Yes, I admit I am a SpeedFreak. Please feel free to take a look at where I spend my time when I wish to race.

The war stories are very entertaining and in its own definition was set up for discussing of any races you may have particpated in. The thing about a race is you typically have two people that have chosen to participate in competing against one another. Was his post a race? No, It was someone irritated that the car ahead of him was going 5mph slower than the speed limit and decided to intimidate the driver by following at a unreasonable distance. re: Right on his bumper. Was it a race when the Beemer pulled off? Not that I can tell, He was likly tired of the Titan riding his *** and attempted to distance himself a bit only to find the truck owner chasing after him.
I'm sorry you feel I was preaching at you. If you take nothing else from my post please follow up on your insurace to determine the extent of your coverage before you take to tailgating or should I say racing right on the bumper of a luxury car.
AUUSN,
I'm typically not one to preach, but wished I could prevent someone from making a mistake they would soon not recover from.

In so far as your telling me to Shut the Fcuk Up I guess you had the right to say it. Your serving our Country and I appreciate what your doing for me, and freedom of speach is one of the most basic rights we have. There's no hard feeling and whether it matters to you or not I forgive yah for cursing me.
In so far as my own story
Ive never been in a at fault accident either, but my life was changed due to someone who assumed that distances of less than 4ft from me was a comfortable distance to follow.
I had to brake quickly to avoid a child, and the car behind me couldn’t respond fast enough to keep from hitting me. The impact pushed me towards the girl I had so desperately tried to keep from hitting and as a last act I managed to direct my truck away from the her but it placed me in the path of oncoming traffic. I fought to regain control of my truck but it was far to unsettled and my only thought was attempting to keep from injuring those around me. When all was completed I was left with injuries I will likely suffer from for the rest of my life and a truck which was totaled.
I hate things turned out such as they did, but the girl was uninjured and I wouldn’t wish things any other way.
If you wish to race go ahead, both parties know the risk and are willing to take them. My opinion on the matter is there's never a good enough reason to attempt to influence another driver by following on there bumper. Your taking to many things for granted and using a 4500lb vehicle in doing so
Do as you wish though, Its your dollar.
