Been A while

[Gotian]

Hey people, its been a while since i've had a race to post up since al the ones ive had recently havent been worth it. Well here goes.

I was driving to pick up my g/f from her new job and i was going the speed limit since i was recently pulled over for doing 110 in a 70 ; when this Acura TSX comes flying by next to me, I dont think much of it cause i know i can beat those and its the RL that i wanna race so i stay on my way. About 3 cars behind the TSX was a old 70's Camero that flew by me and cut me off almost hitting his back end on my front bumper. I slam on my brakes and honk my horn. The guy takes off.

I shift to 2nd all raged out and slam on the gas to catch up to him. I turned off the traction control cause i knew i was going to get wheel hop anyways and I started catching up to him. He had a good 4 cars on me when i started, 3rd gear ccame and it was down to 3, 4th and my bumper was having a reunion with his rear, 5th and i flew past the guy, went in front of him, slammed on the brakes making him do the same aswell and making him kill some life off his tires as they smoked up and made him go into the left turning lane. We got to the red light and i started yelling at the guy, who seemed really pissed off from what i did and since he has to turn left instead of going straight like he was aiming for cause he knew I wasnt letting him cut infront of me again. And to make matters worse I started saying that his V8 got beat by a little 1.8 four cylinder. The light turned green which was a good thing cause the guy looked like he was ready tokill someone, namely me.

That wasn't a race that was road rage and a quick way to kill someone. I understand how you feel. Shit like that happens to me on a daily basis but I just let it slide because you never know if the other person is on drugs, has a gun, or is plain psychotic.

It just isn't worth it.

Yea that's not cool. Even though that guy was being an asshole, brake checking him and nearly causing a wreck is not very smart. And besides it's because of that kind of stuff that makes my insurance cost so damn much. Next time just leave him basting with the fact that he got smoked by an import.

do we have to go back to the insurance stuff again? people like to say "it's because of this my insurance is high." NO, your insurance is high cause of your credit, the type of car, how long youve had your license and how old you are. But besides that, i'm usually calm when driving but when it's someone who does that and doesnt seem to care about it, it pisses me off. The fact that he hauled after he almost hit me shows me he probably would've ran if he did hit me and here in miami we have one of the highest rates of people without insurance, so that guy must not have had any. To me it looks like he took the car from his dad or something for a joyride.

[95z28m6]

some people just suck at life. That guy was just a asshole. oh well. What r u gonna do? At least u beat him.

[TerminalVelocity]

good rage! I used to just go into peoples lanes when I had my mustang. "Deaths Chariot"....they would usually slam on the brakes!

Now I dont....dont wanna fuck my car, my record, or my insurance.

[CassiesMan]

Yeah, I'm with all the people above. That wasn't a race, that was just a bitch move on both parties.

[VR43000GT]

Yeah, probably wasn't smart to do that but sometimes rage gets the best of us.

[G-man422]

road rage kills. so does crack.

Actually he's correct about the insurance. Had you caused a wreck, they would have taken the statistics that it was a a) teenager, b) import, c) in such and such city.. etc etc.

They use those statistics to determine rates.

[VR43000GT]

I don't think Gotian is a teenager is he? Regardless, he works for an insurance company (oddly enough) so he knows what the consequences are.

[Drifty]

he's not a teen yes. BUT! since you are under 25 you would be charged as a teen. you make it worse for everyone and i bet If you would have cause a wreck just because your age/ you would have been charged with aggressive driving, reckless driving and street racing and then.. i dont care it you do your own insurance or not it would sky rocket and you would have points on your licence.
so i must agree with cassiesman! and you need to calm down and stop acting like a dumbass

WHAT!?!?! Dude, he's your friend! how can you say that? acting like a dumbass? okay the guy was acting like a dumbass and pissed him off, you piss someone off you better be ready to deal with what the other guy can dish out right, well he was cruising along in that junker, almost hits Gotian and Gotian happens to be no ones bitch so he goes after the moffo and deals a little vigillante action. BRAVO IMO. I would do the same fucking thing.
Actaully I have and much worst. Ive tailled people, thrown shit out my window at people, smoked them and taken pictures and post em everywhere I can, Ive even gotten out of my car on a few occassions and gotten physical. (did I spell that shit right?)
Ive only had a gun pulled on me one time and I had to back the fuck down cause I cant stop bullets. Ive had bats and knifes pulled on me too but you already know what I do when shit like that happens.

And to the rest of you. Maybe its not a traditional street race I'll give it. BUT, he did match up against another car that was putting down some speed and even from 5 cars back managed to out-perform him right? lets at least give him cred for that. Its a dog-fight and he won it regardless of the reason it started.

Road rage? yes but Im not gonna call you an ass or anything. Just be safe bro, dont want nothing bad happening to one of my friends.

And on a final note. Gotian is an insurance agent so he knows the biss better then most of us. (in fact he is my wife's insurance agent and soon to be mine too) Dont listen to the bullshit that insurance companies like Geico and Allstate write about. maybe not 100% of the time but at least half the time they are just blowing smoke up our asses.
for example the Toyota Corrola and the Honda Civic where kinda pricey to insure in 02-03. I know cause my sis was trying to buy one.
The insurance companies could not come up with a good reason why to charge a high premium on the Corrola and the Civ so they made up an excuse. YES, THEY MADE IT UP!
they said that both cars had the highest rate of car theft in Florida. Since both cars had been so cheap in the past more and more people where buying these types of cars and insurance companies where loosing out.
Its bullshit that they had a high theft rate cause at the time I was finishing my internship with the U.S. Marshalls dept. and on one trip to downtown I ended up having lunch with the chief of the Auto Theft Recovery Unit in Miami. He was friends with my C.O. and we hung out for a few hours. He told me that those cars are never stollen, no one wants them. They get broken into alot but so do lots of others. He said that year the highest stollen numbers where BMW 5 and 3 series, Maximas, Explorers and Mustangs.
not what the insurance companies where reporting. he explained that since insurance comapnies are privately owned and government cant overview them then they get to run wild and run up rates whenever they feel like it.
wreckless driving, high rate of accidents, teenagers crashing. It dosent affect you individually. Your pesonal driving record affects you and your Credit and whatever else Gotian mentioned. But that crap about "people like you are the reason I pay high rates" no, no its not. Its because the insurance company wants you to pay a high rate and they come up with an excuse to justify it.
