Karma's a Bitch

[John84]

Me: Driving in my dad's 2003 Chrysler 300M in the middle lane of a 3 lane road, stopped at a red light
Him: Sitting in his Ford F-3500000 complete with a raised suspension and obnoxiously loud exhaust.

An old woman begins to cross the road, and isn't moving fast enough for the guy in the car on my left, so he does the rational thing and starts yelling at her because he could lose a precious 5-10 seconds out of his life. So I hear this jerk-off yelling at this lady who's doing her best to cross as fast as she can, and I finally get fed up with it, roll down the window and say, "Hey buddy why don't you leave the old lady alone?" Apparently this phrase is extremely offensive to him and he goes ballistic and somehow decides that he needs to challenge me to something so that he can prove how manly he is. He asks me, "Hey ya queer, wanna race?" Normally I wouldn't have said yes, but out of the corner of my eye I spot a cop car waiting to pull out of a parking lot, onto the road we were on. So I agree and as the light goes green this guy floors it, and sure enough, within 5 seconds the cop's sirens are on and he pulls the guy over. Needless to say, I laughed the whole way home.

nice one. sadly, it is pretty rare that folks like that actually get what they deserve. we all get a little hot tempered sometimes... but then there are those folks that need to cross the line... and not just cross over it a step, but pole vault themselves across.

Oh man, that's great stuff. Good job

Awesome! First, good job defending that old lady. Second, way to be observant and quick to accept the "challenge."

You think you could have taken him off the line? ;-) Those F350s are a load and a half...

If he had a chip in the truck, then I don't think that 300C stands a chance. Otherwise it's a 50/50. Most people think they're great behind the wheel, but I am suprised how many people I can "hole-shot" at a green light without even trying. Not racing mind you, just a "beat ya' through the intersection to 30 mph," wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

Where I used to live there were a lot of intersections where they stack two lanes of traiffic and merge them after the intersection, so "victory" goes to whoever gets to the other side first. One guy was so desperate to prove his manhhod he passed me on a double yellow after the fact. I was impressed. :roll:

Kudos for spotting the cops.

nice

Good point. If he already lifted the beast and upgraded the exhaust a chip is very likely too.

I only thought of it after watching them do the same to a lifted F-150 on Trucks last weekend. The chip with a Nitrous system brought the stock 5.4 liter to somewhere north of 400 hp. Sweet.

I had a '99 Jeep TJ that I lifted 2", put some 31x10.5 BF Goodrich ATs on, Optima Yellow Top battery, and a few other little goodies. I had a laundry list of things I wanted to to with it, chip included. Its amazing what chipping a car or truck can do. Unfortunately I chucked that laundry list. I traded my Jeep in for a more "family friendly" vehicle. Some day I'll take another pass at my dream Jeep....

John, good stuff!

Please tell me you also saw a Dallas Cowboys sticker in his back window



Awesome!

Unfortunately no. However, he did have the sticker of the kid peeing on the Chevy logo.

He didn't seem like the type that had alot of knowledge about cars. I figured he got his truck lifted because it was compensating for a certain shortcoming of his.

With out a doubt.

Yeah, I think those come standard in the "Git 'er done" edition

Paul beat me to it - !!!

John - as a 'Skins fan, this could be the highlight of your season.......

Nice job, btw........

Wonderful!

It's heartening to see someone young like you who has the sense to let others screw themselves.

Your lucky he didn't pull a gun

It crossed my mind, but at the time it didn't seem like there was much chance of that happening.

Thanks, it's my M.O.
