IDK why, but when I read this, the first thing that came to mind was the visual image from "The Fly" where Jeff Goldblum has already transformed and is now vomiting on his food to digest it... yeah, gross.

I want a caliber, just large enough, that would be able to puncture the rear tires on the car/truck of the idiots in front of me that are there only to take up mineral-space in the universe, 'cause they ain't driving well enough to qualify as life forms...I don't want to kill 'em, just find out if they have enough brain-cells to figure out they have two flat tires that aren't being fixed with a shot of air from the local "Gas&Puke" station...

And, that's assuming they EVEN REALIZE that the tires are flat...

I'd prefer a 105mm...or a phaser, or disintegrator

I think that aggressive driving has a LOT to do with what kind of car you're driving...if you have a lot of horsepower...you're gonna use it! lol

Thats pretty true....however, you can use a lot of horsepower without having to risk hurting anyone or driving aggressively....then again when old people are in the way going 30 in a 55....run them off the road!

I agree. The 300d I never drive agressively, but I find the car naturally relaxing most of the time.

I have noticed some aggressive tendancies when driving my X5, I hate to admit it.

It all has to do with stress and how people deal with it. Usually a good scream at the top of my lungs does it for me when it really gets bad, but some can't cope.

My worst experience was with road rage was with a woman who pulled out in front of me while leaving a Wal Mart parking lot. I managed to stop in time, but she got out of her car and started screaming at me like it was my fault. If I knew what a crazy b#$% she was I would have just plowed into her thin drivers door, 90s blazer, and collect full retail on the X5.

Seems like the scourge of society shop at walmart...I've had some bad experiences in/around those stores as well.
