A good 10-15% of our state cops up here are in plain gray Chargers.
Once in Utah I saw somebody pulled over in an unmarked Mustang.

Oh yeah! That reminds me...

In high school I drove my mom's 1994 Plymouth Voyager. I re-aimed the back window washer and used it on tailgaters.

Haha. Did you fill the washer container with oil slick?

i guess it doesn't really matter now but i work in new mexico and yes unmarked cars can pull you over. same in texas. i think that's bs but it's just the way it is. but there is also always that situation where it's dark and you can't tell what the car is behind you. i came so close to brake checking some a-hole who came up on me all fast on I-10 while i was passing another vehicle. i decided against it and just sped up and moved over into the right lane. turned out it was a highway patrol. few miles up the road he's got some corvette pulled over on the side of the road. frankly i don't see why he didn't just have his emergency lights on but oh well he didn't and if i had brake checked him he probably wouldn't have been happy at all.

You don't need to tailgate. Just high-beam the guy up a couple of times, and he'll get out of the way (at least he should)

I agree, Yes has a right to his opinion, but folks, lets face it, he was doing alot of that stuff for the sole purpose of instigating the fight. Just to tick you off. He knows how to trip buttons and enjoys doing it. For that he should be banned and I hope they are watching his IP, cause I'm sure he will be back. I'm a Mod over at Heartlandrc.com and we go out of our way to NOT be ban happy. People are different and some are easier to get along with than others, hang with those you like and avoid the others. But some times there are trolls that just like to start stuff to be difficult. Those are the ones you watch for.
And man, amongst us redneck RC racers, theres a bunch,LMAO!!

he had it coming, he was acting like a total child about the subject. Its ones thing to disagree about something, its another to just be outright rude about it

back on topic, you guys should come over here and see how any inkling of an idea of lane discipline is a laughable concept

on a 4-lane highway, the slowest lane (usually reserved for trucks) becomes the unofficial super fast lane if people in the fast lane aren't going fast enough for your taste... weave weave weave is the word of the day.

and yes, road deaths here are horrifically high
