Are any of you one of those guys that tailgates virtually every other vehicle?

[280Z Turbo]

One of my buddies in college rolled his... twice

Another got his on two wheels on an exit ramp.  That is nothing I ever want to be a part of ever again.

Consecutively?

You know what's more annoying that HIDs? Today I passed a cop on the side of the road with his spotlight on. A couple of other cars passed by and then he pulled out (assuming he had just finished a traffic stop). Those other cars ended up turning off at some point, so he was right behind me with his spotlight still on. Luckily it was still light outside so it wasn't really a big deal, but annoying nonetheless. Plus I had to stick to the speed limit.

I caught myself tailgating the fuck out of left-lane campers this past weekend. Actually, I thought of this thread. I think it somewhat helps that the GTI has an aggressive front fascia and HIDs.  

Thing is, it's effective at getting those fuckers to move over 6/10 times.

I was super aggressive this week.  Today in particular.  They got two Mississippis before I made a move around them.  I actually did have a Golf get out of my way when I was going to pass him on the right though.  

It is amazing though, how many "aggressive" drivers are so poor at moving through traffic.  They don't look forward.  They drive up, slam on the brakes, drive slowly, and then move right or left to pass.  Whereas if you're looking forward, you can move right or left to pass without ever having to slow down.

I thought I was going to get rearended today. I took off from a red light and a woman in a Rogue accelerated in lockstep with me very close to my rear bumper.

But there comes a time when I have to do the 1-2 shift, and during that break in acceleration I thought she was going to make contact.

Why can't people just chill out. The following light was red anyways.

Consecutively?

Nah, rolled it once sophomore year, once junior or senior year.  Well, one time it just fell on its side, but I'll count it .  He had the thing lifted slightly on 33 or 35" mudders.  Go blasting around fields trying to get stuck.  When you do stupid stuff so frequently, the odds of something stupid happening increase dramatically

Exactly right.

I think that it happens to most people.  Worse with pickups.

Opposite with me. Pickup = no fun to drive (on road) = why bother trying to go as fast as possible? Small car/sports car is the opposite.

Unfortunately there are a lot of wannabe blue collar hero "manly men," presumably not-well-endowed, who disagree.

I came across one, but it was a "manly woman." We were in stop-n-go traffic, and she would allow some space to develop between her truck and mine, and then pretend to ram me by flooring the truck and then slamming on the brakes just before hitting my bumper to intimidate me. My windows were open, so she was also yelling out her window to me "you pussy ass bitch" etc.  

The upper-middle class dude in the Mercedes next to me thought it was hilarious as well. I thought it was a bit scary-hilarious.

Did this happen in NOLA?

[Colonel Cadillac]

Yup. She was definitely an out-of-towner, though.

Probably on testosterone supplements. Nothing is more aggressive (or comical) than a butch dyke in a rage.

An obnoxious cab driver blared his horn at me today, evidently because I took longer than .0000002 seconds to react to a green light. The strange part was he didn't even seem to be in a hurry. I left the line in 2nd and he just vanished in my rearview. Not an easy feat in the Aveo.

...and I doubt you're a slow or nonresponsive driver...

I give people at least 5 seconds before they get the honk.

5 seconds!? 

For me it depends on the light.  Average men's reaction to a traffic light is 1 second, for women it's 3 seconds.  I bridge the gap and give them two seconds on most lights.  There is, however, one light that you will sit at for five solid minutes if you don't get through, and it's a 15 second green or something ludicrous like that.  Four cars can get through if they all jump at it and the fourth guy enters on a yellow.  That's a half second.  Once I get to "1 Missis.." it's on the horn.  Throw your hands up at me like "I was playing with my cock/flicking my bean/smacking my clam/texting, what do you want from me?" and you get fucking followed home, murdered in front of your family, and eaten by a pack of wild dogs.

I have been passing really slow cars on the motorcycle on single lane roads with double yellow lines. I can usually blow around them pretty quick, sometimes not even crossing the lines. This is probably stupid and illegal. But satisfying. 
More satisfying than yelling "Get the *uck out of the way, you ignorant SOB!"
