i school a crazy montain man guy in a Yukon /w my camry
heres the story: my good friend and i are driving my car down reserve street and this crazy mountain man guy cuts me off in is Yukon. i honk, throw it into 3rd and hall ass passed him. aaron flips him off and i cut in front of him. he then accelerates trying to ram my car with his Yukon. i hang a quick left on 7th street going 40 mph and the guy is like 10 feet past the turn and cranks his wheel to the left to make the turn and starts chasing us. i through it in 2nd and floor that shit. we take off and race around for 15 minutes trying to shake this crazy guy in the yukon. at one point i was going 90 in a 25. we were running stop signs and powersliding around corners. we finally got rid of him by flying accross reserve st again and zig zaging through the residential area.
it was scary as hell but also hilarious whereas he was in a brand new Yukon and i was in a 91 camry and schooled the crap out of him. he was about 50 yards behind us the whole time until i started to outmaneuver him.
Great...what's next, Camry gets into road rage with a soccer mom in a minivan... The soccer Mom throws grocery at your car and forces you off the road...

i wasnt the one road raging man! the guy cut me off so i honked. its called being a defensive driver. he slows down and i pass him. MY FRIEND flips him off, not me. then the guy trys to keep up with us.
he also had his emergency flashers on most of the time
Yeah man, your going to kill someone. Being a defensive driver doesn't involve going 90mph in a 25 and "power sliding" through turns. And running stop signs. Someones going to get hurt.
I wouldn't really call it schooling if it's a Yukon. It probably weighs as much as 4 of your car.
You didn't say anything about him slowing down and you passing him. you said "throw it into 3rd and hall ass past him" That's not defensive. That's dangerous shit. You gotta watch out man.

well, he can have a rifle and have no intention of using it on you guys, after all, he is a mountain man as you say...
just like you, you're driving a deadly weapon, it's up to you to decide what you do with it...
but running stop signs..?!?
if you were smart, you'd turn right at the stop signs, and then turn right again, then left, then right, etc., that way he REALLY has to slow down if he doesnt want to tip over and shit, and you dont have to run them...
seriously, that's scary shit, and you could have injured/killed someone/yourself...
