Dear Fucktrumpet in the Volvo on 405 this morning,
When you merge onto the highway, it’s not a very good idea to move into the middle lane and slam on your brakes when someone is traveling at speed, about 1000 feet behind you.
Sincerly,
The driver of the black IS300 that really wanted to pull you out of your car and slap the shit out of you.

I miss driving in the PNW, I thought drivers there were bad. They ain’t got shit on Southern Illinois, everyday I see something completely insane here. It’s truly amazing.

My most hated part of driving is when I have to merge on the highway behind someone - I don’t think people understand that by the time you merge you should already be doing 100km/h+ (or whatever actual traffic speed is) and that the on-ramp is meant for you to accelerate.
I’m always fully-clenched whenever I’m behind some fuck who has reached the end of the on ramp and we’re only doing 70km/h.
Why this idiot decided to brake after merging is beyond me, but you figure the easiest place to drive should be the place where the least mistakes occur, but it's always just a shitshow.

I know! Or when someone won't accelerate period, but instead they will gradually gain speed. The V12 helps with accelerating though :)

I believe it’s called a Vuvuzela.

I have a 1.6L 4-cylinder, makes 110hp on a good day. Oddly enough, it's more than adequate for most driving situations since people don't drive very fast around here. Only time where I wish I had more power is when I'm on a two-lane highway where passing opportunities are infrequent. My car needs a very long straight to make a responsible passing manoeuver.

I’m going to start using fucktrumpet more often. That’ll be one of my new favorites like douchecanoe

Sounds like the V90 driver that my dad saw who literally merged into the side of a Prius on the expressway...perhaps us Volvo drivers get too much of a feeling of invulnerability...

Yeah, I feel your pain. My dd for 11 years was a 1998 accord with the 4 pot and it'll be my winter car when I put the S600 away in a few days.

Dear Fucktrumpet
I need to start using this.
