There's plenty of room up ahead I know he's blocking me off specifically because he doesn't think I should be speeding. So I got pissed and passed him on the shoulder/exit lane and nailed it.
He catches up to me and highbeams me, leaving the brights on constantly. I flipped him off, then brakechecked him hard enough to lock up the front tires at 90...
Those Rams have good brakes.

The satisfying part about that... is that he probably spent 2-3 times as much money in gas trying to keep up.

Home and food were in a forward direction at the time.
Decreasing forward velocity toward home and food is counterproductive.
Besides, I'm perfectly okay with controlling my car on a striaght section of highway at triple digit speeds and if ever I feel uncomfortable, I will slow down... The only driving advice I will take are from experienced race instructor or the guys in the silver cars with the blue flashing lights... This person was neither and therefore unqualified to direct my driving.

. I was definately not trying to impede the dudes forward progress, but he felt the need to zip around and hit up the brakes. I'm happy my dad wasn't driving or he'd have prolly rear-ended the dude at 75mph.
one time one dude in like an A6 brake checked me in the middle of a speed bump when I was in my dad's jeep and he was going like 3 mph over the speed bumps, I was a little pissed, but in theos position, I can see why he did it.
yeah what he said
Suds.. thanks for everything.. the car rides smooth.. i took it up to 130 in 5th on 695 following a motorcycle.. shortly slowed down cuz of cops were in the area.. thanks again man.

The total has to be over $450 (if I recall correctly). And you get $150 credit for doing the work yourself.
They went over the receipts looking at every item, 3 times, and didn't count anything that wasn't directly on the car.. like the $10 wrench for the AN fittings. They also looked at the engine to verify the parts were there. When he was satisfied he did the paperwork for the waiver and embossed all of my receipts.

You never get the car back to what it should be . . . .
I hate taking my car to shops. I LOTHE taking it to emissions.
I hate letting someone you know will abuse the car have the keys . . .
