so im driving my old hiace van today (the skylines getting resprayed). i move into the right turn lane to turn right... and the we go when the lights goes green. there is this dude in this hotted up forester and nice rims driving behind me. my van is slow and i acknoledge that so while tasking the turn into the new street with two lanes in each direction, i change into the lefthand lane so he can go around me...he seemded like he was in a hurry...

anyway while we take the turn he tries to overtake me on the lefthand side (which is illegal) and then beeps his horn heaps as he changes back to the right lane... i over reacted a bit (and stuck my finger up at him as he beeped and drove passed) and then cracks the shits and speeds up...

no ok this is where it should end but:

he now cuts in front of me and slows right down really fast trying to get me to slam into his ass. then he stops and starts to reverse!!! dude seriously what are you doing?!?!? he then moves on and we meet at the next set of lights...he shouts some words of abuse and tells me i cut him off... i say im sorry and natraly he tells me i cant drive or i should open my eyes... strange since i was actually trying to get out of the road for him...anyways...

to make it even funnier, he then proceeds to turn in this group of aparments up ahead...MY APARTMENTS! he lives in my building.... not fun.

anyway... have you had an experience like this? any suggestion what i should do when i finnaly come face to face with him as its inevitable...?

im mean in sorry if you think i cut you off, but you were overtaking on the left had side of a vehicle which is illegal and i was trying to get out of your way anyway... and why try and make someone crash into you...especially when you seem to take pride in your vehicle... strange...

Obviosuly the man has a small dick. Proven fact.

Now, call the police and tell him he's selling Ecstasy from his apartment. (obviously finding his car so you can find out the number he lives in). Tape the whole thing and pulish on Youtube for worldwide distribution

If you know what room he lives in I'd probably go knock on his door and explain the situation.. Not to stir more shit but explain the circumstances and your intentions. Say it was just a misunderstanding and that your sorry. If he doesn't also apologise at least you tried..

That way you can rest easy if he recognises you later when parking your newly painted skyline outside the apartment. Better than getting panels keyed.

All that aside he sounds like an absolute tool and deserves a punch in the face. I've had situations similar to what you're describing and it really makes my blood boil!!

Yeah, you could do that. That's a good non-confrontational way of going about it.

It's better to sort through these type of things rather than letting them later escalate in to something bigger.. Happens too often. Nothing worse than having to worry about people who are holding grudges against ya!

why appologise for something the other guy did wrong>???

edit

tell mofo to go get farked lol

Its called being the bigger person...

That and as mentioned above, this bloke might be a hot head and think keying a newly painted skyline is fun.

That said take note, the old finger 99% of the time makes the situation worse.

Nobody is going to remember a white hiace van, even if you park next to them everyday. I wouldn't worry bout him recognising you or your car, and even if he did jerry bout the van, he woulndn't be certain enought to risk getting kicked out of his apartment by keying another tenants car in the carpark, Report him to the EPA in a couple of weeks for having a loud exhaust (if he has one) or blowing black smoke, or even throwing a durrie out the window. You don't need much info either, time & place, knowing where is lives would have both those covered by taking note of what time the car is missing in the morning over a couple of weeks. Its a pain in the arse to dispute these things even if he doesn't get charged, if he goes around doing stupid sh*t like what he did to you, chances are he's a loose cannon and has done it before, therefor couldn't pin it on revenge for one particular incident.

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
