that guy aint gonna do anything with that 50 cal. the amount of time and effort he has to go thru to be able to use that against you effectively is too much considering how close you are to him. mess up the belt right near the firearm and he might be able to get 1-2 shots off at most if he even gets a chance to. additionally, he would have to rack it unless he's insane enough to be driving around with that thing already racked without anyone manning it.

basically, this guy is prolly the least threatening guy out there because he's so over the top with threatening others; he did a loop back to the other end of the continuum. like they say in Cuba, "a dog that barks does not bite." to me, this guy is saying, "if there is any sort of violent altercation coming, kill me first."

I doubt he's trying to intimidate anyone. It's most likely a fake. He has an M20 super bazooka in there too. He's probably on the way to a recreation, static display, parade or even a movie set. A lot of guys that restore vehicles like that rent them out for movies.

Agreed, he’s probably expecting compliments not averted eyes

It ain't the .50 cal you need to worry about. The .45 in his belt is what's gonna get you if you decide to make a scene. And the decision to make a scene tells him you're unstrapped.

What would you do other then "let it slide" when getting cut off? Probably nothing acceptable. Don't road rage guys.

Violence, the one true power, from which all other powers are derived.

He passed u on the right ...you're the asshole who is lucky that dude didn't light u up and save the rest of us from your shitty driving habits.

Are you... ok?

I doubt he cut you off - if you've ever driven an old Jeep, just hitting a pothole (and there are LOTS of 'em!), it's an automatic lane-change!

I look at it as a game at this point - bonus points when you can look away from the road for 0.3 seconds while white-knuckled hands on the steering-wheel...and see the fear in the other driver's eyes.

I love my Jeep...you actually have to DRIVE IT WHILE FULLY FOCUSED versus playing with your phone!

I somehow come out of this thread wanting more people to buy jeeps.

But he would certainly lose in a sliding competition...?
