For the last two weeks almost every work day it seems that people have been trying to box me in on the highway. I started taking notice last week .. i noticed people speeding up behind me only to slow down and drive next to me on the passenger sides and people in front of me suddenly start driving 10 miles under the speed limit.. i don't know if they're trying to see what my two little boys are watching/playing or they're just being "pr1ck$"
and it's not paranoia because my wife was with me and she witnessed it too.
it's weird so i was thinking it was something new that Hummer Haters are doing

You're not being paranoid. It happens to me too.

You can tell when you overtake them and they match your speed or speed up when you go along side. I usually return the favor whenever I can get in front grin and all.

Gosh, it'd be terrible if you lost concentration and swerved over real close to them, huh?

Dug 04-27-2005 08:09 AM

I havent noticed that yet , knock on wood.

It seems like that stuff happens in cycles around here. The past 2 weeks were left lane blockers. This week people are pulling out in front of me. I had my card out ready to order that train horn...

Just to try to throw a different possible light on it, I've noticed that in my SUT, but even more so in my Prowler. In every case so far, it's just curiosity and usually ends with a thumbs-up or a wave. I just figure that both are vehicles people just don't see every day.

Tailgaters don't like it when I use my rear window wiper/washer during dry weather.

I do exactly the same thing! It works great!
Front washer works also!

It does happen! I get theat from time to time. Pisses me off when they speed up when you try to pass. Can't wait to have that extra 200 HP.

That works great, but so does turning on the rear lights from my rack. I've done that a couple of times already. That's only secondary though if the wiper/washers don't work.

I haven't noticed this phenomenon (hang on, got to change lanes)

But if I ever do (one sec, this jerk is trying to cut me off)

I'll let you know. By the way (just a sec, this guy is boxing me in)

Any ideas as to why I'm only getting 9.4 MPG?

PARAGON 04-27-2005 03:27 PM

You crawled around Moab and haven't since reset the mpg-o-meter.

That's too funny!! All this time I was feeling so proud of myself I thought I was the only one that knew that trick!!

I have been through the game playing on the road. I was boxed up good one day when 3 semi's had me on all sides. i just took my time and made them slow down till we were going about 55 in 70. I have been run right off the highway by people who won't make eye contact. they look straight ahead and change lanes like your not there.

We get lookers a lot, but Ken wasn't joking, he will veer right towards anyone being ugly. He doesn't care, then he will laugh at them and point. I hate it. I always get really embarrassed.

LOL! I love Ken.

I take great pride in spitting my chewing gum on the window as I pass by....It just makes my day after some old bastard cut me off. Kind of like leaving a pile of terd on the front door step....

KenP 04-28-2005 03:04 AM

Jason, that's great. Sort of like dumping the coffee out.
