First time it happened to me that I got ticked off enough to do something I was drafting a semi in my 55 Chevy on I-26 on my way home from Charleston, SC for the weekend. It was something I did about every other weekend and I knew from experience that running with the trucks on the interstate was the fastest way to get from point A to point B and back especially since they always seemed to know where all of the cops were. Long story,short, the guy raced up and cut in between me and the truck, which wasn't cool to begin with, but was made even worse when he immediately braked hard and slowed down causing me to have to brake to nearly a stop to keep from hitting him. So, I changed lanes and went around him and resumed my place behind the truck. This happened four times before I got really steamed. The very next time I left more space between me and the truck for acceleration room and when the guy got at my back corner I down shifted and floored it. I could go from 4th back to third and bark the tires at 100 so it wasn't hard at all to do at 70 and get a massive speed boost. With the speed I got over in front of him and slowed to about 35. Everytime he tried to get past me for the next 10 miles or so I speed up and got back in front of him and slowed down and made sure he couldn't get past. He finally got off at an exit, whether he was tired of me playing with him or not I don't know. What I do know was that old 55 would run around 150 MPH (best I could tell from the tach as the speedo toppped out at 135)so not to many guys out there cared or maybe had the cajones to mess with me at top end.
The next time was on the way back up to Norfolk on I-85. That time the guy was riding the rear of my sisters Mustang so close I couldn't see his lights in the mirror. My foot never left the gas but shen I touched the brake enough to make the lights come on. From what I could see in the rear view he nearly ditched his car trying to slow down and still maintain control.
The way I see it too many drivers are passive to the extreem and that has it's place. Still people like the idiots we're talkin about are the ones that tend to get innocent people killed by being stupid..... Sooo, personally I have no problems messing with them in hopes of maybe, just maybe teaching them a lesson before they kill some innocent kid that just got their license and has neither the skills nor any clue how to give them a taste of their own medicine.....Disclaimer... The times I've done this me and the idiot in question were usually the only cars around so, no, I don't do it unless I'm in a situation where I know the only people involved are me and the idiot in question...

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Plow and Disc - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
