Default Bingo! Haven't done that in 2 years. It's just not worth it.

The roads are full of *******s, and even moreso, incompetents and the inattentive. People will cut you off, honk their horns or flash their lights when upset, justified or not, no matter what you do. I just ignore them and drive away. If my car gets wrecked because of something they do and I cannot avoid it, well then, that sucks but **** happens. I've grown up enough to realize that.

Default "avoid all actions that could get you into a conflict between 2-ton high-speed weapons "?????????

Ugggggh.

<b>I'd really hate to live with my tail between my legs like that guy.</b>

If I'm in a hurry, and someone gets in my way, and I think I can safely get around him, I don't give a rats *** if he likes it or not. If he thinks he should be in front all the time, then he shouldn't have bought a non-turbo Volvo.

Default "doing that will aggravate the other driver" But who cares?

He cut me off, and I at least had the grace to give him lots of room.

I don't live my life to please other people who have done no right by me. I don't wear a robe to work and I don't take **** from other drivers.

Default Well........

I have fun driving aggressively - keeps life interesting.

BUT I don't risk my, or anyone elses, safety. Like I said 10 times in this thread, when I passed the guy, I gave him LOTS of room.

I suppose you're the guy who site in the left lane going 5 over the speed limit, not letting anybody pass, because you're "Going plenty fast thank you."

Default No, I know how and when to drive fast....BUT

from your description of the way you drive, others watching you will get the idea that Audi drivers are irresponsible fools.
