What did you do with your 4runner today?

[LTDSC]

Yep, I love when somebody decides to high beam me (not just a quick flash) for the soul purpose of being a dick. Hitting them with the light bar makes them realize the error in their ways very quickly.



They do in the South.

THIS. I've flashed my lights for those who cruise with high beams because they're too stupid to realize that the blue lights on the dash means high beams.

I thought it was died out here but someone did it to me the other day. I was like did this mf'er just flash me? my lights aint even...oh theres a cop. Thanks bud.

At dusk i cruise parking lights on and fogs. Its definitely bright enough to drive with and makes people not flash me.

If you noticed, I didn't directly call you ignorant nor say you had road rage.

No, actually you did

Sounds like the ignorant one is you

Then you tried to insinuate that I would have something to do with someone dying due to road rage that I don't have.

The only high horse here is from you for taking such offense to me telling you to calm down.

No, I took offense to you calling me ignorant, when I wasn't doing anything wrong, or breaking any laws.

Like I said, I didn't directly call him anything. In fact, maybe I was trying to help him. You mods really do favor the heavy posters don't you?

They're not favoring me at all, but again, I'm not the one calling people names either...

I still do, but apparently I shouldn't. I roll down my window and give a little finger wiggle too sometimes.

Flipping people off isn't road rage? But me getting blinded for no reason on a 5 minute trip to my house is? Nice...

This is exactly my thought process every single (rare) time it happens to me, nailed it!

Why don't you reread those two again. There's a difference between "You are ignorant" and "Sounds like you are ignorant". And no I didn't state you would die. I stated people die due to road ragers. Not because people road rage against you and kill you. You really are cynical. And I see reasoning with you is pointless since you still want to continue taking offense when I'm clearly not trying to start anything with you.

Finger wiggle as in how a siren spins around...If I wanted to say flip someone off I would have said "flip someone the bird because there's a cop around the corner". Wow.

Helping people is so rare nowadays, society thinks its an attack or pure idiocy more so than being helpful. I've been pulled over for making a full stop before, cop said I didn't stop at all. Couldn't prove him wrong of course. Thought in the future I could help warn others of roadside cops, but I guess this is seen as a problem nowadays so I'll stop.

Well, it's only interpreted as bad in the beginning until you realize the altruistic motives behind it. Keep flashing!

Dash cam would help with that problem. I've been looking into getting one, but I don't really have anywhere to put it with my GPS and radar detector in the front window so it'll probably wait till I get a double din with nav which is on the list after full skids. So never.

Heh, too much negativity in the world. I might get shot around here if I flash the wrong person now that I think about it. I remember one time I pulled up alongside one of those big white commercial vans, the girls side door wasn't shut all the way so I tried to tell her. She took it the wrong way, sped off, pulled in front of me and slammed on the brakes. Then sped off down the road and waited for me just so she can honk her horn.

I've got one now, its in such a visible spot, the only way it could be seen any easier is if I painted it pink. Haven't been pulled over since. Would like to get one of the nicer ones though as I just picked up a cheapo one as a trial run.

now play nice you two

I'm trying but he keeps picking at my posts like some form of personal attack.

I had some d bag like this this other night in a minivan who was doing like 50 in the left lane, I had food poisoning and a 3 hour drive and I flashed my brights at her once and she had an f'ing cow and kept brake checking me and I couldn't pass her. So she got the 40" led bar and HID spot light lights in her rear view for the next 30 seconds till she decided to pull over and let me go, but then cut right back into the left lane with her brights on and I drove off. It was too bad I didn't have rear facing lights. I'm looking into a pair now :heh:

Changing the subject.... Several weeks ago I was going up a hill, saw a pair of headlights pop over the crest and I flipped my highs off. Passed the car and it immediately turned into blue lights. $80 ticket. I would love to have a lightbar for the next time i see that cop; if I blind him enough, he won't be able to catch and harass me

With great power come great responsibility

Why don't you reread those two again. There's a difference between "You are ignorant" and "Sounds like you are ignorant". .

"Sounds like you're the ignorant one" is just a passive aggressive way to call someone a name while claiming that you're not actually calling them it. Zach and Alex obviously read it the same way I did given their responses, but whatever. I don't want to argue symantics with you, I responded to 1 post to point out what you said, I didn't pick apart and analyze all your posts. Good day to you :yo:

Should have shit in a bag and threw it at her. You could get alongside her and rotate one of your ditch lights towards her lol. Her highs can't get you there.

Since you clearly want to continue this vendetta of yours, so be it. Whatever refuels your superiority complex buddy. Clearly you are a very lonely man, so I'll keep you company. No where did Zak get involved in this, so don't try and pull him into this thinking you have people by your side. You've picked apart every single post and just went at single sentences, so I'd like to disagree with you there.

Btw, that was an insult. So ban me Zak.

Driving home, at dusk, wasn't even dark yet, and I had 7 different people flash me with their highbeams because I didn't have my headlights on. I guess they think that my DRL ambers mean that I'm unaware that my headlights are on? I started flipping them off after the 4th one, so freaking ignorant to highbeam me. I'm not an idiot, I get that lots of people are dumb and don't turn their headlights on, but you don't need to highbeam me. If my orange lights are on, obviously you can see me. Do you really have to blind me? I can see the road just fine, it's not even dark yet... This was literally in a 5 minute stretch from the highway to my house...

I started turning my fogs off then back on to alert people, whether its deer or an accident or a headlight out. It gets the point across without blinding.

 

[zopperman]

I don't want to ban anyone, but i also don't want to see all this derp in this thread that I frequent.

So, both of you, drop it and move on and we can all be happy.

This is much better, and more considerate than highbeaming someone for multiple seconds :shrug:

Totally enjoying being back in the daily routine with "my" Runner and not Greg's….I have been loving EVERY minute of it :reddance:

Plastidipped all my tools in the back so they don't slide around till I get some money to order a weather tech cargo liner. While back there organizing I found this lovely little surprise one of yall left for me:hunter: .
