He sees me coming makes eye contact and then leans heavy on the horn and aims, I'm not kidding, aims his car right at me. I mean he timed it in such a way that he'd just miss my rear wheel but- wow! Crazy!- and this guy looked insane.

A couple of other oddly aggressive drivers on the way home- seemed inebriated. Must be the moon.
You weren't the guy who said Boston drivers are no worse than others, were you?
