That was a totally stupid, assinine thing to do. Is tailgating you worth hurting or killing someone? How do you know the idiot tailing you didn't have a kid in the back seat? If someone is tailgating me I'll slow down and make them go around.

K, If the idiot tailing me had a kid in the backseat, he shouldn't be 'tailing' for one.

For 2, he was a grown man, and he was taunting me and my friends by cutting us off and randomly pressing his brakes. It was a 4 lane highway when he started to be an idiot, I had no intention to start reckless driving. I was merging, he didn't even get over I got behind him, passed him eventually going about 75mph, he comes along and cuts me off hitting his brake so I thought that meant "Lets go!"

I have no mercy for stupid, idiotic drivers that do careless things. That includes me at random times. What ever happened to being an aggressive driver?

Yeah, if the idiot tailgating you was stupid enough to have a kid in the car is that going to ease your mind if something bad goes down? If I get near an idiot I just get away from them. I don't have to do the macho thing and prove I'm the better warrior. So you did it with other people in your car? That blows.

Holy cow... That boat... Do you race professionally? And you got up to 121 with a boat attached? Jeesh! I have to agree that I4 is a dumb place, but it seemed like the HHR SS rode lower than the stock ones so I am not sure about its handling. I don't doubt that my PT could whip it in the corners because of the setup I have, but the straightaways would be a joke. 260 horse to my 170...
