So this happened last night to me and the gf on the way home, no idea who he is or what his issue was. Just slowed down in front of me and slammed on his brakes, then decided to race when I tried to go around.

I dunno what is with diesel guys around here, but they’re a little different. Another guy in a newer power stroke asked to race so we did, I blew his doors off, he got mad, followed me home then proceeded to do a one tire fire burnout in front of my house lol. Interesting people.

You don't live in Texas do you? I encounter tool bags like these almost daily in Houston traffic. Never know if they're just stupid or looking for trouble. One reason I carry my gun with me now in the truck at all times. Really contemplating putting a brush guard on my truck and putting in a dashcam too for instances like this, which just happened to me four days ago going home on the freeway with a ******* in a Mercedes. Glad everyone is alright.

I’m in Canada so there’s no concealed/open carry here. All my guns have to stay at home. If I could carry I absolutely would.

Looks pretty normal, but it just seems to attract weird people.

Nice truck! Looks like a baby version of mine as I have a 13 1500 Sport but mine has a 4” Rough Country lift and 35x12.5r17 tires. Lol.

I’ve considered a front full size bull bar and a steel rear bumper because the idiots here in Chicago like to disappear from sight because they’re tailgating so close. I installed 3000 lumen LEDs in my cargo lights and reverse lights. That’s their first warning. If they keep it up, I slam on the brakes and wait for them to scratch my hitch. Lol. But I’m also an ex biker bar bouncer and club bouncer downtown Chicago as well as growing up in Detroit. I’m still extremely cautious about when I get out of my truck though! Just be smart and be safe!!

Holy crap your Whipple is so much louder than mine! I can barely hear mine over the sound of the exhaust.

Sorry about the wackadoodle noodles they're everywhere and breeding at an alarming rate.

Sometimes I wish I just drove an armoured truck lol, a lot less worries about people running into you.

Luckily I got about 600hp in that thing so I can hopefully get away from any douche canoe if I need too.

I’ve thought about adding a dash cam in the rear window looking backwards as well. Need as much proof as you can if something happens.

I had a guy do the same in highway construction kept doing burnouts in front of me to blow black smoke around. ******* then they come on forums crying about **** wrong with their truck.

I’d put it lower like at the bottom of the tailgate or by the hitch so there’s clear proof of how close they are and exactly what they’re doing.

At least they are trolling a whipple’d truck to race. Diesel bro’s here roll coal on my pentastar, like I am going to race my NA V6 6000lb truck.

That's called brandishing and it's a illegal. It's not funny, it's not cool, and if you're a responsible gun owner it's something you would never do or encourage others to do even jokingly.
At least I don't think it's funny.

Check out the licence plates.

Brandishing is the least of your problems there.

Yeah Tim, that's a 911 call, right there.

Dash cams are a very good idea. They've become very cheap, less than $25 for a really good one.

Can you have a shotgun in a truck in Canada?

Certain diesel guys seem to have a complex, don't they? I've been on one of my motorcycles, and they mess with me. Strange....
