A couple months ago I was involved in a rear end collision (although not involving brake checking) and I'm still feeling the effects of it. Chiro three times a week, massage once a week. What's the worst that could happen? Depending on the speed, people could die. And really, are you willing to total the back end of your S just to send a message to some stranger? Personally I'm not.

I'm sure you realize that the video was staged.

I don't think you'd ever see that kind of conduct in this area, because we're all rednecks, and too many of us have carry permits.



About 25 years ago I actually had a guy draw down on me in bumper to bumper traffic. Pretty scary!


I know, the link in the corner of the vid describes that they were just goofing around. The biggest clue is that the "rednecks" were driving a Toyota.....

But still awesome!

Dunno about a NOVA bias, but I have also been in some sticky situations, even if unintentional - on the toll road, doing about 65, the asshat in the lane next to me decided to change lanes, sans blinker, doing about 50... 10 minutes later down the toll road, same thing happens again with an escalade

Only had one person yell at me from their pickup while the top was down, but couldn't hear them over my tunes
65 on the toll road? Wow, my avg speed on the toll road is about 85....
