Nice choice of weaponry.
On another I must confess that I've once harassed a motorist before. It was during a left turn, in a large intersection, so there were 2 left turn lanes. I was in the lane before a civic si; the dumb blond cut me off during the turn and kept on honking. I let her pass by going dangerously into the middle between both lanes before my rear tire tasted her bumper. I flipped her off and she had the nerve to drive ahead then stop twice abruptly so I would have a sudden stop or crash into her. Too bad she sucked at road rage, and I managed to grab hold of the pathetic excuse for a spoiler on her SI while her SI. She basically freaked out and started yelling profanity out of her window, as she couldn't drive that fast as there was traffic ahead of her. I ended up keying her trunk and spoiler and loosening the spoiler by pulling on it with force. I still look for that blue SI these days.

But I am; I just treat people as they treat me; the way they want to be treated.

in general i think hyundai needs to redesign most of their head and tail lights. more glare from them than most other cars, even if they just have halogen bulbs. when people put **** hid crap in hyundai lights, forget it.
and yeah, LED tails suck too if not designed properly. ****ahyundai. those things are pigs.

I tend to drop the F bomb, a lot, and often. And I have been know to demolish a pint of Ben and Jerry's if you stick it in front of me. Oh yeah, the smoking. ****, I almost forgot about the smoking.

I have bad habit of spending time reading through pointless threads like this, and then spending more time trying to figure out a witty response.

Caught up with a few Portlandia clips the other night. Oh, slices of life are abundant.
But yeah, bad habit---riding too far right, too often. Feels like the courteous thing to do, even though cars don't care.

I rage, I've been in multiple situations where people have pulled ****/hit me/reacted very aggressively. Some have been my fault, others havent. I carry my U-lock in my chest strap If i suspect I have a chip on my shoulder. I carry too much ****, I always have my bag and its usually heavier then it needs to be, I'm pretty good about red lights.
other **** i'll just keep to myself
p.s I also use a word that rhymes with bunt often.

I think it kinda has to do with the type of personality I have. I pace back and forth when I think. I naturally walk and talk fast. I'm constantly moving. I'm the guy who sits behind you in the lecture clicking his pen. I'm just kinda naturally high-strung.
Its not til I get to my destination (out of breath, of course) that I ask myself, "Why the hell did just sprint to the grocery store?"
I just have a terrible time pacing myself.
That's why I prefer riding with friends, that way they set a pace that's more comfortable and sustainable.
Of course the obvious solution is "HTFU"....but w/e.....

I'm in an half second of Potlandia, they were filming some stuff at the water front. Then sent me a release form. Silly show, but fun still. Over the top, but on the nose all at once.
I also do my best to pass tons of cars on busy streets way too fast and through tight spaces. Though I stop at red lights when there are lots of folks around. But run then with caution when traffic is slim.
That's while on the cargo bike, Oh, and I shot birds that are put on things to make art!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No really, I have guns and don't care for bird art.

This is me, except I would substitute "week" with "ride."
