You knew what you were getting into, moving to Florida... lol

I'm glad you're ok Slasher. I hope your sister learned something from the whole experience.

I have one of my own.

About a month ago, me and my cousin were walking a few blocks from my house. We noticed across the street a big group of guys, maybe 7 or 8 of them. We walked faster, since past experiences taught us that if you're outnumbered, you're ****ed. We made our way down the street, and big surprise, the guys were following us. "Hey, maybe they're just a bunch of gay guys who wanna hit on us". Well, that wasn't the case. They started running in our direction, and we did likewise. Unfortunately, me and my cousin are slow as ****, so they caught up with us. In the middle of a one way street, we were mobbed by these guys, and I had no freakin clue who I was hitting, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't my cousin. Anyway, I heard a sound I had never been happier to hear in my life. A police siren. The guys scattered, and the cops reached us. The cops picked up a knife from the floor, dropped by one of the guys, and after some questions they sent us on our way. I had a whole bunch of bruises on my face and I might've cracked a rib, and my cousin's nose was a mess. Cops didn't even ask if we were alright, they just told us to get home. I don't even think they went after the guys, and if they were they were taking their sweet time.

I have no doubts in my mind me or my cousin would have been stabbed or worse if luck hadn't been on our side. And if I learned anything from the experience, it's that I'd better stay the **** away from that block in future.

So yeah. Hope you guys enjoyed that little account. ;)

But personally, if I see someone that thinks they rule the road because they drive an F-250 with dope rims and a lift, I hang around them a little bit and wait for them to do something moronic. A little risky though since I'm only driving a little VW Jetta. But if I get hurt, it makes them realize how dangerous of a driver they are.

I don't think I rule the road. I drive very defensively actually. My friends all tell me that I drive too slow, but I just stay at the speed limit. I'm not one of those kids that has like a 12 inch lift sitting on 22 inch rims. My truck has a simple 3 inch body lift and tiny 17 inch rims. My truck is only two-wheel drive, lol.

And to Pan, I was only joking about driving a massive truck so no one will mess with you. I'm not that ignorant.

Well, my appologies for my misinterpretation.

No worries. I can understand though... it's hard to tell how someone is saying something through written words.

I still love ya.

I hate people on the road they can't drive and women suck at driving period.

Nice to see you two have kissed and made up. Great comments from a moderator btw...

No offense to you Swiss, as this is not directed towards you specifically, but most Floridians can't drive for ****. They do 95 in a 55, every lane is a passing lane to them, and for some odd reason the turn signal works differently to them. I went to Florida for a week in November to see my relatives, and the way they change lanes...dear god. It's supposed to be left on for 5 seconds, and then you ease in to the next lane. But down there its like "Get the **** out of my way because I'm not checking any mirrors at all and just going!" It's atrocious on the roads down there. If you can drive in that on a regular basis god bless you, because I'll take bumper to bumper in NYC over that any day.

And like some people who've posted, I'm also one of the ones that do speed limit. 30-35 is not slow at all. When somebody is riding me, I'll go 5 miles over the limit at the most, and screw them after that.
