drivers this hard headed to let drivers that they pissed off be able to pass them? We all have our road rage manners, I wanted to pass him because I was pissed, but are jeep drivers this crazy?

    I thought jeep drivers are usually girls, and I thought they are slow, Wth are they putting in these things now days?

    you're lucky you didn't get the shit kicked out of you.

    if you don't want to be confrontational and go hand-to-hand with some of these morons on the road, don't stoop to their level and engage in road-rage.

    thats a good way to remove yourself from the gene pool

    you see something stupid on the road, you have a choice
    react in kind,
    or smile and ignore it

    which way you react is a reflection of your maturity and intellect

    Learn from this experience. I'm sure you want to make it to 19 - reacting the way you did won't get you there. There are plenty enough idiots out there, don't add yourself to the list...

    you're old enough to control yourself and behave like a normal person. traffic sucks, get over it and move on with your day.

    and how would your mom feel if her car windows were bashed in because her kid was harassing someone? i'd come after your triflin' nice person with a golf club too if you followed me like that.

    18-21 year old males like you are the reason that 18-21 males like me have to pay so much for car insurance.

    Thanks. :rolleyes:

    You know, if you intend to be this immature and reckless while driving all the time you should probably get yourself an old jalopy instead of a new Prius.

    I understand perfectly that you need to work your insecurities out of your system by driving aggressively and challenging other people on the road. The transition between boyhood and manhood can be a real struggle.

    Then someday when you grow up a little, learn to check your ego, and get a job you can take another look at a new Prius.

    In the meantime you can save plenty of money on the aforementioned auto insurance by just getting the minimum coverage on your old jalopy. And when you inevitably total it (or get the windows smashed out by some guy with a golf club) it won't be such a big deal.
