A recent trend was brought to my attention by a hiking buddy. He saw a report of 'rednecks' targeting 'green' lifestyle people including cyclists.
They have outfitted their pickup trucks and SUVs to produce a plume of diesel smoke on demand and would drive up to cyclists and blast them in their faces as they rode along the side. They would also do it to Prius drivers by staying in front of them and activating the smoke screen.
They seem to be very proud of this and feel cyclists and other environmentally concerned people are robbing them of their right to use fossil fuels and they must attack these people.
WTF?!?!
There is an MSNBC report of it, but I can't seem to locate it.
I found this one on the trend...

Riding home today a cager passes and has his right blinker on. I slow down. This guy does the same but he has the right of way so I come to a near stop.
He then yells out the window "I'm waiting for you *******!"
Seriously, wtf?
