Damn right I was ticked off when he started slapping the Datto around. You should have seen him jump when I blasted him... He probably wasnt expecting such words from a harmless looking guy like myself.
Thanks for the support... I am a very passive person, but I can make myself heard if I'm rubbed the wrong way. Not too sure about clubs and chains... hey whatever works for you ;) As long as they are for self defence :) not bashing up cars like what happened at Nerang here a few days ago! I normally give way to buses... but yeah some of them expect you to have some sort parachute mounted in the boot. Trucks I usually give space when they are trying to get up a hill, but other than that they got no excuse for tail-gating. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod F" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 9:28 PM Subject: RE: Road Rage > I drive a Camry (work car) but I don't have a death wish.
