Mines a 4At to suite the wife...........
Her version telling me when I got home from work.
She was driving in the wet & a truck came through the intersection running a red light. "I hit the brakes & they started thumping on the pedal but I stopped before the truck rammed me"
"Thats good honey, now do you appreciate the extra expense of buying this car".?
My turn.......
Cruising along at 120km/h down a motorway. Traffic speed averaging 90-100km/h. Dude changes into my lane only 15m ahead. Wife screams, I swerve into the dudes lane, past him & back into my original lane in a flash.
All over & done with before screaming wife runs out of breath

Ok i guess, that not all that happen. ok imma just just post how everything what happed. ok
Ok so what happen i was coming back from my grandma's birthday party, when i was driving home i was almost about to be their 3 minutes or so. And some guy or girl dont know followed me in my neighborhood, he followed me so i got scared and turned off my headlights and tail light and day time running lights so he or she couldnt find me, then she or he turned his or hers off, but the dumbass didnt know that the day time running lights were on, so i was getting away and as soon as i turned mine back on, i saw him or her turned back on so i drove as fast as i could going through gears going 60mph in the neighborhood. I know im not supposed to,! any ways he or she kept following me, and then BOOM! turned off all my lights and speeding through sub-divisions, getting a little sideways happy, but not reall just a little bit. Finally i lost him or her. but now im scared he or she is gonna retrace my steps and try to find my car and mess with it so for tonight im on steakout with my paintball gun, yeah i know! not a real gun, hopefully i can scare him or her away and follow him or her get his or her license plate number and call the cops on him or her. Im sorry guys if i pulled a stupid stunt but i got scared and my heart was bumpin and adreneline kicked in, so i was basically freaking out!

You were probably driving like an *** and cut someone off and they followed you to scare you (which they succeeded at evidently).

Plus, everyone know that you're more hardcore for committing a felony with a weapon that won't really help you in real life.
You don't know how many stupid bitches I've scared by following them after they almost killed me or ran me off the road.

yokohama, you can't learn to intimidate, you just do. Next time, rather than run through neighborhoods with no lights, just head towards a police station. I know you KNOW where the cops hang out too (if the station is too far) so just be smarter.
I mean think about it: Your story was full of reckless driving, lack of common sense, disregard for anyone else AND you carry a useless weapon that will get you jail time. I bet if we got the other side of the story we'd hear about how reckless you were and how this person felt the need to follow you (perhaps they were on the phone with the police) and you just freaked out.

Yeah your right thats why i was on stake out so i can their license plate number and call the cops on them. Also idk why they followed me, i didn't cut them off i used my turn signals, i wasn't speeding. also why would they turn their lights off after i turned mine off.

well, it begs the question: What makes you or you car so important as to REQUIRE someone to follow you in this manner? Also, do you know how long you were being followed? Is it possible that they were following you longer than you realize? Perhaps by the time you knew you were being followed you had not done anything but 15, 20 minutes before that you were out with your shenanigans and THAT'S when they followed.
1. You pissed them off at one point
2. They wanna rape you
3. They were bored and wanted to see how far you'd go
4. Your car is so pimped out that people want to steal it to smuggle coke to and from the border.

My 8 really saved my 
this morning! I was driving 70 mph in the fast lane and following about 4-5 car lengths behind a Corvette. There was an 18-wheeler on my right quarter panel and some good distance to the car behind me. A Toyota Camry had crossed the opposing lanes and was sitting in the median waiting to get onto my side of the highway. The Corvette passes him and the jackass turns out RIGHT in front of me - no hesitation, he never even saw me. I threw the anchor out and came, literally, within inches of his rear bumper. I have no doubt whatsoever that had I been driving any one of our other cars, I'd have been sitting in his back seat. Thank you, Mazda.
