I didn't know "cutting up traffic" is a thing…

…and most of the idiots driving like this on YouTube are BMW owners. Embarrassing.

One of these a$$hats misjudged his space, lost control, and hit my car with my wife and me in it. He flipped his car and it slid on its roof for 300 yards or so. He walked away with a broken car and scrapes. My car went off the freeway, through the air, and into a tree at 60 mph. We are happy to be alive. But, when I see this kind of $hit I just cringe thinking how this kind of thoughtless driving can ruin people's lives. The Fast and Furious franchise isn't really helping here.

End of rant....for now.

I had some ass clown do that to me in my Tacoma a couple of months back. He was driving like an idiot cutting people off. I guess I closed the gap faster than his perception and math skills were working. the front of his Dodge Charger didn't look to well after he hit the concrete barrier. I took a little damage to the front corner of my bumper cover. Progressive is paying for a nice aftermarket off road bumper and new head lights from the check they had to write me.

Yup. Where are the dumb ass cops when you need them. Oh, that's right. They are writing me a ticket for no front plate. Typical

I had a mustang try to do that a few weeks back. He didn’t have enough room but I closed the gap anyway so he wouldn’t try. Of course he then tried to engage me. A new M8 saw what was going on and got in the game. I imagine there was an epic ending but I got off the next exit.

They LOVE to do this on 95 down in Miami. Last time I had to drive down there was a big ass benz, I'm guessing like an S500 or something like that, doing this shit. Plus down there the traffic is way more compact, I mean there was double or triple the space between cars in that video than there is down in Miami. Total douche bag, but then again that seems to be 90% of the population in Miami. Can you tell I hate that place?

Unrelated kinda, those guys were obviously weaving in and out on purpose, however I couldn't help but notice all the fucking left lane zombies blocking that shit. There was plenty of space on that road that probably most of those people on the left lane didn't need to be there. Just morons all around fuck I need to go back to the woods!

...rant continues:

I got up this morning and I'm still pissed about this video. These guys watch too much Fast and Furious and play too many video games. They are not living in reality. In a video game, you crash and magically you are just going again. That's not real life.

They do this stuff because they think it’s fun, but they also try to bait other performance cars into…what exactly? Traffic is too heavy to race.

I was just out this morning (Broward, not Miami, but no diff). Black grand Cherokee with some kind of Hemi motor by the sound of it (don’t think it was a Trackhawk because no hood bulges) weaving in and out and punching it just to hear his engine. When they come by i just keep steady in my lane, and try to leave space for them to get by and not send me into the ditch. This one also got a thumbs down from me out the window as he flew past.

These people belong in prison. I would have no problem with 5 year minimum mandatory sentences for anyone participating in this crap.

This is unfortunately too common in NY, more so from BMW drivers. I don’t have an issue with people opening it up on an open road with no/minimal traffic, but what I witness all too often in NY is done with considerable traffic. No need to put innocent people in danger.

And on that topic…sometimes I just want to go out for a relaxing drive but can never do so in peace. I’ll look in my rear view mirror and see a car speed up behind me with an offset license plate and I’ll immediately know what’s up. They tail me, pace me, and then decide I’m too much of a wimp to give them the attention.

I swear, the damn ///M badges attract all the crazies. Not a day goes by without some asshole trying to engage me. Honestly, very rarely are they BMWs. I normally get a nod, wave or thumbs up from fellow BMWs. Hondas, Mustangs and Range Rovers seem to be the majority.

I would urge you not to engage mustangs. They are by far the worst drivers. I was at a cars and coffee event last weekend and I have never seen more irresponsible driving in my life

I don’t engage with anyone. I usually just kick it for a brief second if conditions allow, then back off, look over and laugh and flip my hair.
