i thought everyone in Texas rode horses and wears cowboy hats
and not to mention ..wears guns on our hips
atleast this is how we are portrayed on television.

Don't forget the turrible accent they always give us.

LOL....I got raged on just last night. This dimwit decided to stop half way down the exit ramp so he could cut across a solid white line and make a quick turn into a restaurant area. I almost plow into him and the cars exiting behind me are all trying not to plow into each other. I honk my horn at this retard to get him to move on off the exit ramp. Oh no...he is not going to drive an extra 100 feet and turn into the next entrance. He would rather pile up traffic, risk causing an accident and make an illegal turn than to drive 100 feet further and make a legal turn. So anyway...as I am going by this tard, he flips me off...LOL....of coarse I turn immediately into the next turn with plans of beating him down...LOL. My daughter starts giving me crap about being the mature one and telling me to move on. So out of guilt I drive on and let it go. I really wanted to pound that guy...LOL.

You have to be more subtle. Wait until they park and are out of sight. Then stuff a potato up their tailpipe(s), being sure to poke them in real tight and deep (a cut off broomstick works well). Then, when they come out to get in their car to leave, rather than being angry, you will not be able to keep from smiling. Works every time.

And here all this time I thought a banana was the right choice!

Only because my 28 year old daughter is more civilized than me. Your right though....the guy flipping me off was more of an instigation than actual road rage.

I like the way you think. I would have had to ditch my daughter first and she wasn't about to let me out of her sights at that moment...LOL.

I love that about bikes, that's also what I like about a responsive car. I feel a lot safer knowing that I can put myself anywhere I want to be quickly and reliably. Back when I drove an old Passat I felt like a sitting duck.

I once saw an old lady stop on the on ramp to I-35 in Austin, the guy in the 4x4 truck behind her pushed her car up the embankment before continuing on his merry way. I was so busy laughing I "forgot" to get his plates.

Good thing your daughter was there. I will not hesitate to shoot someone who tries to beat me.

The bananna up the tailpipe is a hollywood legend from Beverly Hills Cop. A potato works much better. Trying to stuff a banana in the tailpipe causes the peel to separate and you end up with less of a tight plug seal than with a potato. Jabbing the potato with a push stick causes it to conform to the tailpipe and retains its rigidity longer. A spongy rubber ball also works but is almost permanent. The potato will shrivel in less than a day and will eventually blow out. A spongy rubber ball would be really mean. But spongy rubber balls would keep better in the trunk over an extended period of time.

All true, but we don't have a rubber ball or potato icon...
