Angry 08 ISF Overtakes Two A**holes

http://youtu.be/UDz83HF6URU

I was driving my ISF on I95 heading north to Las Vegas. I overtook a few cars on freeway, including these two cars.

After like 5 minutes, these two cars overtook me again and blocked me for 13 minutes. We were all driving 5 mph faster than the speed limit. The driver on the Camry rolled down the window, gave sign to the left VW to stay with him (he/she shook his/her head to the VW, like if he/she said "don't let him(ISF) overtake"). I honked at them in the last 5 minutes, one person on the Camry gave me middle finger twice. In the last 2 minute, someone sprayed windshield cleaner and the liquid got on my car.



I'm still new to the ISF (it was my 3rd day). I downshifted once, figured that the rpm isn't high enough, downshifted again, same thing, .. etc.

Man I was pissed

Good job. Did you spray back while overtaking them? Can't imagine how PO-ed I would be if someone sprayed me, unprovoked like that.

I've never done it and never will (because I don't leave junk in my car), but every time I witness jackassery like that I desperately wish I had an old melted milkshake in my car that I could accidentally throw out the window onto their windshield.

^^^ That's exactly what I mean, road rage would be an understatement if the exact same douchebaggery happened to me like it did the OP. I got Windshield sprayed once by a friend joking around (let's just say, he knows not to pull it again), and thought if that ever happened to me from a douchebag, then I don't know how I would make any sound decisions. Sometimes b/c of this, I really want to invest in a dash cam. At least I can persuade myself to let it go since I have some sort of evidence to act upon, once I calm down.

It's a fact of life that they are jealous of you. Just learn to deal with it w/o getting too upset. yourself.

Come with the fact that they don't like you because you have an ISF.

BTW normal people with enough self esteem do not get upset if somebody drives by with a nicer, more expensive, faster etc. etc. car.

In these types of situation, i get very heated and am afraid what I may do. So I try and pull over and give myself 10 mins or so to cool down and let them get some distance from me before hitting the road again. It not worth bothering with people you will never see again. Let them pass and go on your own way, scum are everywhere and it's how you deal with them that makes you the better man.
