I thought about installed another nozzle on my rear wiper base mount facing to the rear, and putting a cheapo sprayer from the junkyard behind the trunk matting with a small bottle I could fill with something messy.

I would be pissed if it sprayed on my car though. Might look into that tomarrow, lately I have been harassed by a bunch of the local ricers.

People don't take kindly to tailgating either, hence why they brake check.

Some people will do anything to be JDM even risk breaking their neck and crashing their car

I hear you man. I usually stay calm. Sometimes I get tired of Hondas throwing the VTAK at me. Once in a while I have to stomp them down.

I love people riding my bumper. I had a 300zx riding my bumper pissing me off. We came to the light and I 2stepped it...it was so funny I was lmao. A huge cloud of black smoke engulfed his car. Needless to say he'll think twice about riding a evo's bumper next time.

I saw it on someone's sig

"Owning a 10 second SRT-4 is like coming out of the closet. In the end, it's still a neon and you're still gay"
uhhh i believe the quote went more like this from what i saw...

"Owning a 10 second srt-4 is like coming out of the closet, at first everyones surprised, but in the end your still gay."

Then i looked at my rear view mirror only to see him flicking me off through the windshield to further intimidate me. Being only 18 years old and having two of my best friends die in a car crash due to speeding over in Long Valley last year, I have no intention in street racing anytime soon. My dad was in the passenger seat and told me to brake check the b**** to get him off me. So I did, but since he was so close and we were in the right lane, the only way for him to avoid me was to pull over onto the shoulder and come skidding to a stop since there was a minivan on our left side Got what he deserved.
Dude props for keeping a cool head and having a cool dad

Thumbs up

man i can't belive people tailgate like that. i was on 83 one time and some guy w/a zx-2 escort was riding close i would say two to three feet... i hit the brakes a little too hard and all of a sudden i see him swerve by me almost off the road to the left of the passing lane to avoid hitting me... i dont' do that anymore.
anyway i find that the stock advans are my best defence and riding near the white line when someone tails me, usually they get a few nicks in thier bumpers and windshield from cinders or small pebbles and fall back....
good though you kept your cool.

Every single one I have come across has done the exact same thing.

Next time one try's to start something with u at a red light just roll ur rear windows up-and down. They have manual rear windows, and it really pisses them off.
i know all of them act like that 2 hear in vegas.. when i still had my galant vr4 built motor n gt35 i kinda smoke several srt's here..
