hah, I knew I'd get lots of negative feedback.
I wasn't going to run him into the curb, that'd be stupid because not only could he get hurt but he'd cause me to wreck into him, and I'd probably get hurt worse in a small car such as the '3.
I was already doing like 45 in a 35 with him behind me as I was getting going, and he flew past me. There was absolutely no need for him to do that. This is like the 10th time someone from Ill has cut me off or passed me at dangerous speeds. Everyone in my family has been cut off by an Ill driver in the past 2 weeks, and it has to stop.
If I was say, in a 1st gen Protege or MX-3 with the 2.5V6, I would have either beat him or just let him go. The 323's bumpers are pretty well made, and while I haven't crashed into anything, and don't plan to, if someone cut me off and I couldn't stop fast enough, I doubt that there'd be any damage to the 323, but I'm not going to find out.
Tofu4G63 - I recognized the kid, he's a freshmen, I've seen him in the halls. I knew perfectly well where he was headed, and quite frankly, if he went straight instead of turning the way that I did, he would have probably gotten to school faster.
I've never cut a single person off, caused someone to wreck, or cause agitation of them(they appeared to be having fun in both situations), yet people cut me off all the time, tailgate me all the time, and almost cause me to wreck. I know the limitations of my car, and if at any time I thought that the 2 people in question were headed for disaster, I would have stopped.
