Talking Was I wrong?

Ok, Im crusing on my way to school this morning and at this intersection where I can just plow through because I dont have a stop sign, this MY98 Rally Blue with gold wheels decides to try and "beat" me across the intersection. Now I didnt honk and flip this lady the bird, but I gave her a rather annoyed look because I felt cut off!A little hand motion like "whats your frequency 'foo?" was used after I clearly had to apply the brakes fast and hard...she noticed me when she was halfway through and turned her her head over her sholder to look at me as I was going behind her in the intersection with the look of "whats your problem?" or "nice car". If I had hit that lady, I would have been real pissed..because 2 subies would have died and because of her, my baby would have been lost! ARRRGHGHHHHH..just venting. Im glad it didnt happen.

[EDIT] a couple of typos, and I cleaned it up a little.

I understand how you feel. I almost got killed a dozen or more times during my trip to VT last weekend, mostly by people who:

1. Saw my car and wanted to "get loud" with me.

2. Weren't paying attention

3. Were driving erratically.

Driving's a privilege, but it should be an earned responsibility.

All those in favor of a pass/fail car control school as part of the requirements for a license say "aye."

"Brat" is from Corners NY, and has a MY98 with Gold rims? Is that anywhere near you? Not this any of this is funny, but it would be kind of weird if it was her.

it is just a good thing for many that most of us are very aware drivers and look out for ourselves (and them in a way).

Oh my gosh..thats right..brat lives 15 minutes from me. I still dont think it was her as I have seen it early in the morning before and todays thing happened at like 8AM..not unless she has a BF over on my side of the river or something like that. I highly doubt it was her but you never know...if it was, this is some fricken strange way to meet

Was it you brat?

The chances of her being on this board are pretty slim I think.....no one in my town cares about Subarus except this one dude I know who made his 87 wagon into a rally machine but thats a different story.

If you were the driver and you read this message...I forgive you, but pleaseeeeeeee dont do that again!

No guys, it was not me. I wouldn't do that! If I do ever run into any of you, I'd give you a beep and a wave, not cut you off.

I havent ever been to **gasp** Poughkepsie, but I frequent Red Hook and Rhinebeck a lot. Who knows, maybe I will see you around. I have a dark green L, with a red badge, and a Thule rack with fairing (bucking bronco sticker on it...hey its from wyoming so no cracks) a SPT, and a whole slew of others. As for the rear...geeze, where do I start? I have a Free Tibet sticker(Cant miss it for the world..its "key my car yellow"), a NESIC sticker in my back window drivers side, and a whole bunch of others.....nothing ricey though. My car has personality See you around!

Kevin

I know you were going to ask your brother (or was it cousin?) if he would be down for a RS suspension transplant, but as of now I need to think about brakes (pads are the part I am unsure about)....ever change yours!?

Heh, you only wished it was Brat. Apparently there are a lot of people who would like a run in like that with her.

P.S. Meant as a compliment BTW, Brat.

Thanks Rez.

You would all know it is me if I do run into you. I have a NESIC sticker on the back window, a little leopard on the back sill and I would beep too!

Kev-
I am Pok quite a bit for school and shopping. I work in Stanfordville, live in Clinton, have friends in Wappingers, I go all over. You'll never know where you might see me.

Hmm, Red Hook. I have a friend at Bard College. I visited him last fall in my Scooby, and I might go again during Spring Break (early March). Maybe I'll pop a post to the list before I go to see if any Scoobs want to meet up.
