So you think that beginning with an insult is the proper way to join in
on a conversation? After such a statement, guess how much value I put
on your opinion.

"Did I mention Death Wish was one of my favorite movies? Hint, Hint :gunz"
You and me both.
Death Wish? Was that the one with Emilio Estivez?
J/K I liked the one where Bronson played a watermelon farmer and put
that Ford truck through hell. I remember Ford even turned it into a
commercial. Can't remember the name of it.
My favorite Bronson movie was Hard Times with James Colburn. Also
liked The Magnificient Seven.
I better stop or these guys will think I am as old as you are 37L1!

Pagerdaddy.. Classic Bronson, It was Mr. Majestic & when you watch it again take notice that the F150 somehow briefly rebuilds itself into a Chevy.

I hear you! It was probably like The Dukes of Hazard where they had 12
extra cars on standby. Always liked the way the car would come down
after a big jump and you could see the fenders caving in! But a split
second later it went roaring down the road good as new.
Can't wait till 37L1 moves to Tennessee and we get to introduce him to
to our fine southern culture, like the two liver cheese sandwiches I just
finished.
Many years ago when I was young(er) and stupid(er), I had this... "friend".... who had just bought his 1st new car. Had not even made a payment yet and got rear ended sitting at a red light. Saw the loser in the 3 color primer pick-up coming and the idiot was not even looking straight ahead. Could not move out of the way. Got smacked good.
My "friend" got out of the new car and walked up to the driver of the POS truck and asked him, "What the F***". "Whats wrong with you, watch the f****** road." Loser said with beer breath, "awww... accidents happen man". "Friend" notices beer cans in the cab. "Friend"... snaps. "Friend punches loser through cab window dead in his s***. Loser bounces off the passenger side of the bench seat and comes up sitting normal again. "Friend" lets him have it again. Loser bounces off seat again and gets real scared.
Loser crawls out passenger door, crosses street to nearby hospital. Tries to call cops but hospital staff think he is a drunk nut. "Friend" calmly calls police and reports being hit by a drunk driver. Police show up and loser freaks out on them because they won't arrest my "friend" for hitting him twice. Police arrest loser because he is ranting and raving and drunk or at least pretty buzzed. Police ask "friend" if he hit the loser. "NO" says the "friend", loser must have hit the steering wheel with his face when he rear ended the new car. "Just look at the beer cans all over his truck officer, smell his breath", friend says. Cop says, "lets see your knuckles buddy". "Friend" swallows hard and shows cop his fists. No marks or cuts. "Friend" thinks it was a good idea to hit the heavy bag alot in life because knuckles are pretty tough skinned.
"Friend" breaths a sigh of relief and gives the finger to the loser as he is hauled away in the back of the cop cruiser. "Friend" also is glad loser will not ever know where he lives because address is not the same as on the license after recent move and he lives 3 hours away from accident scene. Losers insurance pays off and "friend" gets car fixed.
My "friend" realizes he was very stupid....and lucky, and does not recommend this course of action in an accident. Today you would probably get shot. Have spoken to "friend" and he realizes he can not react this way ever again.
I've got a friend with nearly the opposite story...
He was following a guy (probably WAY too close), and the guy kept brake-checking friend. Guy finally brake checks friend hard enough for friend to smack into the back of guy. (Friend driving his brand new sports car, guy driving a pickup.)
Guy jumps out of his truck, friend jumps out of his car, friend tosses guy to the ground and bounces guy's head off the pavement a few times.
Friend got arrested for assault, cited for following too closely & being a dope.

True story!
I've heard stories like that about Lyle Alzado, but I think it was the steriods.
A lesson I both taught and learned: Never challenge another person/driver unless you're ready to get hurt.
Scenario:
I'm driving near the U of Arizona in my Tundra last summer, a tiny car pulls out of a parking lot right in front of me and I need to ram on the brakes. I honk the horn and we both get stuck at the light. A little California chippie is driving and her probable boyfriend jumps out of the passenger side, slams the door, and comes stalking over to my door. The b/f is about 18 or 19, all of about 5'7" and a buck twentyfive soaking wet. He storms up to me and I calmy step out and he starts yelling at me like a banty rooster. I give him one good hard jab to the chest and he suddenly notices I'm over 100 lbs heavier than him. I say, "You just realized what a large mistake you made, didn't you? Why don't you get back into the car before you're embarrassed and think twice about challenging strangers." He mumbled what might have been an apology and got back in the car.
I think he learned his lesson well and I was glad he learned it with someone as restrained as myself. My lesson at his age cost me three stitches to the left eyebrow

Hehe... Must've had LMS - little man syndrome. Ain't they cute?
I was going down the highway and an eighteen wheeler with a mud flap ripped half off threw a rock and busted my winshield. I got an opening and sped up to get the info off the truck. (I can't afford another claim on my ins. My wife totalled my frontier about two months ago.) Well a dallas cop radared me at 78 in a 60. I pulled over and was unable to get the info off the truck. The cop comes back and asks for my licence and insurance, then walks to the back of my truck. Came back, had me sign the ticket and when I tried to ask him a question he ignored me and walked off. I yelled at him three times and honked my horn, still he never acknoleged me. I go to pull out on the highway and he cuts in front of me causing me to hit my brakes to avoid rearending him. After watching him in the highway I counted at least four traffic violations he commited. But does he get a ticket, HELL NO. So I call his supervisor. He says he will address it and get back to me. Have not heard from him yet. Another sargent told me to call Internal affairs, and since his sargent did nothing, I am calling IA. and reporting him. If you are a Dallas cop you don't wan IA calling. Dallas cops already have a bad history and this will just add to it.
