Today I was driving my little Fiat home late at night on a 4 lane road. I was in the slow lane at a red light when some honda civic pulls up behind me. As soon as the light turns green I start going, but my car accelerates slowly and this guy was impatient and tailgating me. I was going the speed limit of 70km/h and the car in the passing isn't going much faster either. This guy kept tailgating me extremely close and then when he gets a chance to switch into the passing lane, he shines his high-beams and gives me the finger. Being in a car like that is a lot of fun, but it can be scary when there are so many aggressive douchebags on the road.
I really wasn't going that much slower than the cars in the passing lane, but my initial acceleration was slower and it ticked him off. Its not like I was just crawling along, he had no justification for what he did and I regret not getting his license plate and calling in a possible drunk driver.

On a separate note, earlier in the day I had approached a rail crossing and slowed down to avoid the bumps, but it was still apparently bumpy enough to cause the car to quit, so I pull over safely and have a look inside to see that my brand new condenser had its wire break off at the base where the wire meets the condenser. I have no idea how this broke off as I had not been flexing the wire when handling it, and it had plenty of slack. Fortunately I had kept the old condenser with me and swapped it out and was back on the road in short order, but now I'm seriously considering getting one of those hall effect sensor thingies to replace my points/condenser, and maybe add a 126 dual coil to avoid the breaker points also as I've seen other people have done on here...
