Well... maybe a little imature but... Driving home from the ex's to see the granddaughter... there is a stop light that is on an incline.. enough that my big ol El Camino would roll back into the next county if I let it. I allways seem to get caught at it and so end up in neutral with my foot on the brake.
Woman pulls up behind me in some little 4 wheel drive station wagon thingie.... I mean RIGHT behind me.. She is on the phone of course and searching for something in the car of the utmost importance.
light turns green... I start to heel to the brake and gas and slip the six speed into first..
she stops her frantic search ane with her free hand (the one not holding the cell phone), she lays into the horn.
I decided that she wanted me to leave rapidly... brought up the r's to 3 grand and dumped the clutch.... feathered the throttle so that I would stay about still and not roll backwards.
When I got 25 yards away I still couldn't see her get out of the cloud of fragarant dunlop tire essence... I really hope those sticky dunlops picked up a lot of loose rocks off the pavement along with all the little black rubber flecks.
Oh well... gave her something interesting to bore the person on the other end of her cell phone with.

SUE-EEETTT!
As it should be. People like that should be pummeled
-
Feggin' awesome...and I bet the ole Camino didn't even break a sweat.
-
Yeah, those type of people tick me off.. just like the ones who climb right up your arse tail gate you then pass you ont he right side and then cut you off to make that left hand turn. :mad:
I sat though one light lady was blowing the horn just as the light turned green. Heh she was mad I made her wait though another light. :rofl

No joke lazs - if you wrote that story up like a movie script and titled it 'Eau de Dunlop' I'm willing to bet that Dunlop would consider making it into a commercial for the Speed Channel or something.
It is a very sweet mental picture. :)

You guys shoulda seen it... really... you could not see her car through the smoke.
I might add that my son had just given me a pair of new dunlops that are sitting in the garage as we speak... might need em sooner than later.
Glad for the reaction from you guys... was afraid I would be chastised for imature reckless behavior... the only kind I am capable of I guess.

Classic!
-
That was immature and reckless...
and I wish my car could do it.
-
LOL
I think Laz just got at least 10 years younger!
Man I can picture it! It could only be better if her windows where down.

maybe you shouldn't be in the left lane going slow?
-
I hope her windows and sunroof were open.

my thought exactly.
the only thing I hate worse than slow cars in the left lane are women putting on make-up, or doing their hair while driving.
a few years back I got stuck behind this woman doing about 30 on the freeway, at 5:30 pm. she was just this rolling roadbloack that I ran into as soon as I got on the freeway. couldn't even get around her for awhile because of the traffic and the fact that she was going about 45mph slower than the rest. when I finally was able to get out from behind and start to pass I look in her rearview and she's putting lipstick on. so when I was almost past her I swerved the car hard towards hers and then back. just enough so it looked like I didn't see her and was going to bring the truck over on top of her. she panics then gets back in control after she realizes there is no emergency. it was very satisfying to look back in the mirror and see that line of lipstick running up her face.

Nothing immature about it. What's immature is those slushbox pukes honking their horn when it takes you more than 0.05 seconds to start rolling after a light.
-
That's got to be a whole lot more satisfying than my tatctic. When somebody honks at me at a red/green light I usually all of a sudden have car problems that last until the light turns yellow/red. The amazing part is that the car gets going again with just enough time for me to go through the light :lol
-
I have no horn. (http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/contrib/edoom/puppy_dog_eyes.gif)

I check the horn when I get the car or when I rewire it. can't say I ever used one tho.
funked probly has the best idea of what it all looked like tho.
lazs
-
I can hook my horn up, but it has a weak connection - so if a little water gets int here, the horn will go off and the only way to turn it off is to unhook it again.
I still have my finger though, oh... and magic markers and paper for more colorful expletives.

I had an 84 blazer. K5 fullsize. I loved it, it was beat to hell, but ran great and was fun to wheel. So I am sitting in my room trying to sleep when this horn starts going off. I wake up and I am pissed. This was common at the time, some losers where always setting of there car alarms.... lol.
This was a steady horn blast.... I finaly got so anoyed I went out to see what the hell was going on and it was my blazer, and the horn was going and smoking lol. So I yanked the wires.
Same blazer I had to cut the AC belt of with a Kbar cause the clutch or something froze and the belt would just slip on the pulley with a horrid shreak! lol.
Most fun I had with that blazer was at Pismo, lol I swamped some poor jerks in a toyota by hitting the stream right next to them at 35!

There's a time and a place for everything... that was definately the time and the place.
She probably got your license number and is going to sue you for exposing her to tire smoke.

Did she catch you at the next light? ;)
When I was 16, I smoked my tires on my 442 but didn't see some cops going into a place for lunch on the other side of the building on the street I laid rubber...got a reckless driving ticket. It was reduced to an "unnecessary acceleration" :)
-
I LIKE IT:D :D :rofl
-
That's fediddlein awesome. I'd love to hear the stories she's going to tell all her friends. You'll be made out to be the anti-christ or something while she did nothing wrong.
-
Gawd that brings back memories:D
I was always doing watermelon like that to people.
Did it to an unmarked cop car once though:eek:
He found no humor in it.:(

Tell the rest of the story Lazs2- You then pulled out one of the 1400 handguns that you own and shot wildly into the night air as you sped off reciting the 2nd ammendment.

WTG.

A Dunlop commercial in the making. Contact them and the Man Show, see if they can work something out. Oh, and make sure they show the lady on the phone coughing and gagging as the light returns to red. :D
Oh...and thanks Acid. :cool:
-
Ya know.... I contacted that "first network for men".... They asked what "men" wanted to see on their network...I told em the things men would like to see.
Apparently... they have a different idea of what "men" want than I do.. They feel that men are bar hopping star trek enthusiasts concerned mightily about how to dress for a date. Men apparently want to sit and watch a bunch of guys in silk outfits playing basketball on trampolines.
I felt that men wanted to see things like the little exhibition of speed thing or ... shooting a variety of firearms out in the boonies.. Or reviews of escort sevices or.... movie reviews of good movies... or building up hot rods on a budget in the garage or how to use different tools or... How to reload your own ammo... Cool jobs that men have.. That sort of stuff.
Guess they think more men are like davidpt40 than are like me.
They may even be right or.... their network may die and they won't know why.

Thanks for the story Lazs, wish I could've been there to see the look on her face. "oh my god, martha, you wouldn't believe what just happened...!"
