    One more vote for the girlfriend letter

    I'm glad you are OK! I had a motorist cut me off (I was going downhill at about 30 mph!) and I followed him into the parking lot. I said, "You could have killed me!" His response: "You could have scratched my car!" and he went into the store. I called 911 and within a few minutes a cop was there. Imagine his surprise when he emerged from the store to find me and a cop standing by his car! The cop made me leave (I was a a little angry) so I don't know what happened. Made me feel better, though.

    This was a silver infiniti QX5 - a 2004 model according to my lookup owned by a remodeling and construction company.

    I still can't believe I was stupid enough to chase him to the light and pull up next to his dirvers side window and stare him right in the face! What was I thinking? In Texas people can carry guns you know!

    (PublicData.com is a fee based service - about 20 bucks a year - that provides a LOT of info for some states - Texas is one it covers pretty well - I have an account so if you ever need a tag number looked up, let me know - I think it's well worth the 20 dollars as you can look up criminal records and stuff too which is great for you single ladies who are dating!)

    Oh and the only other vehicles that have almost sideswiped me were Lexus's - in the same area of town as the Infiniti yesterday.

    Bunch of North Dallas creepy car snobs....(I can say that - I live north of Dallas and I drive an SUV!)

    dang... I'm glad you are OK! I've only ever had one person do that to me... he swerved into my lane, then back out, I could see him looking back and laughing in his rearview mirror... then he swerved into me again! I smacked his truck with my pump... but his truck was a POS so he just kept going... light ahead was red, so I geared down, got outta the saddle to chase and he cut thru a 7-11 parking lot and went right, skipping the stop light. Not sure WHAT I would've done if I caught him...

    I always carry pepper spray, mostly for dogs, but ya just never know...
    There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".

    I'm thinking handlebar mounted paintball gun, nice splat of some color like puke green, something that doesn't go with any car.

    No dice - leaves the paintball shooter open to charges of vandalism or assault

    He suggested a jersey that reads on the back "Warning - PAINTBALL GUN ON BOARD"

    It's all asking for trouble - isn't it
