Sounds like the fellow was having a bad (hair?) day? A few are close-to-the-edge, you were right to wonder what was up. Some folks, like to share or include others, in their own misery. No thanks, I'd just nod and leave as you did.
just heads up about large loud guys,not all are pussies.One of the guys i ride with is huge,very loud,and can be very violent if provoked,of course we all call him a pussy
Having a bat in your car is okay if there is a glove and ball to go with it. Who gives a fuck if you play ball or not....
So, you,ve seen him before...so he lives in Solvang, Santa Ynez area. You may want to keep a real eye out for his car. Hopefully it's not a silver Honda, but anything about it that will make it stick in your memory will be a plus. GET THE LICENSE PLATE if you ever see it again. In the heat of an encounter it will be hard to waste time trying to look at his plate. Try to get the plate # on YOUR time, not his. I would guess that this jerk has a police record. He didn't start acting like this yesterday. It is always better to look the other way and just get out of there. The problem is that all of us has had something like this happen to us and, you know, it just pisses me (and you) off that some asshole is giving you shit when you are guilty of just minding your own business. I'm 56, have all my "ducks in a row" for the future and I could loose it all or the freedom to enjoy my "golden years" doing as I please if I over-react. I had a similar encounter about six weeks ago. Some dork starts waving at me like I had his wife on my dashboard wearing some tassles and a gold G-string. I slowed down and rolled my window down (which I should NOT have done) and asked him what his problem was. He started going off on me about "almost" hitting him. The problem is that there were two cars between me and him when somebody else moved into his lane...and he just went nuts on me. ??? I slowly drove away watching him in my mirror. He turned onto another street...BUT, if had had followed me, I was going to go a few blocks further and drive into the rear of our police department, where they have 24/7 security cameras. The four cameras are also monitored by the dispacther at the swithboard. I would have loved to have taken this fucker to school, and to be honest, it really bugged me for days that I didn't get out of my car and confront the guy....But, I'm sooooo glad I didn't. I hate, just hate, letting this stuff "go"..... We all have too much to loose...jail, law suits, shit, maybe you'd even get thrashed... GET his plate...look the other way. You did the right thing.
after reading these posts a few things come to mind ,first being 1 you draw your firearm you better be prepered to use it. 2 the stick with the inscription "A bone security" will never be able to be explained away to the law. 3 you have an A bone coupe how much swinging room do you think there might be inside that coupe .
A girl I know has the best weapon, she is admittedly an incompetent driver so she often annoys her fellow motorists and when they yell and cuss she brandishes her Mentos candy and smiles. Just like the goofy commercials they almost always crack a smile, no bullshit here! I have witnessed this firsthand while riding with her! Of course it helps to be a cute little girl though.
Actually, that's the best time to do it. Makes him think you are crazier than he is. I just smile, wave, and remember... your car door makes one hell of a hammer, it's already there and you gotta open it anyway.
Ahhh Yes Life in Fucking California I tell my wife to always lock her door This why I DON"T DO DRUGS!!! I think there is alot I mean alot of drug dammaged people out there just don't look at them then they don't know you can just jump out your car and cut there fucking Troat!!! I remember what a old Hells Angel told me one if you get in a fight make sure they don't get up!!! Here in Dago we only have 500 cops maybe,... The streets have not been repaved in 4 years and gas and house prices are through the roof I personally piss off someone every other day I drive 40 min each way in bump to bump I just keep my head straight and don't look around they still get pissed off, Fuck um...
In my younger days ive rolled around in the parking lot more than once.................but.........in todays age, dicretion is the better part of valor. I pick up the LA Times and it seems once a week some guy gets shot over a similar incident.......the days of duking it out are gone.........it a mad mad mad world
You can even buy those at Harbor Frieght, I've seen them there cheap. I have a leftover old V8 camshaft laying on the floor of my daily. Looks like just junk car parts. Probably would take more than a few whacks to a skull to break it. I used to carry what I think was a railroad car handbrake handle for a lever handbrake that I found along the tracks - because it had a hook in one end and looked like a walking cane. I like the idea, if you're going to have something like that, that it has a hook or lobes to make it hard to pull out of your hand. I suppose while the guy was yelling wouldn't have been the time to ask him if his "roid rage" is from steroids, or hemmoroids....
No wonder he was pissed... You're 18 and have a kick ass car like that?... I'm pissed at you too! Just kidding man, don't worry about shit heads like that. Your heads obviously screwed on straight and that's all that matters. I do worry about having a car that stands out and how that definitely makes us more conspicuous. BUT it's also good to know that because we are so conspicuous we will have more people behind us if something like this happens.
The sucky thing about stuff like this is that as said many of times here on even this post alone, you just dont know what to expect from a situation like this. I think for all intended purposes, you did fine, YOUR STILL here to tell US on the HAMB about it! I have lived in El Cajon for several years before moving back to Colorado... Part of my decision back then to move...We had a gang fight ..with guns...three houses down from our place.. That, is more than enough to convince you to get the hell out of dodge!! Lived down on the south end of Washington Ave for those of you who know El Cajon, you know those areas are pretty harsh from time to time.. Lain
Hah. I've been there ... Some dick in a Chrysler once chucked a screwdriver straight back, directly at me.
I did a search for "meth" in this post and only came up in the word something... Sometimes crazy is chemical.
We all have tempers, I tell my son who is a hothead "so get out of the car and start beating him with a ball peen hammer" and when you are done, you'll be up for murder and if you don't kill him, he will receive most of your weekly check because he sued the shit out of you, moral of the story, walk away its the intelligent thing to do or be a bad ass and pay for the rest of your life
I drive a company car as my DD. It has a sticker next the license plate that says "Bosal Exhaust" on it. I remember that every time I want to run some asshat over. Obvious marking for a stupid blue Trailblazer like the other 1 million out there... Good move, get out of there. I like the idea of finding him on your own time and documenting for safety sake.
Bad part about a club is if he takes and hits you with it .. I'd just call NINE ONE ONE ..tell them you "think" HE has a gun they'll be on him like a duck on a June bug Avoid confrontation at all costs .. My 2 cents
True story! A lady stops at a signal, which is red, gets out of her car to buy flowers. Light turns green, guy behind lady starts honking his horn. Lady gets back into car and makes a right turn. The guy pulls along side and tells the lady she's not suppose to stop there. Lady yells at the guy to pull over. The guy pulls in front of the lady and stops. The guy gets out of his car, lady gets out of her car and throws a full water bottle at the guy. The bottle misses the guy but breaks the sideview mirror on his car. According to the guy, the lady walks up and slaps him in the face. The police are called and the guy makes a citizens arrest on the lady for battery and vandalism. No independent witnesses so D.A. refuses prosecution. Now the lady can sue the guy for false arrest. Best thing to do is to carry a video camera or at least a tape recorder, because no one wants to get involved. Someone was acting like a**h**e so I picked up a tape recorder and they calmed right down. They said, "God bless and have a good day". Amazing........
I met a guy with "roid rage". I asked him if he was acting that way because of steroids. Man, did he instantly calmed down. Now he's nice to me. Guess he doesn't want me telling everyone he's on roids, as if everyone didn't already know.
Nothing personal but that's a stupid suggestion. If you even touch your gun you better be ready to kill somebody with it. Leave the gun at home. If the monster invades your space, hit 'em with the stick if you have to, then hit the throttle. When we have to have a gun to go cruisin' it's probably time to find a new hobby. Just my two cents worth.
you are totally right! If ya pull a gun on someone, there is a reason. and no i dont think anyone should be throwing em around with this hobby......................
You all realize SOME of those drivers out there are frying on Chrystal Meth or something else? Kind of a problem sometimes on our local streets. Better to stay cool and leave it behind then end up dead at the hands of some unreasonable ice head!

Years ago some kid with one of those threatened me with it. I don't know what his problem was, I was out miles away from home on some country two-lane road trying to take pictures of a train, and this clown pulls over and gets out and motions me to get out of the car while waving this thing at me. All I can figure is he's pissed that I chose that spot to pull off to the side of the road.. there wasn't even any other traffic around. I just gunned the motor a little and wondered how stupid this asshat had to be to be expecting me to get out of my 3800-lb car so he can try to stick me with this thing to impress his girlfriend and his boyfriend sitting in the car. It's like, fuck that, you want to stun something, stun my car. And that was before cell phones were everywhere, before meth was a huge problem, etc. etc. Like 1992. So the only real point is an idiot like this can be anywhere - in the inner city, or so far out in the country the closest town has only one traffic light. I think if I was faced with the same situation now, I'd just crack the window, invite him to come ahead on over and stick me with that thing while I'm in the car and tell him I only paid $500 for my truck, I have three more beaters ready to put on the road, and I sure hope I wouldn't stab my foot to the floor from the shock and ram the shit out of his little car. Or run his ass over.
dude when you said hickory stick i thought you meant one of those hickory farms salami logs that are like 3ft I was getting hungry
