Big lifted diesel trucks tend to do this in my area. Must be a small dick/short guy habit. The squatted trucks blind everyone coming or going.

Funny you posted that. Must be a tic tock trend going. Just last week in south Mass on a 2 lane highway had an Infinity coming at a high rate of speed in right lane. Was attempting to pass on my right to cut me off. Waited until he was even with me at 75 mph and stomped it. He tried to outgun me but had to shutdown as guy in right lane was doing speed limit. Pulled behind me rode my ass and waited until he could right lane pass me again. Rinse and repeat, but this time he passed the right lane driver in breakdown lane. I’m like wow, this is a menace for sure. Off he went at 90+ mph and I want back into mid 70’s again. Not 5 miles down the road State Police had him and the guy he passed in breakdown lane was stopping to talk to the cop. Somebody had a bad day! ?

... I have a feeling my black truck with the tactical gun cases on the roof rack looks a bit too much like an O.P.P. SUV coming up on them. ?

O.P.P. = Ontario Provincial Police (County Mountie)
Glad you clarified that. I know O.P.P. standing for something else :sunglasses:

Spare rear facing windshield washer pump, nozzle, reservoir filled with hydraulic oil and skunk essence. You'll be smelling failure for miles after miles.
This is how I drive behind JDowns to avoid his defences….

While driving to dallas to see a nascar race from south texas we took toll roads from san antonio to way past austin.
Wish i knew the roads better but i dont, east side of san antone and austin area, speed limit was 85!!
So the ranger did 90 for a good long while! Mpg got dumped, im not big on them anyhow, still want that f250 with the godzilla engine,
But the ranger drove awesome! We easily got passed by people doing 100, and we where doing 90!
I love the speed limits here, west texas has 85 for speed limits too
Only problem is chevys, they just do there best to stay at speed

the guy in the white truck needs to go to jail
the guy in the car needs to relax.
I agree. I hope there were no major injuries caused by the white truck.

When someone tailgates me on the highway for no good reason, that's the perfect time to run my windshield washers. After all, a man's gotta see where he's going, right?. And funny thing, the car behind ends up running his too, before dropping back and/or changing lanes. Works every time.
This! That is how I found out they forgot to add washer fluid to the ranger when new. The first tailgater for the new ride got away without having a half-ass'd frontal only car wash.

Maybe its old age (I like to think its experience) but if someone wants to go faster than I am and its possible to get out of their way, I do so. I've seen too many road rage situations end badly.
