Im only 34 and in my 20s i was the worst! My best friend and i even pulled a cab driver out of his car after we caught him at the light. I did a lot of dumb stuff too and thank God i didnt run into the wrong guy with more than just a bat if u know what i mean. As of now i had a guy the other day catch up with me at a light after some "spirited" driving to tell me...."why do you have to drive like that? Why do you have to make your car sound so loud?" And he was dead serious. The old me would say go f**k yourself but the new me just said...."because i can" and just drove away! I didnt buy an M5 beacause i like cruising at 20mph behind some slow POS car, i enjoy it every minute i can.

I had an incident once that taught me a great lesson, self-taught you might say. Many years ago in Berkeley when I was in college I was approaching an intersection and the light turned yellow - I debated whether or not I should go through but then I decided I better stop because I had enough time. The guy behind me apparently did not agree with my decision and laid on his horn a long time as if to tell me I should've run the light so that he could run the light too. I don't know what got into me because I'm normally mild-mannered, but something inside me snapped. I jumped out of my car and confronted the guy. He was in a little MG and really didn't know what to do with a crazy man standing in the street screaming at him. I stood over him cursing and yelling saying what the F is wrong with you - I'm not going to run a light because you want to. He just slumped down deeper into his car and said nothing. After I was finished venting I turned around to go get back in my car. However when I had jumped out of the car in a blind rage I had forgotten to set the parking brake and my car was slowly rolling across the intersection since it was a slight downslope. I went from self righteous anger to total humiliation in a millisecond. I had to chase down my car, open the door and hop in as it was rolling. I felt like the world's biggest idiot. Thank goodness at that moment there was no cross traffic and I was able to get in and sheepishly drive away with my tail between my legs.
I think about that time whenever some bonehead driver pulls some stupid move and I chuckle to myself and let it go. Since that self-inflicted lesson I have not come close to losing it on the road. |

Some B in an e46 convert called the cops on me because I took off from a stoplight. Cop pulled me over and said she's probably just mad bc you have a nicer Beemer.
On a side note I do keep my torque wrench behind the drivers seat just in case. |
